In the heart of the Palio atmosphere
Experience the atmosphere of the most eagerly awaited time of the year. Siena fills with colours, sounds, traditions and authentic passion. The Palio is a unique experience that involves the entire city. Staying at the Grand Hotel Continental means enjoying it from a privileged location. Just steps from Piazza del Campo, let yourself be swept away by the beauty of the costumes worn by the Alfieri and drummers of the Contrade, who will parade right in front of the hotel.
Special Palio Breakfast
Start the day with an authentic tribute to an ancient tradition worthy of a true contradaiolo: discover the typical flavours of Palio mornings, with tripe, pappa al pomodoro, hand-sliced ham, pecorino cheese, bread with butter and anchovies, and a glass of red wine.
Palio Exhibition – “Cavalli in Corso 2”
The Grand Hotel Continental will host the works of Lara Androvandi, creator of the Masgalano 2024, the award presented to the best Contrada parade group. Works created using the Ebru technique and dedicated to the world of horses will delight guests along an artistic journey that engages with the tradition, elegance and deepest identity of the Palio.
