Steam rising from natural hot pools In the hot water

Tuscia Terme thermal park

Viterbo

The water comes out of the ground here hot, and the whole day is built around not doing anything else with it. You get in, you get out, you eat, you get back in.

Before you go. Closed on Wednesdays.

How the day goes

  1. Arrive when you like: there is no start time to make and nothing to book on the day.
  2. Into the water, then the slow business of finding the pool you want to stay in.
  3. Lunch, and back in for the afternoon — the cold months are when this park is at its best.
  4. Drive back to Rome loose-limbed, with nothing left to organise for the evening.

It is a day of doing nothing, on purpose. If you want hot water with architecture around it, the monumental pool at Terme dei Papi is in the same town.

Where it is
