      Ideal for tours in the old town is the large free parking Docciola on the medieval "Porta e Fonti di Docciola". For campers with parking fees. The area is located on Viale dei Filosofi in the north of the center. It is about 500 meters to the Acropolis. Wide stairways lead up the hill to Piazza XX Settembre.
      Another free car park is located in Piazzale ex Stazione Ferroviaria.

        Lovely town, it is also worth a tour of the city wall with fantastic views of the hills.
