Siena is built around the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race is held, and its Gothic Duomo rises nearby. Medieval lanes lead past old fountains, the Fortezza Medicea and gardens such as the Orto de' Pecci. Its city walls and terracotta rooftops make a wide, varied route on foot, by bike or on a run.
Choose from 7 self-guided audio tours to walk, run, cycle and explore Siena, from 1.5 to 8.2 km, taking in Piazza del Campo, Via Banchi di Sopra, Fortezza Medicea (Giardini della Lizza), Basilica di San Domenico and Fortezza Medicea (Medici Fortress).
Each tour is told in your own language, any of 90, with narration and music that play from your phone as you reach each place: no group to keep up with and no fixed start time.

Rome's landmarks, from the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain, stand among streets layered with ancient and Baroque history. The Tiber River and the Villa Borghese gardens provide greener, quieter routes, with views from the Pincio Terrace. Narrow lanes in Trastevere and around Piazza Navona reward slow walks, runs and bike rides.
Canals shape Venice, and its broad waterfront at Riva degli Schiavoni offers wide lagoon views while the Giardini della Biennale provides rare green space. Quieter lanes around Campo dei Mori and Fondamenta della Misericordia reveal street art, small galleries and ornate palace facades. Lido's sea walls and lagoon paths suit a bike ride, and the waterfront suits a run.
Florence's character comes from its Renaissance art, its bridges and the Arno River running through the centre. Its best-known sights include the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, the Ponte Vecchio and Piazzale Michelangelo. Riverside paths along the Arno and quiet Oltrarno lanes make walking, running and cycling here a calm way to see the city.
Bologna is known for its medieval towers, its university and its lively nightlife on Via del Pratello. Piazza Maggiore, the Basilica di San Petronio and the Quadrilatero market sit at its heart. Narrow alleys, the hidden Finestrella di Via Piella and quiet parks such as Giardini Margherita give the city a relaxed pace for walkers and cyclists.
Naples runs along a bay where the Castel dell'Ovo, Villa Comunale and the Lungomare offer sea views and Vesuvius on the horizon. Its narrow alleys around San Domenico Maggiore and Via San Gregorio Armeno are full of street art, nativity workshops and ornate courtyards. Piazza del Plebiscito and the Galleria Umberto I add grander stops, and the waterfront is good for cycling or a run.
Milan mixes canal-side charm with grand landmarks like the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Sforza Castle. The Navigli canals, Brera's cobbled streets and the greenery of Parco Sempione add a quieter, leafier side. Its cycle lanes and park paths make the city easy to enjoy on foot, by bike or on a run.
