Getting around
Arriving
Viterbo Porta Romana / Porta Fiorentina. Regional trains from Rome (about 2 hours via the FL3) and Cotral coaches from Saxa Rubra; the medieval San Pellegrino quarter is a 15 minute walk from either station.
Tickets · Cotral (regional arrival)
The walled centre including the papal palace is walked; buses matter for the Bagnaccio hot springs and Villa Lante outside the walls
Cotral app and tabaccherie; Trenitalia for the FL3.
Validate when boarding.
On foot
- ·San Pellegrino is Italy's best preserved medieval quarter; the papal palace loggia and the old fountains chain into one walk
- ·The free hot spring pools outside town need wheels; the famous Terme dei Papi runs its own shuttle arrangements from Rome some seasons
Taxis and driving
- ·Handy for the Tuscia sights around town (Villa Lante, Bomarzo's Monster Park); the centre itself is a ZTL
