What to do around Rome

Rome, the capital of Italy, is a city full of history and wonders. However, many people don't know that there are numerous destinations and attractions to visit around Rome that are ideal for a day trip.

Here are some of our suggestions that will quickly take you from Rome to discover the beauties of Italy:

Civita di Bagnoregio

Known for being one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Civita di Bagnoregio is a charming medieval town that has remained unchanged over time. The village is also called "the dying city" because it sits on a tuff hill that, due to constant erosion, was once at risk of slowly disappearing.

Castelli Romani  

Castelli Romani refers to a group of towns located in the Alban Hills. Among these villages, Castel Gandolfo definitely stands out for its spectacular views of Lake Albano, and it's also known as the Pope's summer residence.

Gardens of Ninfa

Just over an hour from Rome are the Gardens of Ninfa, a large oasis created by the Caetani family, situated on the ruins of the medieval city of the same name. The name "Ninfa" comes from a Roman temple built near the current garden and dedicated to the deities of spring waters. This botanical garden spans eight hectares, includes about a thousand plants, and is crossed by the Ninfa river and several streams.

Lake Bracciano

A popular destination for many Romans for a day trip, Lake Bracciano is the sixth deepest lake in Italy. You can practice water sports like canoeing or sailing, or go scuba diving in its waters. For nature lovers, it's also possible to enjoy a nice bike ride on the Ciclovia dei Laghi, which connects Lake Bracciano to Lake Martignano, or along the Ciclovia dei Boschi.

Ostia Antica

If you're a fan of Italy's historical beauties, Ostia Antica is the perfect destination for you. This port city, founded in the 4th century BC, where over 100,000 Roman citizens once resided, is said to be just as impressive as the famous Pompeii. Here you can find wonderfully preserved remains of taverns, thermal baths, theaters, and warehouses.

Viterbo

Globally famous as "The City of Popes," Viterbo boasts Europe's largest medieval historic center and is the capital of the eponymous province in Northern Lazio, also known as Tuscia or Alto Lazio. Enclosed by walls and surrounded by modern neighborhoods, the historic center offers five museums and numerous points of interest such as Palazzo dei Priori, Viterbo Sotterranea, the Monumental Complex of Colle del Duomo, and many churches from different eras.
