Tourism: Siena and the Val d’Orcia stormed for the Ognissanti bridge
Tuscany remains the coveted destination par excellence on weekends and summer and mid-season bridges. This All Saints’ Day was no less, thanks to the good weather that kissed the whole region so much that it could be May instead of the end of October. Tourists who came en masse, from all over Europe: France, Germany and Spain, but it is the Italians who prefer a picnic among art and landscape beauties that the Province of Siena offers more than any other area of Italy.
Siena is literally stormed which, according to the instructions of the booking portal “Booking”, the most clicked in the world, records 97% of general occupancy of structures including hotels, bed and breakfasts, apartments and accommodations.
The Val d’Orcia, together with the Sienese capital, remains the most sought-after and ideal destination for tourists looking for tranquility, beauty, art, good food and clean air. A boom in tourists that literally invaded the streets and paths of the Unesco Heritage Park.
The difficulties in reaching these places, isolated and far from highways, have not at all affected the tourists, who value the lack of accessibility as an added value. Lovers of these places who return to Val d’Orcia still driven today, after 20 years, by the unforgettable images of Il Gladiatore.
