The verdict

Parc Archéologique de Vulci takes the lead

Parc Archéologique de Vulci scores 8,1/10, ahead of Arcidosso (7,2). Major Etruscan site: 120 hectares of excavations, the Devil's Bridge 25 meters above the Fiora, a necropolis with frescoes and a castle-museum, for €5. Main drawback: archeotrekking requires advance booking.

Choose Arcidosso if…

  • Medieval village on Mount Amiata, first mentioned in 860, where you climb from alley to alley up to the Rocca overlooking the rooftops

Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/expérience (7,2). Walking through the alleys is free, and the climb up to the Rocca rewards you with a view over the rooftops; admission price unspecified.

Why these ratings?

ArcidossoNeighborhoods wandered at random, the Rocca, Sienese and giurisdavidica layers: the visit blends heritage and panorama.

Vulci Archaeological ParkDevil's Bridge, necropolis with frescoes, castle-museum and guided tours at 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.: a rare variety that alone justifies the detour.
