Which one to choose in Siena
Two churches in Siena. Basilica of San Domenico, Siena has no online ticket listed; Siena Cathedral has 8 tickets and tours to book. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Siena, Italy
Entry is free with a donation box; there is no ticket and no guide service, and the church is not included in the cathedral's OPA SI pass. Walking tours of Siena include it and cost a moderate amount, usually pairing it with the house of St Catherine a few streets downhill, which is also free.
Siena, Italy
The cathedral is sold through a single combined pass, the OPA SI, which covers the church, the Piccolomini Library, the baptistery, the crypt and the museum with its panoramic terrace; buying the parts separately is possible but rarely cheaper. From late June to October the marble floor is uncovered and a dearer version of the pass applies, which is the moment to come if you can choose.
