Siena Cathedral is an incredible experience. If you don't get in, you miss a lot. And buying the tickets online was straightforward and saved us a lot of time in the queue.

It is good to be able to book tickets online and pay online so why do I have to go to an office away from the venue to pick up a physical ticket? Paperless tickets on my mobile device would have been better.

The office to obtain the tickets, from the picture of a folder I was sent, was very near the building I was visiting ( Siena Duomo). Being elderly I was worried it might be a long walk. It was a full day outing with an early start so I only checked my Inbox for emails. However, a day later on checking my email Junk folder I found what would have been a helpful email from Headway. I suggest Headway find a way to make sure their communications do not go to Junk.

A Tuscan marvel

The Siena Cathedral, located in Siena, Tuscany, is a magnificent Duomo that showcases some of the most important aspects of the European artistic and architectural gamut. It has grown in popularity over the years, drawing more than a million visitors each year. Head into one of the finest cathedrals in the whole of Christendom! Uncover treasure chests containing art by Michelangelo, Donatello, Nicola Pisano, and Bernini.

A literary masterpiece

Nestled within the grand Siena Cathedral, the Piccolomini Library is a treasure trove of Renaissance art. Let the stunning frescoes guide your journey through history. Allow your audio guide to be your compass as you learn all about the life of Pope Pius II, depicted by Pinturicchio's frescoes.

Renaissance splendor

Next, visit the Baptistry of San Giovanni, where the splendid Baptismal Font will catch your eye. Wind further down to explore the eerie Crypt, where a grandiose cycle of frescoes dating back to the 13th century will make your acquaintance. At Museo dell'Opera, discover the works of Italian artists, including Duccio di Buoninsegna's Maestà. Wind up your experience by climbing to the terrace atop the unfinished façade of the new cathedral, where you can witness unaltered views of the city and the Tuscan countryside!
