Vico del Gargano is in the Gargano National Park and charms with its original traditions and magnificent seashore.
Located in the heart of the Gargano National Park, about 6 km (3.5 miles) away from the sea and 10 km (6 mi) away from the Umbra Forest, Vico is one of Italy's Most Beautiful Towns.
 
The town centre is dominated by a castle and by the massive dome of the Colleggiata dell'Assunta. This ancient district, known as the Rione Civita, is a triumph of stone with its chimneys, archways, capitals, stairways, and underground chambers carved out of the rock. Wander through the narrow twisting alleys, explore the medieval quarters of Terra and Casale, and let the Palazzo della Bella enchant you with its refined silhouette. If you're with the one you love, make sure to visit the Vicolo del Bacio (Kiss Alley).
 
Outside the town, the wonders continue with the Necropolis, an important archaeological site on the Mount Tabor plateau. The Umbra Forest, an immense spread of oak, beech and yew trees and typical arbutus (fruit-bearing shrubs), is ideal for outdoor activities. You'll find riding centres, trekking paths and a thick pine grove that leads down to the wonderful seashore between San Menaio and Calenelle.
 
Don’t miss the evocative Festa di San Valentino (Saint Valentine Festival), held to celebrate the town’s patron saint and Protector of citrus groves and lovers. During the festivities, a traditional procession passes through the streets of Vico, accompanying a statue of the Saint decorated with oranges and their flowers.
