when the need to stay away from noisy cities makes you feel you need a break, a walk on the rustic forest road of this place is what you will need to recharge your batteries with positive energy. All the way you will have amazing views. Unfortunately, the grotto is not fully opened because of stairs that need restructuring.

What a find. You can completely submerse yourself in this place. It's quiet and peaceful, yet the site has wonderfully preserved features. One of the highlights of our trip.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,206 reviews
The Popes' Palace is the most important monument of the city of Viterbo and it has become a symbol . It was built to mark the transfer of the headquarters of the Papal Curia in 1257 by Pope Alexander IV . Raniero Gatti strongly wanted this building and also built a large audience hall, now known as the "Hall of the Conclave" for the fact of having hosted the first and longest conclave history. Another characteristic part of the Palace of the Popes is the Loggia of the blessings (better known as the Loggia of the Popes) built in 1267: it overlooked the Pope coming from the Hall of the Conclave. Recently it reopened the sumptuous hallGualterio. The Palace is included in the tour circuit of the monumental Polo Colle del Duomo: free of charge with the purchase of the ticket is the audioguide in five languages (Italian, English, French, German and Spanish) that will accompany you in the discovery of all the areas you can visit.

It is unbelievable to see the preservation of this building and the medieval area of san Pellegrino. The Popo left the Vatican only twice in history and one was to move to Viterbo for a while. This event made this town rich in stunning medieval architecture and not only. A must see.

Visiting Rome in the summer can be stressful, so we were very happy to have discovered this little gem. We woke up one morning and walked down the Pontile di Ostia, enjoying the sea and the locals.
8. Colosseum
Perhaps the best-preserved of the monuments of ancient Rome, this huge marble structure was built to hold more than 50,000 spectators to witness bloody contests of might and the slaughter of wild beasts.

Worth the walk, sitting in front of an Egyptian obelisk that’s thousands of years old looking up at a building that’s stood the tests of time is awe inspiring, the beauty and craftsmanship is outstanding and it’s one of the many many sites to visit in this amazing city. After visiting all the sites watch Angels and demons and the Italian job with Micheal Caine just to say you was there!
10. Vatican City
Arguably one of the finest Cathedrals in the entire world, St. Peter's is the spiritual center of the Vatican and the product of many of Italy's great Renaissance's architects, among them Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo.

If you are a Christian or not, must visit place Excellent architecture, well maintained, lots of historic spots and not easy to complete within in couple of hours if you wanted to go in detail. Be there early and get in easy into the church without much queue for security check If Pope blessings day or visit day be there little more early as there is more intensive checking Each groto or alter has separate stories to tell you so be there with persons who well aware of the church You have to agree that the Italian architecture is one of the most amazing in the world Rush after 10, may be difficult to spend more time each and every place
