Siena is an excellent city for shopping as it not only boasts several shops selling designer clothing, but is full of individual outlets that sell traditional hand-made items like jumpers and hats available at
Tessuti a Mano, Via San Pietro. The main shopping streets are Via Banchi di Sopra, especially good for clothes shops, and Via di Citta, which has souvenir and food shops.
There are many workshops, where artisans produce high-quality crafts. These include
Ceramiche di Santa Caterina, Via di Citta 74-76, for ceramics and
Vetrate Artistiche, Via della Galluzza for stained glass. A good selection of Tuscan food and wine can be found at
Drogheria Manganelli, Via di Citta 71-73, a former pharmacy that still has the original wooden fittings.
Shops generally open Monday to Saturday 0930-1300 and 1500-1900, although many close on Monday morning.
