The city of Siena is well known for the Palio, a spectacular horse race held on July 2 with much pageantry and celebration. Be sure to extend your stay few days and enjoy this historic Sienese Tradition.

A Testimonial from last years trip:

I went to Italy mainly to practice yoga and maybe learn some Italian. I came back with experiences that were completely different than what I expected!  Most of our afternoons were filled with Italian culture courses and it was these, together with Siena itself, that became the highlights of my trip.

Siena is a medieval hilltop city and it was fascinating to spend a month walking around medieval buildings, attending concerts, and visiting museums filled with medieval art. In addition we had daytrips every Saturday to different parts of Southern Tuscany. The  landscape is varied and very beautiful, and the whole area is filled with history.

 Another highlight was living with an Italian family and eating the way the Italians eat. It is amazing how they can make delicious dishes with very few ingredients, but they also use only very best ingredients. 
It was a trip that I will always remember.
