Siena Palio

Medieval Horse Race and Parade

Il Palio dates back to the 1100’s and has been attracting spectators from around the world ever since. A spectacular pageant with traditional costumes and performers precedes the race where, jockeys ride barebacked in the Piazza del Campo. The race itself is often perilous with riders being thrown and horses finishing without their jockeys. Feel free to explore the ancient city before the race or claim a good spectator spot for the day. After the race, join in the massive celebrations throughout the city.

Included is: Roundtrip transportation by private coach with DVD’s, A/C and W/C, Bus2alps Trip Leader, Bus2alps city guide.
