Another option combines San Gimignano, Chianti, and Montalcino, while a separate tour covers San Gimignano, Siena, and Monteriggioni. These are all easy, well-established day trips from the city.
Plan 2 days for Siena itself: one to see Piazza del Campo, the Cathedral, and Palazzo Pubblico, and a second for Santa Maria della Scala, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, and the Pinacoteca Nazionale. If you want to take a day trip to places like San Gimignano, Montalcino, or Montepulciano, add an extra day. Three days total gives you a comfortable pace.
