Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Pienza is a tiny and tidy jewel, the perfect Renaissance city designed by native Pope Pio II. The historic center of the city - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - is nestled on a hill surrounded by a circular path offering 360-degree vistas of the valley. Pienza features several churches, palaces, and monuments. Don’t miss the Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta and Palazzo Piccolomini with its magnificent garden. Wander through the historic alleys that have romantic names, making this village even more charming.
