The verdict
Parc Archéologique de Vulci takes the lead
Parc Archéologique de Vulci scores 8,1/10, ahead of Palais des papes de Viterbo (6,8). 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 Palais des papes de Viterbo if…
- à Viterbe, le palais des papes se distingue par sa loggia des Bénédictions et sa salle du conclave, où se tint le plus long conclave de l'histoire
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/expérience (6,4). Ni prix ni durée de visite ne sont précisés : l'intérêt des deux espaces décrits ne peut être mis en balance avec un coût.
