The dark stones of its alleyways warm under a golden light,and the city opens in a slow, secret embrace —reserved for those who know how to savor it without haste or noise.

Viterbo by night is never a loud spectacle:it’s a discreet caress,a whispered song between a loggia and a fountain.

If you want to feel part of the city — not just a spectator —here are the places where you can find the true nocturnal soul of Viterbo.
