About Viterbo

Viterbo rewards first-time visitors with a rare combination: a perfectly preserved medieval quarter, papal palaces, and the surreal spectacle of Civita di Bagnoregio, the so-called dying city, all within easy reach of Rome. Start with a Viterbo Private Tour: Discover the Medieval City of Popes to orient yourself in the car-free San Pellegrino district, then venture out to Civita di Bagnoregio: Private Walking Tour of the Dying City for the image that will define your trip.

Frequently asked questions

Viterbo is a compact medieval city where popes once held court, so first-timer tours focus on the papal palace, the car-free San Pellegrino quarter and the surrounding Tuscia countryside rather than monumental ruins. Private walking tours run about two hours, while day trips add Civita di Bagnoregio, Villa Lante or Orvieto.
