Bar Il Palio in Piazza del Campo is perfect for a nice glass of wine and good people watching.

Bar Porrione in Via del Porrione, right near Piazza del Campo and open until 3AM. Very student oriented, equipped with good beer, good music and good games.

Casa del Boia in Piazza del Mercato was an old execution site that is now used for theme nights - known especially for their Cuban music nights.

The Tea Room - Via di Porta Giustizia near the Piazza del Mercato. This bar is easy on the eyes with its beautiful interior and warm ambience. Come here for a cocktail and live music.

Let’s be honest, June is hot. It’s not always enjoyable to walk around all day sweating, but with the help of some gelato you can cool off a bit; try Pasticceria Nannini. Relax under the awnings of a restaurant and take in the city like you should. When the night hits and the temperature cools down, grab a nice glass of wine or a cocktail at Bar Il Palio and enjoy it on their outdoor terrace.

These months are where you will find some of the best weather in Italy. We highly suggest getting lost in this tiny city. Chances are you actually won’t get lost, but taking evening walks around the city and exploring is highly recommended. This is the best way to get to know a city in our opinion.

This is also harvest season for wine, so what better thing to do then some wine tasting? In the center you can visit Cantina in Piazza for a tasting or to purchase a bottle. If you want to visit an actual winery, check out La Lastra Wine Tasting for a tour of the vineyard, wine tasting and lunch.
