Days of the Palio

The Palio is not just a horse race. It is a festival that lives in the hearts and souls of the people of Siena. To appreciate it takes more than one afternoon watching horses circle a track. For those who want to include the pageantry of this historical event, we offer our hotel and Palio ticket package.
