Perfect for art and history lovers seeking an exclusive escape from Rome
Escape the bustle of Rome and uncover the refined beauty of northern Lazio with a private 10-hour tour to Caprarola and Viterbo, two jewels of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages.
Your journey begins with private pick-up from your accommodation in Rome by a comfortable air-conditioned van and your professional driver. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through the rolling hills of the Tuscia region, once home to noble families and papal courts.
Your first stop is Caprarola, dominated by the magnificent Palazzo Farnese, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture designed by Vignola. With your private licensed guide, explore its grand spiral staircase, frescoed halls, and beautifully landscaped gardens that once hosted cardinals and princes of one of Italy’s most powerful families.
After a relaxing lunch break (time at leisure in a local trattoria), continue to Viterbo, known as the “City of Popes.” Wander through its well-preserved medieval center and visit the impressive Palazzo dei Papi, the 13th-century residence where several papal conclaves were held. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the intrigues, art, and architecture that shaped this unique city.
At the end of your visit, your driver will take you comfortably back to your accommodation in Rome.
