Helpfulness
Not easy per se. That's the reminder. The buses are scarce to Bomarzo from Viterbo so better check the time-tables & please make sure to buy the return ticket as well.
If you are going there as a lone tourist like I did, the buses on the left photo are the buses connecting Viterbo to Bomarzo.
It is wise to reach Bomarzo by your own transport.

Miscellaneous: Bring you kids, your grannies, all your neighbours; because Parco dei Mostri is a park where you can have a picnic, a playground & some weird statues to while away your times here.
The Entrance Ticket is on the left. 8 Euros for an adult, expensive ?

Lacristina Says: My friend Giancarlo, who owns two apartments in the walled castle area, introduced me to these two charming Bomarzians, who overwhelmed me with their kindness. They insisted on giving me two bottles of their home-made wine because they were so grateful to have me as a guest!...
Lacristina Says: Charming scenes like this abound. The old, walled city and castle quite a small area) have been converted into apartments. The apartments are owned and lived in by locals, but also by people from the city (Rome and elsewhere) who come here for the weekend.
Lacristina Says: This narrow passageway is a street! You can stand in the middle and easily touch both walls. You see what I mean about streets too narrow for a fat horse? The Bomarzo walled castle area is a wonderful place to explore and try to get lost. Each corner brings a new delight.
Lacristina Says: Steps worn by hundreds of years of hundreds of feet. When I saw this scene it almost made me dizzy to imagine the years and years of history. When Americans see places like this, we know we've seen something special.
Lacristina Says: Everything about Bomarzo is off the beaten path! However, Bomarzo is very close to an exit on the A1. Just keep driving up toward the castle. Find this parking lot, next to Via del Castello (Castle Street), park, and begin exploring the castle area on foot. (The best map of...
coceng Says: ...Here's another photo of me, smiling...somewhere in the Monsters Park...or Park of the Mysteries....Look at that shirt !..
