Each walk includes detailed maps to make navigation as easy as possible. Walk 1 - covers the Piazza del CampoWalk 2 - covers Siena NorthWalk 3 - covers Siena West including the CathedralWalk 4 - covers Siena South Explore Siena's labyrinth of little streets and lanes, Visit the churches, the fountains of the Contrade, and Climb the tallest tower in the city. Excerpt from the walk: "The inside of the Baptistery is beautifully decorated with frescoes, but the main attraction is the wonderful hexagonal baptismal font made of bronze, marble and enamel. It is decorated with panels representing the life of John the Baptist and was done by the greatest sculptors of the day. Find "Herod's Banquet" by Donatello, which shows a shocked King Herod being presented with the head of John the Baptist, which is surprising since he agreed to give it to Salome if she danced for him"
