Day Trip from Civitavecchia

Looking for a day trip outside of Rome’s walls? Want to sample wine, but don’t have the time to travel to Tuscany?

This full-day excursion is the perfect alternative for those arriving to Rome’s sea port and prefer to explore outside the capital city. As always with Personalized Italy, this touring experience is customized to fit the desires of you and your travel companions.

Our trusted driver and private guide will scoop you up from the port of Civitavecchia and then it’s wheels up to explore Northern Lazio, for a different perspective of the region where Rome is located. This area is rich in history and culture, so the possibilities are endless for your personalized tour. Itineraries may include visits to any of the following places.

A little over an hour from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia is the hilltop village Montefiascone, famous for their wine and beautiful views of Lake Bolsena. The next stop in this underrated region is the breathtaking Civita di Bagnoreggio. With a year-round population of only about six to eight people, this picturesque place is considered a marvel. After you have sampled the local cuisine at a classic trattoria, you might make your way to Orvieto for an afternoon stroll. The Umbrian town located on the border between Lazio and Tuscany is the perfect example of quintessential Italy. It was built on top of a bluff which you can see from a distance as you approach. The centerpiece of Orvieto is the remarkable Duomo. Spend your time here visiting this stunning cathedral or take a stroll through town and enjoy a casual wine tasting.

Other alternatives to the itinerary include visiting the Monster Park in Bomarzo which is ideal for children and families. Or perhaps stroll through a Mannerist garden such as Villa Lante. Another option is the picturesque road of Viterbo where wine tastings can be arranged in advance.
