Balcony Standing · FO

Overlooking the famous San Martino turn, this balcony offers a privileged view of one of the most spectacular and distinctive sections of Piazza del Campo, where horses and jockeys negotiate one of the most challenging turns of the track. A particularly engaging position from which to watch the Historical Parade (Corteo Storico) and experience the excitement of the Palio up close.

The viewing position is located on a first-floor panoramic terrace, which is shaded by the time the Palio takes place. The ticket includes a buffet with a selection of food and snacks, accompanied by drinks, available during the event. Guests also have access to private restroom facilities and an indoor area, available for use throughout the event.

You must reach your viewing position by 4:45 PM. The Historical Parade begins shortly after 5:00 PM (slightly earlier in August) and lasts approximately two hours. The Palio takes place after the parade, and the event generally ends at around 8:15 PM.

Plan a few extra days in Siena
The Palio may be postponed due to rain or if track conditions do not allow the event to take place. We recommend planning your stay to include at least the two days following the scheduled date of the Palio.

Your ticket remains valid if the Palio is postponed
Your ticket will remain valid until the Palio is actually held. If you are unable to attend on the rescheduled date, no refund will be provided.

Arrive in Siena well in advance
On the day of the Palio, traffic restrictions and access limitations to Piazza del Campo will be in place. We recommend arriving well in advance and carefully following the final instructions you will receive before the event.
