The enchanting region of Tuscany is not known for it's extraordinary party scene, but it is known for many other beautiful evening events. One of my favorite parts of Italy is their aperitivo hour, following into dinner and drinks. In this section I will tell you where I recommend going for aperitivo, as well as some popular hotspots where people get together.
Nightlife - Siena
Siena, a classic example of an ongoing debate, is it more beautiful during the day or at night? If you're looking for a crazy night out with loud clubs, look again, this place might not be for you.
​
The best thing to do in Siena when the sun goes down is to have dinner, and then grab a drink in the Piazza del Campo overlooking the amazing buildings. There is a fun bar called Bar Il Palio, it becomes lively and you can get a drink and walk around the piazza. There are other neighboring bars that you can see around too.
​
There is one "club" that often has a karaoke night. It's a hotspot for tourists and students. It's a pretty young scene overall, mostly students either on exchange or visiting.
​
It's also normal for locals to invite you to a party in their Contrada (district). Just make sure you know your way back, Siena can be quite a maze.
Like Siena, I never know if it's more beautiful at night. This city goes from stunning and charming to completely enchanting by night. I recommend a rooftop aperitivo to start of the evening.

My two favorite rooftops are:
SE STO on Arno
La Terrazza Continentale
