Today this town is called Bolsena and the two places are connected by a beautiful route with several historic Etruscan and Roman sites along the way. This is a journey through forest and cultivated fields on volcanic hills. Lake Bolsena is certainly worth a visit and offers beautiful views. Also find cheap weekend breaks in Italy at Risskov.
