Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Italy and Malta ↗The region's headline sights run on timed tickets that sell out: book the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, the Uffizi, the Last Supper and Malta's Hypogeum before you fix train and hotel dates.
  • Italy and Malta ↗Budget for per-night city taxes in Italy (up to about €10 a person in Rome), Malta's per-night environmental contribution, and Venice's day-visitor fee on peak days; none are included in most online room prices.
  • Italy ↗Italy is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
  • Italy ↗Historic centres are ZTL limited-traffic zones: cameras fine any unauthorised car that enters, often months later through the hire company. Park outside and walk in.
  • Italy ↗Regional train tickets bought on paper must be validated in the machine on the platform before boarding; digital tickets carry a time and need no stamping.
  • Italy ↗Venice charges day-visitors an access fee on selected peak days; check the city's official site if you are not sleeping there.

Fabrica di Roma is a small tuff-built town in the province of Viterbo, about 26 km from Viterbo and roughly 300 m above sea level, with a medieval castle core and the Roman site of Falerii Novi a short drive away. Most travellers see it in half a day; it works best as a quiet base for the Faliscan countryside between Rome and Viterbo.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

The historic centre is small enough to cover on foot in about two hours. For Falerii Novi and the surrounding hill towns you need a car or the limited local bus service; check times on the town website before you rely on it.

Watch out

Safety

A quiet, low-crime small town; the real risks are narrow unlit lanes at night, summer heat on the Falerii Novi site, and driving the provincial roads after dark.
  • Public transport is thin: buses to Falerii Novi and neighbouring towns run a few times a day at best.
  • Many churches and the castle are opened only for services, events or by appointment; do not assume daytime access.
  • August empties the town of some shops and restaurants; check opening before you plan a meal.
  • Village lanes are steep and cobbled; wear shoes with grip.
