# Visiting Siena in July
July is the most intense month: heat, crowds, and the first Palio on July 2.
Key facts
- Weather: 18-32°C, often hot.
- Palio: July 2 (Provenzano). Practice runs June 29-July 1.
- Crowds: maximum during Palio week.

What I tell visitors
Palio is unique, but if you don't want the crowds, plan around it. See our Palio guide.
