Rome - Siena: Palio, Crete Senesi and Wine

An elegant journey through the Crete Senesi and the unique atmosphere of the Palio

During the most iconic weekend of the year for the city of Siena, the Roma–Siena Special Train offers an exclusive travel experience designed for those who wish to reach the Palio with style and comfort. On board the historic Gran Confort carriages – true icons of Italian railway elegance – every detail evokes the charm of long‑distance travel from another era: refined interiors, comfortable seating and large panoramic windows that turn the journey into a continuous spectacle.

Leaving Rome, the train crosses the Argentario coastline, the Maremma countryside and the hills of the Val d’Orcia, revealing landscapes that anticipate the beauty of Siena’s historic centre. A slow, curated and scenic journey – the perfect way to savour the anticipation of the Palio in a calm and atmospheric setting.

Once in Siena, travellers are free to immerse themselves in the energy of the event: vibrant streets, the colours of the Contrade, the sound of the Duomo’s bells, historic workshops and seasonal initiatives that make this moment of the year truly special. No organised activities, just the opportunity to experience the city at your own pace, embracing its most authentic atmosphere.
