Pilgrim route ยท Tuscia
Montefiascone is a meaningful stop on the Via Francigena, the historic pilgrimage route toward Rome. The stage toward Viterbo links hilltop views, countryside and traces of older road landscapes.
The stage is part of the long pilgrimage approach to Rome and gives visitors a different view of Montefiascone: not only a hill town above Lake Bolsena, but also a place on one of Europe's historic walking routes.
