Benvenuti a Bolsena, the town to which Lago di Bolsena owes its name. With just over four thousand inhabitants, it is a relatively small city. The old medieval center is located on the hill overlooking the water. The main city on the lake shines with its simplicity and modesty. Here you will not find a large shopping center with all the well-known chains, but one long street runs from east to west on which you will find countless small shops from local entrepreneurs who sell authentic products. At the end of that long street is the Rocca Monaldeschi, a beautiful castle from the fourteenth century. In the castle you will find the municipal museum, where you can discover the history of the lake and the city of Bolsena through archaeological finds. An entrance ticket also gives access to the castle's roof terrace, where you can enjoy beautiful views.

The Basilica Santa Cristina in Bolsena, is a Catholic basilica known for being the site of a Eucharistic miracle in 1263, which is immortalized in the fresco “Messa a Bolsena” by Raphael in the Vatican Palace. It is also the burial place of the martyr and saint Cristina of Bolsena. Consecrated by Pope Gregory VII in 1077, the church has a Renaissance facade and houses the Museo Territoriale del Lago di Bolsena. It offers beautiful views of the village and the lake, and is a major tourist attraction in the region.

The Bolsena Lake Viewpoint in San Lorenzo Nuovo offers a breathtaking panorama of the lake and surrounding landscapes. Lake Bolsena, the fifth largest lake in Italy and the largest lake of volcanic origin in Europe, is a beautiful sight to behold.
