If you are driving, PLEASE give yourself lots of extra time! We can't seem to stress this enough following the number of the times when people have been late or not come at all because they ended up circling Siena endlessly, not finding a parking or simply getting lost walking from the parking to our school (which is by the Duomo area).
Having warned you sufficiently, we hope, here's our parking advice: The closest parking to us is "Duomo" or just outside the Porta San Marco, or in front of the Hotel Athena. Parking in Siena costs around 1-2 euros an hour so make sure to have some coins change with you.
If you are driving on the highway to Siena, get off at the "Siena Ovest" exit and at the very first roundabout head up the hill to the San Marco gate (there's signing). Just inside the gate to the left is the "Duomo" parking. Should it be full, continue towards the Hotel Athena and park somewhere around there, or should that be full then park in non-residents parking spots (blue lines) outside the San Marco gate.
