We’ve found the “hop on/hop off” buses in the larger cities not only one of the best buys but an economical way to see the city.

 On a Friday night in little Viterbo, Italy, one November, we joined the passeggiata (evening stroll), roaming the closed-to-traffic narrow shopping streets. I bought wool undershirts in UPIM, a chain department store, and immediately slipped one on under my shirt and sweater as the night was frigid. Hot chocolate, thick as a liquid candy bar, came next, and we sat outside a small café watching the throngs of people at this exciting open-air “mall.” — DOROTHY DeVOTI, Sheffield, MA
