A SINGLE TICKET ENTITLING THE HOLDER TO VISIT ALL THE MUSEUMS IN THE COMPLEX.
The "Opa Si" Pass lets you into the Cathedral, one of the finest cathedrals in the whole of Christendom and a treasure chest containing art treasures by such masters as Nicola Pisano, Michelangelo, Donatello and Bernini. You will also be able to admire the Piccolomini Library frescoed by Pinturicchio and the cathedral's outstanding marble-inlay floor.
The "Opa Si" Pass also allows you to visit the Baptistry of San Giovanni to admire the splendid Baptismal Font, one of the greatest monuments of Renaissance sculpture, and to explore the Crypt where you can admire a grandiose cycle of frescoes dating as far back as the 13th.
You also enjoy free access to the Museo dell'Opera to admire some of the "must-see" treasures of Italian art, including Duccio di Buoninsegna's Maestà, and wind up your visit by clambering up onto the panoramic terrace atop the Unfinished Façade of the New Cathedral, where you can enjoy the most mesmerising and unforgettable view of the city and the Tuscan countryside.

Located in the middle of Via Cateriniana, the Orti del Costone is a city garden "outside the city", where a breathtaking view, with the Basilica of San Domenico in front and the Cathedral behind, a vast space interspersed with silent paths and consecrated chapel, offer moments of peace and serenity.
Free admission from Monday to Friday from 10:30 am to 7:00 pm until September (with a short break from August 21st to September 5th).
Document certifying that the holder has completed a pilgrimage to Siena.
The same way the Compostelana and the Testimonium testify to your having completed the pilgrimage to Santiago or to Rome, so the Charta Peregrini Senensis certifies that you have completed your pilgrimage to Siena. It is the only official document proving that you have meditated, step by step, in the footsteps of the Sienese saints and in the places associated with the city's devotion to Mary. Ask for information either when booking or directly at the ticket office.

On account of its complexity embracing fully eight centuries of history (and not just local history either!), Siena Cathedral can become an important stage in an interdisciplinary pathway prompting children and teenagers to become aware of our region and of the most important works of art and architecture that have been created in it down the centuries.
The educational programme offers a series of themes stretching from painting and sculpture to history and to more specific aspects such as the marble inlay floor or the phases in the Cathedral's construction.

Viæ is an invitation to follow in the footsteps of history in order to enrich your own experience with the experience of the men and women, of the Christians and saints who have marked the life of the ancient city of Siena, turning it into a splendid testimonial to culture, faith and beauty.

The Cathedral lies inside the city's historic centre, thus it cannot be reached directly by car.
If you are coming by car, your best bet is to leave the motorway at the Siena Ovest exit and to head for the Parcheggio Duomo car park, or to leave the motorway at Siena Sud and to head for the Parcheggio Il Campo car park.
The Cathedral may be accessed by a dedicated ramp on the left-hand side of the building.
Regretfully the Museum, Crypt and Baptistry are currently devoid of systems for disabled access.
