How to reach Viterbo:

 

 

• Travelling by train:

 

Viterbo has two railway stations: Viterbo Porta Fiorentina and Viterbo Porta Romana. Viterbo Porta Romana is the closest to the conference venue, only some 5-minute walk to the Santa Maria in Gradi complex of the University of Tuscia. Porta Fiorentina is about 1.5 km far from the venue.

 

Viterbo stations are connected to the city of Rome by direct regional trains from Roma Ostiense (line FL3; main stops after Roma Ostiense: Roma Trastevere, Roma San Pietro, Valle Aurelia, Gemelli, Roma Monte Mario; at Roma Ostiense and Valle Aurelia stations interchange with the metro system). Your journey from Roma Ostiense to Viterbo will last approximately 2 hours.

 

Alternatively, you can take a fast regional train from Rome (various stations) to Orte (journey time ca. 40 minutes) and then a bus from Orte Scalo to Viterbo (journey time ca. 30 minutes).
