Another amazing site

There are so many things about Viterbo I loved and this is one of them. Viterbo is full of history and it doesn't take much to find it. This center is a great starting point for your tour of Viterbo.

Well Worth The Time

Lots to see and do

One of the larger historic centres in the region. Lots of beautiful little streets to wander around between meals. It is a university city so there are plenty of places to eat and drink good ice-cream if that is your thing. Worth a visit!
