Fiuggi
Fiuggi is a spa town and hilltop medieval centre, best as a 1–2 night stop between Rome and Cassino or as a day-trip from Rome for the thermal waters.
Fiuggi sits in southern Lazio, about 80 km east of Rome. The town splits into the medieval hilltop village (Fiuggi Alta) and the lower 20th-century spa district (Fiuggi Terme). Most visitors come for the thermal waters, the golf course and the quiet hill atmosphere. One night is enough to soak and walk the old town; two nights if you want to play golf or hike the surrounding hills.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette

- Cheek kisses: Two kisses, right cheek first, among friends; follow their lead; avoid: Kissing strangers or in business settings
- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders and knees in churches; avoid: Beachwear, bare chests and flip-flops away from the beach
