Montalto Di Castro On the trail

Vulci park: guided accompaniment to the city, the necropolis or the museum

Montalto di Castro

The tomb doors at Vulci stay shut unless a guide opens them, which is the reason to book one. The park's own staff take you into the Francois Tomb, around the excavated city, or through the museum in the castle.

How the day goes

  1. Choose the route when you book: the city, the eastern necropolis, or the museum.
  2. In the city, the Great Temple and the house with the cryptoporticus underneath it.
  3. In the necropolis, down into the Francois Tomb, which does not open on its own.

The necropolis and the museum sit a short drive from the information point, so you want your own car to move between them.
