Workation in Siena: the essentials
Siena's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and still follows its medieval plan, running along three ridges and down into the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo. About 53,000 people live in the home town of Monte dei Paschi, the world's oldest bank, and the University of Siena, founded in 1240, along with a separate university for foreign students keeps the cafés full outside the holidays. The 17 contrade, or neighbourhood districts, remain a living institution, with the Palio horse races on 2 July and 16 August as their big moments. Florence airport is about 55 km away, the rail line is slow, and buses are often easier. Flats inside the walls tend to be old and reached by stairs.

Siena has no established coworking, despite demand from the university. People work from cafés and libraries in the old town; summer is crowded. Florence has fixed options.
