Via Francigena from Montefiascone to Rome

Arrive in of Montefiascone, perched on top of a hill overlooking the Bolsena lake. This Papel town has many medieval monuments and churches worth visiting.

The route from Montefiascone is along a plain that divides the Bolsena Lake from the Cimini Mountains. The outline of the hills is sometimes mild and allow wide sights on the whole territory. There are no residential areas along the route, but there are some old drinking fountains. Arrive in Viterbo and take some time to visit the lovely old town. Dinner on your own in one of the restaurants in town.

On the first part of today's itinerary, you will be exploring the Etruscan hollow roads then you will immerse in the typical Etruscan countryside. There are no villages along the way to Vetralla.

Dinner is included at the accommodation tonight.

Today the route is quite long. From Vetralla you walk along the volcano side, which crater was occupied by the Lake Vico in the past. Continue the itinerary across the Etruscan countryside until you reach the tiny village of Capranica. From here you walk down to a tuff gorge by following the stream. The track is very striking but sometimes it could be difficult because of the water flow. Finally arrive at you accommodation in Sutri where you can enjoy a nice dinner.

The first section of the route moves across fields till Monterosi till you reach the Monte Gelatowaterfalls, a park where you can rest and have a bath. Then you walk along a panoramic excavated street leading to Campagnano doors.

To shorten the day’s walk it is possible to pre-arrange a morning transfer to the picturesque village of Monterosi, from where you walk to Campagnano di Roma.

The day’s excursion is along the Roman countryside. The itinerary is quite flat with dirt roads or country trails, with just some hill in the final part. You will need to cross a stream and this could be more difficult just in particular conditions of water flow.

After breakfast, you set off for the last leg of your modern day 'pilgrimage' along the Via Francigena to Rome - the 'Eternal City'. You can choose to reach Rome by public transportation or walk your way to Rome. Part of the walk to the city is through the Insugherata park, a beautiful natural reserve a few steps away from the bustling city. As you approach the eternal city you can stop for a triumphant photograph at the Monte Mario Belvedere. From here you are able to see a glimpse of the dome of Saint Peter's, before descending towards the city to finally reach Piazza San Pietro, your ending point and that of many pilgrims throughout the centuries.

You will be immediately fascinated by the magnificent history, monuments and archaeological areas of Rome. Discover the city's amazing restaurants and traditional cuisine. If you want to maximise your time in Rome it is possible to skip most of today's walk by taking a local bus and train.

The trip and our services end after breakfast unless you have pre-book an extra in night in Rome or other destinations in Italy.
