Our advices about how you can do during December: the ice rink has just opened at the Christmas Village, nearby Giardini della Lizza; here you can skate also at evening and see the games that will take place for young and old. The itinerary of 9th December will be dedicated to children, a parade full of colors with the sledge of Santa Claus, two elfs that will give ro9ast chestnut to everyone and the live music by Camillocromo street band.
About guided tours, that on 26th is very original, “Dispute di Palazzo al tempo dei Nove” at the Civic Museum is a visit where some historical protagonists of Siena during Middle Age will come back to life, by actors that will tell some anecdotes about debates of that period.
If your dream is high quality shopping we suggest, on 3rd and 4th, a visit to Mercato nel Campo, the market of farming and handicraft that will take place in the main square of the city, just as the XIII century, it’s a good fortune to admire craftsmen on working or taste the gastronomical excellences, certain a nice and great value gift.
