Palio of Siena

Witness Tuscany’s highly anticipated summer event from a 13th-century palace that offers a magnificent view of the historic Piazza del Campo square. From this vantage point, you can observe the stunning and vibrant spectacle of the race and savor every moment of excitement. Additionally, indulge in an aperitivo and a four-course meal prepared by a skilled chef, which showcases the region’s delectable food and wine. Our staff and servers will be available to guarantee your complete comfort throughout the event.

With the Palio lasting four days, savor the bustling atmosphere of the city and share the unique experience of the Palio di Siena with a complete itinerary during the three days preceding the race. 

Attend test races, dine in the Contrada set up along the city streets, dance to the popular songs that characterize different districts, take part in sacred processions and ceremonies, including the traditional blessing of the horse, the historic walk, and the extraordinary dinner of the general rehearsal that each Contrada organizes the evening before the race.

To experience the Palio all year round, we organize private visits to the most important museums in the Contrada, as well as exclusive dinners accompanied by famous jockeys of the past and present, along with visits to jockey stables and horseback riding in the splendid Sienese hills.
