How to get from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia by
train, public transportation
.
.
There aren’t any trains from Fiumicino Airport (Fiumicino) to Civitavecchia, and neither from Ciampino Airport to Civitavecchia. Therefore, you must make your way from Fiumicino Airport (via Leonardo Express) or from Ciampino Airport (via local bus service) to Rome.
- Once you arrive at Rome Fiumicino Airport, follow the signs to the train station for Leonardo Express which runs every 30 minutes between FCO Airport and Termini Station. The station is located within the airport complex.
. - Board the Leonardo Express train, which operates between Rome Airport and Rome Termini Station. Once you arrive at Rome Termini Station, look for the platform where the regional trains to Civitavecchia depart. The platform information can be found on the display boards or by asking station staff.
. - Take a local train bound for Civitavecchia. The journey from Rome Termini to Civitavecchia takes around 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, and there are multiple trains throughout the day.
. - Upon reaching Civitavecchia, exit the train station, and you will be in the center of the town.
. - Walk to the Cruise Port: From the train station, follow the signs or ask locals for directions to the cruise port. The distance is approximately 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) and takes around 15-20 minutes on foot.
. - Taking the Bus to Cruise Port: If you prefer not to walk or have heavy luggage, there is a bus service available. Look for the bus stop near the train station or inquire with the station staff. Buses may either be port shuttle buses, or local buses that run every 20 minutes and take you directly to the cruise port main gate at Largo della Pace. Bus tickets can be purchased at the newsstand or at the bar inside the train station in Civitavecchia. Once you reach the Largo della Pace service area outside the port, look for “Shuttle Buses” that go from ship to ship to pick up and drop off cruisers.
.
Be aware that the train station has multiple train tracks that are crossed via an underground accessway that requires negotiating multiple flights of stairs with your luggage in tow. There are no lifts or escalators. Evaluate your personal physical ability and stamina for ascending and descending flights of stairs with your luggage. From there, you can either walk to the cruise port’s main gate, or use a local bus.
.
Relying on public transportation can take hours, and it’s a very unpredictable way to get from Rome’s Airports to the Cruise Port due to also frequent public transportation and train strikes in Italy hat left many cruisers stranded. Allow lots of extra time for unexpected delays and travel issues along the way.
It’s worth noting that train schedules may vary, so it’s advisable to check the most up-to-date information before your trip. Additionally, make sure to keep an eye on your belongings and be aware of your surroundings while traveling.
Taking a Taxi from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia
Taxis are often available at Rome Airport, and you can find them at designated taxi ranks outside the terminal buildings by the curbside.
Most Rome or Fiumicino Taxis can only take you as far as the main port gate, after which, you have to make your own way through the huge port to your ship using port shuttle buses. Most Rome or Fiumicino Taxis are small economy-size vehicles that are not suitable for parties of more than 2-3 with luggage.
Taxis are not always available at the Airport as sometimes even Taxis go on strike, or are in high demand in Rome on rainy days or on days of public transportation strikes when folks who would otherwise use buses and metros rely on Taxis to get around Rome. It’s not uncommon to find long hours-long lines at the airport to find a taxi. When you have a ship to catch taxis may not be the most reliable option to get from Rome’s Airports to Civitavecchia.

TIPS for booking a Transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia
Book your Transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia in advance
Here are some helpful tips to avoid costly mistakes when booking your Civitavecchia Transfers from Rome Airport.
Most cruise ships sail during the peak travel season which is already heavy with land travelers flying into Italy. On days that are already busy with land travelers further impacted by large cruise ships in Civitavecchia, availability for Port transfers from Rome Airports is reduced.
To avoid having to scramble to find a transfer from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia (or from Ciampino Airport to Civitavecchia), be sure to book your port transfer in advance.
How far in advance should you book a transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia?
Among the many things you didn’t know about booking Civitavecchia Transfers is that it is recommended to book your Civitavecchia transfers once you have booked your cruise and your airline tickets. Preferably, book your transfer from Rome Airport to the Cruise Port at least 1-3 months in advance, or even earlier if possible.
Waiting until the last minute to book a transfer may leave you unable to find availability for a port transfer on your preferred date or time.
Book your transfer from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia correctly
Always double-check your reservation to make sure all the details in your booking are accurate.
Some of the most common mistakes cruisers make when booking transfers from Rome Airport to Civitavecchia are booking with the wrong date, incorrect Flight Number, incorrect number of passengers (such as not including children as passengers), and incorrect number of luggage pieces which is very important in order to be provided with a proper size vehicle for their passenger and luggage needs.
Always include the name of your ship and not only the name of the cruise line. Quite often a cruise line may have multiple ships docking at the same time at Civitavecchia Port, and if you don’t specify the ship name it can create confusion and you risk being taken to the wrong ship.
.
Include all your luggage when booking Civitavecchia Transfers
When booking Civitavecchia transfers, providing an accurate luggage amount is very important.
.
.
If your luggage amount exceeds the vehicle capacity for your number of passengers, you may either require a vehicle size upgrade or may need to reserve a 2nd vehicle if your luggage exceeds your vehicle luggage capacity.
By not informing your transfer provider of your accurate amount of luggage, you risk undue delays and uncertainties if your luggage exceeds the vehicle’s luggage capacity making it impossible to proceed with your transfer as planned.
.
Cruising with children?
Include them in your Civitavecchia transfer bookings
If you are cruising and traveling with children, please be sure to include the children as passengers so you will be provided with a suitable size vehicle that can accommodate the total number of passengers in your party. Children are required by law to be secured in their own passenger seats.
If you are traveling with small children that require a child seat or booster seat to be provided for you, be sure to request child safety seats in advance in your reservation and also provide the Age and Weight of each child that requires a child safety seat.
.
Bring your Civitavecchia Transfers Vouchers with you
Your Civitavecchia Transfer Reservation Confirmation Vouchers include very important information such as your reservation details, the Meeting Point at Rome’s Airport, and the emergency phone number of your transfer provider.
Be sure to also double-check your Confirmation Voucher before your trip to ensure that all details in your reservation are up to date and there are no changes in your flight number, flight arrival time, your amount of luggage, or the number of passengers in your party.
.
If possible do NOT fly into Italy on the same day as your cruise departure
We lost count of how many cruisers who flew into Rome’s airport the same day as their ship departure, ended up missing their cruise or cruising without their luggage. It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen and it ruined many cruises for hundreds of folks.
.
Can you miss your ship in Civitavecchia
if you fly into Rome on the same day your ship departs?
In short, YES.
Many cruisers missed their ship because they experienced flight delays, missed connections, or flight cancellations.
Those who missed their ship either had to find a way to meet their ship in a subsequent port, or give up on the cruise entirely and head back home. Always contact your cruise line or travel agent for assistance with making other plans. Carrying travelers insurance can help you recuperate losses as a result of missing your ship due to flight issues.
Many cruisers also had to leave for their cruise without their luggage because their luggage was lost. As a result, they had to choose between missing their cruise or going on their cruise without their luggage. For this reason, it’s important to bring your most important items such as medicine and toiletries, as well as changes of clothes in your carry-on cases.
If possible, do NOT book your flight arriving on the same day as your ship departure. Arriving 1 or 2 days before your ship departure date will save you the risk of missing your cruise or going on your cruise without your luggage, and also allow you some much-needed time to rest after a long journey, recover from jet lag, and get accustomed to time zone differences.

If you are planning to visit Rome in 2022, be sure to make this your most memorable vacation and enjoy the Eternal City in its true essence! After two years of travel disrupted by the pandemic, 2022 is seeing travelers returning to Rome making this probably the last occasion to visit the most beautiful city in the world without the “crowds”.
What will traveling to Rome in 2022 mean for you? For starters, some covid safety measures are still in place. Some travelers will still try to avoid crowded attractions and public transportation while seeking more open spaces, less crowded places, and safer, more private modes of transportation.
Insider Tips on visiting Rome during Covid-19 in 2022
COVID SAFETY MEASURES AND REGULATIONS IN ROME IN 2022
Green Pass / Vaccine Card Requirements in Rome
Until further notice from the Italian government on March 31, 2022, Super Green Pass / Vaccine Cards are required to access hotels, Museums, Churches, Archeological sites, restaurants and cafes, shops, and public transportations. As travelers to Italy are required to show proof of vaccination, these regulations should not impede them from accessing these public spaces.
During this “Green Pass/Vaccine Card” phase, you should expect longer lines to access Monumen, Museums, and important Churches, so have your Vaccine Card and ID handy, as many might also ask for your ID to validate the owner of the Vaccine Pass.
The current Green Pass/ Vaccine Card requirements to access public venues are currently in effect until March 31 when new information and updates might be made available regarding Covid safety requirements. We recommend following official government websites for up-to-date information for travelers to Italy:
- Italy Ministry of Health – Covid-19, travelers
- US Embassy & Consulates in Italy Covid-19 Information
- US Department of State – Travel Advisory
- Italia – Covid 19

Face mask mandates have always been mandatory indoors, on all transportation, as well as outdoor monuments cultural events. Until March 31, Italy the use of FFP2 or KN95 masks is mandatory indoors and on all transportation.
TRAVEL TIPS FOR VISITING ROME IN 2022
Alternatives to using Public Transporation in Rome
If you are uneasy about taking buses, trains, and metros that can become crowded, you have alternative options of using Uber to get around Rome or reserve private driver services for mid and long-distance transfers, as well as for the day (such as Rome city tours by car if you wish to maximize your sightseeing opportunities in Rome without extensive walking or using public transport).
Visit top attractions in Rome when they are least crowded
If you are uneasy about visiting crowded attractions such as the Colosseum, Vatican, Pantheon, or Trevi Fountain, try visiting them when they are least crowded.
Book your Colosseum ticket time slot first thing in the morning.
Visit the Vatican Museums either first thing in the morning or after 1 PM when the morning bus tours, group tours, and visitors have left for lunch.
Visit Saint Peter’s Basilica first thing in the morning when it opens to avoid the long security and vaccine card check lines
Visit Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps early in the morning (before 10 AM) when there are the least amount of visitors at these popular squares.
Visit the Pantheon early in the morning (before 10 AM).
Also take the opportunity to visit other famous and beautiful squares with beautiful fountains such as Piazza Navona and its Fountain of the Four Rivers, Piazza del Popolo with its Fountain of the Lions, and Piazza Barberini with the Triton Fountain.
While visiting these beautiful fountains, don’t miss the opportunity to taste the best Caffè or Cappuccino in Rome, at Sant’Eustacchio Cafè or Tazza d’Oro near the Pantheon. While at the Pantheon, don’t miss one of the best gelateria (ice cream shops) in Rome: Cremeria Monteforte. You can’t miss it, it’s located on the side of the Pantheon where the taxi rank is.
Substitute Rome’s crowded attractions with these amazing places
If you have already visited the Vatican Museums, Saint Peter’s Basilica, or the Colosseum, and prefer to avoid crowded attractions, the good news is that there is still so much to see and do in Rome (and around Rome) while avoiding crowds.
You may substitute the Colosseum with the nearby Roman Forum or Palatine Hill (they are included in the same tickets), or visit the imperial Baths of Caracalla that is located a short distance from Circus Maximus.
The last of our insider tips on visiting Rome during Covid-19 in 2022 is visiting off-the-beaten path churches and museums that are quite unique but overlooked by the average tourist. Rome hosts more than 900 Churches and each of them is an incredible masterpiece of history, art, and culture. We encourage you to visit some of the lesser-known churches that hold underground secrets of ancient Rome:
* Basilica di Santa Sabina on the Aventine Hill, a 5th century Roman Basilica, often described as the best-preserved Paleochristian Basilica in Rome. The Basilica is usually open from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm and from 3:30 pm to 6 pm.
* Basilica di San Paolo Fuori le Mura (Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls), the second-largest Basilica in Roma, incredibly peaceful, built on the tomb of Saint Paul.
* San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains), one of the oldest churches in Rome, was built to preserve the precious relic of Saint Peter’s chains (still preserved under the altar). The most important artwork in this church is Michelangelo’s Monument built for Pope Julius II.
* Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, the only Gothic interior designed Church in Rome. This Church contains Michelangelo’s statue of the Risen Christ as well as the tomb of Italy’s Saint Patron, St. Catherine of Siena. You may visit this church after you visit the Pantheon as it’s located right behind it.
* Underneath the beautiful Basilica of San Clemente (several blocks behind the Colosseum) are two layers of ancient history that you can explore: a 1st century AD ancient Roman home that was converted into a covert place of worship by early Christians when Christianity was illegal in ancient Rome, and a 4th century AD early basilica that was later destroyed in the Medieval era and the current new basilica built on top of it.
Rome also has a “secret” Museum hidden in the Ancient Aurelian Walls. “Museo delle Mura” is dedicated to the Aurelian Walls, the fortification by Emperor Aurelius, that surrounded the Ancient city of Rome. This museum is located inside “Porta San Sebastiano”, one of the Ancient City Gates: you will have the unique chance to walk through the Ancient Wall and have a view of Rome from the top of the wall. (The Museum is open 9 am to 2 pm, last access is at 1:30 pm. It is closed on Mondays )
You may also venture to the outskirts of Rome and visit the Christian Catacombs such as the Catacombs of St Callixtus and the Catacombs of Saint Sebastian. The Catacombs admission tickets include a small group guided visit through the underground labyrinth.
While in that area, enjoy a stroll along the peaceful Ancient Appian Way, the “Queen of all the roads“, surrounded by ancient monuments, mausoleums, and villas. Don’t miss a stop by the Domine Quo Vadis Church, built on the spot where Saint Peter saw a vision of Christ.
According to the ancient tradition, this is the spot where Saint Peter met a vision of Christ, while he was leaving Rome, trying to escape from his martyrdom. Christ asked “Domine, Quo Vadis?” (Lord, where are you going?). After this vision, Peter overcame the fear of his martyrdom and returned to Rome to face it.
If you’ve never been to Ostia Antica, you should consider dedicating a half-day to visiting this ancient Roman city that rivals Pompeii. Our sister company Stefano Rome Tours offers a half-day excursion from Rome to Ostia Antica where you can enjoy 2 hours of compelling exploration of this remarkable site.
During your stay in Rome, don’t miss a chance to taste the real Roman cuisine in one of the historical “trattoria”: Sora Lella on the Tiber Island. They have tables available indoors and outdoor, and reservation is always needed. This local Trattoria is closed on Sundays.
Outdoor dining is a uniquely charming experience in Rome. Many restaurants and cafes in the historic center have outdoor tables where you may sit, enjoy your meal, and take in the wondrous atmosphere of the Eternal City. If you are visiting in the winter or in the should seasons, don’t worry. Many restaurants have their outdoor tables semi-enclosed with heat lamps for a cozy dining experience even in the colder months.
If you wish to experience as much of Rome as possible easily and comfortably, we invite you to browse through our Rome City tours by car and Day Tours from Rome. We can even customize a Rome tour for you to include your favorite locations.
Rome tours by car are most beneficial when you are short on time but with a long list of must-see places, and when you wish to venture into the outskirts of Rome where public transportation is limited or very time-consuming. All our tours are private just for your and your party, touring in your private deluxe Mercedes vehicle with your personal English-speaking Driver at your service. Experiencing Rome doesn’t get easier than that!

The easiest way to get from Rome to Positano on Amalfi Coast
Buongiorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for private transfers in Italy, Tours in Italy, and Italy Shore Excursions. For more than 18 years we’ve been providing long-range transfer services between Rome and many of Italy’s top locations for an easy, convenient, and hassle-free way to get around Italy.
For those who may not be familiar, Amalfi Coast is a stretch of coastline sound of the Sorrentine Peninsula overlooking the Gulf of Salerno and the Tyrrhenian sea. Amalfi Coast is named after its principal town of Amalfi. The Amalfi Coast has also been deemed a superb example of a Mediterranean landscape of outstanding cultural value by UNESCO that places it on the World Heritage List.
.
.
Although Amalfi Coast is home to 13 cities, the most popular cities that most travelers stay for a slice of this Italian paradise are Positano, Ravello, Amalfi, Maiori, Minori, and Praiano. Anywhere you wish to stay, you will be amazed by the mountains that seem to plunge into the sea in a nail-biting vertical vista of precipitous cliffs, near-vertical dwellings, and verdant woodland.
Getting to and from the Amalfi Coast is down either by boats and ferries or by car or bus. The main transportation hubs for the Amalfi Coast are Naples, Sorrento, and Salerno. This would mean that if you are staying in Rome and relying on public transportation, you would need to take multiple trains, buses, or ferries to arrive at your destination on Amalfi Coast. As you can see, getting from Rome to Amalfi Coast can be time-consuming, confusing, and exhausting especially if you are traveling with children or lots of luggage).

5 Ways: Minimize your need for Public Transportation in Rome
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs Travel blog. We are Rome’s leading company for Private Airport and Civitavecchia Transfers, and Rome Tours, and Civitavecchia Shore Excursions.
For more than 18 years we have provided safe Rome Tours and transfers as a convenient, comfortable, and luxurious alternative to Rome taxis and public transportation in Rome (buses, metros, and trams).
We understand there are plenty of occasions when visitors stay in Rome for an extended period and wish to enjoy Rome leisurely on their own. With some advance planning and organizing, you can enjoy Rome without heavily relying on public transportation to get around.
In this article, you will discover some of the pitfalls of relying on public transportation in Rome (some notable things for you to look out for), and 5 ways to minimize your need for public transportation in Rome.
Some of the pitfalls of relying on public transportation in Rome
While public transportation in Rome is useful and handy, it also comes with certain disadvantages that many travelers prefer to avoid for the reasons mentioned below, and other less important reasons not mentioned.
- Public transportation in Rome can use some improvements to reduce unpredictably long wait times for buses, and minimize the crowds that pack into the buses and metros like sardines. Tourists share public transportation with commuting locals as well, adding pressure on the already slow system.
- Buses and metros largely don’t have Air Conditioning which can make them hot and stuffy during the hot summer months. This can be quite uncomfortable when you are already hot from spending time outdoors. Although new buses are being introduced in Rome, cold air conditioned interior on local buses is not guaranteed, and in most cases cannot be expected in the near future.
- Packed buses and metros tend to be common during peak tourist season (which also coincides with the hottest summer months of the year) make it also quite uncomfortable and stressful for folks suffering from claustrophobia, or those who generally don’t like being in tight, hot and crowded spaces.
- During the cold and flu season, using crowded public transportation can also mean exposing yourself to viruses that can interfere with your vacation enjoyment. Families with young children also tend to worry more about using public transportation for legitimate safety reasons.
- On Sundays, national holidays, and in August public transportation slows down due to reduced demand by local commuters, making it even more difficult to utilize when there are fewer buses and metros in use.
- Rome, as with many large cosmopolitan cities, has the unfortunate problem of pickpockets that frequent buses and metros where tourists are largely unaware they are being pick-pocketed when crammed shoulder to shoulder with other passengers.
- Tourists who are unaware of how Rome public transportation works would need to spend time researching the metro lines, bus numbers and bus stops in the areas they plan to use prior to their trip for a better experience. Planning your routes in advance helps prevent getting lost or taking the wrong bus or metro which can also result in negative consequences if you booked non-refundable time-slot tickets for museums and monuments that you can lose if you arrive too late for your ticket time slot.
- Public transportation strikes can and does occur several times a year, and unfortunately most of those times happen during peak travel season that directly impacts travelers in Rome, as well as cruisers who travel between Rome and Civitavecchia pre cruise, post cruise, and on shore excursions.
Five ways to Minimize your need for Public Transportation in Rome
If you prefer to avoid public transportation in Rome for any of the above reasons or your own personal reasons, you have options available to minimize your need for public transportation in Rome.
Below you will also find the information useful for cruisers who are arriving in Rome from Civitavecchia after their cruise or will be departing from Rome to Civitavecchia to embark on their Mediterranean cruise. If you will not be cruising into Rome or out of Rome, you may skip through that portion of information.
1. Choose a hotel, B&B, or rental apartment in the historic center of Rome that’s within walkable distance to most attractions you want to visit
When selecting a hotel, B&B, or rental apartment in Rome, search for a location in the historic center of Rome within walking distance of major places of interest (Vatican, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon…)
You may also check the hotel or accommodation’s location on a map online before booking to view its location and ensure it’s suitable for you.
If you are not familiar with Rome and its neighborhoods, reconsider booking via a 3rd party vendor that does not reveal the address of the accommodation until after it’s booked. Some “walking distance” descriptions may give the impression of being close to a particular place of interest, but it could be a 5-minute walking distance or a 20-minute walking distance.
You can also establish if the accommodation is in a safe or noisy area such as close to pubs or nightclubs that can get rowdy at night, or busy squares with an active nightlife. Knowing in advance where in Rome you will be staying can make a significant difference in your enjoyment during your stay.
If you wish to focus mostly on a specific area of Rome, look for accommodation near that location.
For example: If you wish to enjoy the historic center that includes the Colosseum, Pantheon, and other ancient Roman monuments, focus your attention on a hotel near the Pantheon or Piazza Venezia so you will be centrally located in that particular area. Likewise, if you wish to enjoy the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain area look for accommodation in that vicinity.
Pay attention to descriptions such as “away from the hustle and bustle of Rome”, or “in the outskirts of Rome” as they may mean you will be far enough where your only means to reach Rome’s historic center is by taxi or public transportation regularly.
2. Plan your sightseeing by geographical areas to reduce your need for public transport to get from site to site
You can pre-plan your sightseeing in Rome by grouping certain places of interest that are closest together, and within walking distance of other places of interest.
Here are some examples to offer you some ideas.
The Vatican and Castel Sant’Angelo are in the same area and they can be enjoyed together on a single day. From there, a 20-30 minute walk along the Tiber River will take you into the heart of Trastevere. About a 20-minute walk across the Tiber River will take you to Piazza Navona or Campo dei’ Fiori.
The Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, Baths of Caracalla, Capitoline Museum, Trajan’s Market and Forum, Piazza Venezia with the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II are all in the same area within short walking distance of each other.
You can also enjoy your day exploring the main squares that are within walkable distance: Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and Campo dei’ Fiori. Certainly, it can take up your day visiting the squares on foot and it can be exhausting, but if you don’t mind the walk you also enjoy strolling your way through Rome.
3. Use a Rome Taxi or Uber to get around within Rome if too tired to walk too long
If you become too wearing after days of sightseeing to walk to your next place of interest, use the Uber app to dispatch a professional driver who can take you to your next destination at a price comparable to a taxi, but with the benefit of having a minivan for your family and friends of up to 6-8 people, knowing the price upfront and enjoying being driven in a luxurious vehicle by a sharp dressed chauffeur.
Taxis, on the other hand, charge by the meter and you would not know in advance the price you will pay (or if you will be charged the correct price). Taxis are white marked vehicles, mostly small economy type vehicles that can only accommodate 3 passengers, and can be found stationed at Taxi Ranks near many places of interest (Spanish Steps, Piazza Venezia, Pantheon). Taxis are an alternative to Uber when an Uber vehicle is not available.
4. Book a Private Transfer or use a Rome Taxi between Airport and Rome / Rome and Civitavecchia
Getting around on trains, buses, and /or metros with luggage on arrival or departure can seem like a lot of hassle, especially on crowded buses and metros with little or no space for luggage. Further, on public transportation strikes buses, metros and trams are not in operation.
While the Leonardo Express that connects FCO Airport to Termini Station is still in operation during transportation strikes, getting to and from Termini station can pose a challenge if your hotel accommodation is not reachable on foot.
Naturally, there are also much fewer taxis available during public transportation strikes, and it’s not unusual to find long lines at the Termini Station taxi rank without a taxi in sight. During peak travel months Uber drivers may also not be available as they often also provide Driver Services in Rome as well.
Unfortunately, there are no options like Leonardo Express between Rome and Ciampino Airport or between Rome and Civitavecchia, leaving many travelers and cruisers who planned to use public transportation to/from Ciampino Airport to Civitavecchia essentially stranded if their travel falls on days of public transportation strikes which can happen a few times a year.
If you haven’t planned to book a private transfer service to travel between Rome and Airport or Rome and Civitavecchia Cruise Port, and if you are just 1 to 3 passengers with minimal luggage you can opt to use a Rome Taxi.
READ: How the train ruined the Cruise for thousands of Civitavecchia Cruisers
* Taking a Rome Taxi from Airport to Rome, and from Rome to the Airport
At the airport, taxis are located at a designated taxi rank along the curbside. If you are just up to 3 persons (that can fit in a small economy size type vehicle with limited luggage), just take the first taxi in line.
Taxis have a flat rate between the Airports and the center of Rome (within the Aurelian Wall). Fixed rates don’t apply to accommodations outside the Aurelian Walls, and much higher meter rates can be expected. Remember that taxis also go on national strikes, and if you haven’t already booked a private transfer service you may need to rely on public transportation after all.
From Rome, you or your hotel concierge can call a taxi to have one dispatched for you to take you to Fiumicino Airport, Ciampino Airport, or Civitavecchia Cruise Port at fixed rates if you are picked up within the Aurelian Walls.
* Taking a Rome Taxi from Rome to Civitavecchia, or a Taxi from Civitavecchia to Rome:
If you take a Rome Taxi from Rome to Civitavecchia, please know that most Rome city taxis cannot enter the cruise port of Civitavecchia as special security clearance is required to access the cruise port.
Most Rome Taxis don’t have that clearance, and they drop off passengers at the main gate from where the passengers will need to either walk the long distance through the port to their ship, or use the port shuttle buses (either option is not very convenient at this point, especially for cruisers with a lot of luggage, have mobility issues, or traveling with small children).
From Civitavecchia Cruise Port, you can find official Civitavecchia Taxis (white large marked vans) at the port to take you to Rome, Fiumicino Airport, or Ciampino Airport.
Civitavecchia Taxis charge around 200 – 250 Euros between Civitavecchia and Rome or to the airports. They charge so much as they are limited to only providing taxi service from Civitavecchia and they cannot pick up passengers back from Rome or from the airports.
There are also only a few Civitavecchia taxis, therefore unless you disembark fast and early, you may not find a Taxi left available. This makes relying on a taxi to get you from Civitavecchia to Rome not very reliable and you may have no choice but to take the train to Rome. The train station in Civitavecchia requires extensive walking as it’s about a 20-minute walk from the Cruise Port Gate (where the port shuttle bus would drop you off).
From the Cruise Port Gate, you may also take an additional bus to the train station to avoid the long walking distance with your luggage. However, you would be facing similar issues as you would using general public transportation.
* Booking Private Driver Transfer Service from Airport to Rome, and from Rome to Airport
There’s probably no greater relief when stepping out of the airport terminal in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language than seeing your Name on a card held by a smiling driver waiting for you.
When you book a Private Driver Service, knowing you will arrive at your Rome hotel safely without worries gets your Italy vacation off to a great start. And at the end of your vacation, knowing you will arrive back at the airport safely on time for your departure flight is the perfect way to conclude your trip to Rome.
Booking private Rome airport transfers removes the stress and worries of not knowing how you will get to Rome from the airport, and how you will get from your hotel back to the airport on time for your flight, and you can budget your travel expenses knowing in advance what you will pay for your transfers.
* Booking Private Driver Transfer from Rome to Civitavecchia, and from Civitavecchia to Rome
From Rome to Civitavecchia booking a private transfer service is the most reliable way for Door to Door Service from your accommodation in Rome right to your cruise ship in Civitavecchia.
For example, our vehicles have the proper licensing and our drivers have the required security clearance to access the cruise port for convenient pick-up and drop-off right next to your cruise ship in Civitavecchia.
From Civitavecchia to Rome, booking a private Transfer Service can be almost half the price you would pay a Civitavecchia Taxi for a reliable and cost-effective option.
Overall for Airport and Civitavecchia Transfers a more reliable, predictable, and hassle-free option to consider is booking a private car service in advance and having this important part of your trip secured and hassle-free.
When you book a private transfer service such as Rome Airport Transfers or Civitavecchia Transfers, you know the prices in advance and have your driver meet you at the airport, at your cruise ship in Civitavecchia, or at your hotel accommodation in Rome. You can rest assured knowing that you will arrive at your destination in a safe, comfortable, and timely manner.
5. Book a Rome Tour by car and see more of Rome in 1 day than in 2-3 days DYI
If you’re short on time and wish to see as much as possible in Rome with as little hassle and stress as possible for that once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Rome, touring by car is an option to consider, especially if traveling with children, elderly family members, or have mobility issues that make it difficult to walk all day or travel on crowded public transportation.
Private Rome tours are not an inexpensive option, but it’s a more convenient, safe, and comfortable option that makes sightseeing in Rome a far more enjoyable experience. If you consider that you can see more of Rome in 1 day on a Rome tour by car than in 2-3 days on foot, that also saves you quite a lot on hotels, meals, and other expenses related to a longer stay in Rome.
Private Rome tours by car are also a great option if you haven’t had the time to plan and organize your Rome trip and don’t know where to begin. Many folks are busy with demanding careers and family obligations leaving them with very little time to properly research, learn, plan and organize their trip to Italy. Having the option to just choose your preferred Rome tour itinerary, book online, and go is truly a vacation saver!
When booking private tours of Rome, there’s no need for you to research in advance. Just choose your preferred Rome Tour (or tours) and book directly online.
We offer a variety of Rome tour itineraries to suit different tastes, interests, and mobility levels. Our website’s tour pages are highly informative and descriptive so you have the opportunity to learn about the sites featured in the tour even before your trip. Our original tour photos and videos make it possible for you to know in advance what to expect to see on our tours.
We also offer information and links to pre-purchase your Colosseum or Vatican Museums skip the line tickets, and we can also book private tour guides for private walking tours of the Vatican, Colosseum, Roman Forum, and more. We help make visiting Rome easy, fun, informative, and hassle-free: the perfect solution for busy people who just want to travel without all the required pre-travel homework.
We hope this travel blog helped you discover alternate options to relying on public transportation to get to and around Rome on your next Italy trip.

Why Book Rome Private Tours from Cruise Port
.
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for Rome Private Tours from Cruise Port, Day Tours from Rome, and Shore Excursions from Italy’s top cruise ports.
.
Hundreds of thousands of cruisers dock at the Cruise Port of Civitavecchia each year for the wonderful opportunity to explore Rome for a day.
.
Cruisers have options to visit Rome from Civitavecchia:
.
Bus tours organized by the cruise line or local bus tour companies
Trains and public transportation
Private Tours by Car with personal drivers
.
In this travel blog, we would like to share with you why booking private tours from Cruise Port of Civitavecchia will enhance your shore excursion experience, give you more time to visit more sites, while providing efficiency, comfort and convenience at affordable prices.

You will SEE and DO MORE of Rome in 1 DAY on private tours from the Cruise Port
than on buses or public transportation
.
ROME IN A DAY TOUR from Civitavecchia – RomeCabs
.
It’s a fact that when you book Rome private tours from the Cruise port to Rome, you will see a whole lot more by car than by bus or public transportation.
.
By car you reach Rome quicker and more efficiently, private driver service vehicles are specially licensed to access the historic center to get you to see and visit more MORE amazing places in Rome in LESS TIME!
As tour buses are restricted from accessing the historic center, cruisers on bus tours are limited to the number of sites they can see and visit… usually less than half than on private tours by car!
.

Why Book Rome Private Tours from Cruise Port – Tour Buses BANISHED from Rome City Center

.
Because taking trains and public transportation is so time consuming (usually around 2.5 – 3 hours to take shuttle bus from the cruise ships to the main cruise port, then bus or walk to the train station in Civitavecchia, wait for the train which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to Termini Station, then take additional buses or metros to your final destination attraction), you are greatly limited in terms of how much of Rome you can really see DIY.
PLUS, unfortunately you also take the risk of missing your ship if you miss your train or get lost (which has happened!).
.
Also unfortunate is to find a public transportation strike on the same day your ship docks at the port, and find yourself stuck on your ship for the day because the few Civitavecchia Taxis available are gone.

Why Book Rome Private Tours from Cruise Port
.
..
On Rome private tours you are conveniently picked up and dropped off right on the pier next to your ship for easy door to door service you can count on.
This makes your tour incredibly predictable knowing in advance when your tour will start and end, and not have to worry about buses and trains.
You simply meet your personal English speaking Driver who will be waiting for you on the pier next to your ship holding a sign with your name, and off you go to Rome!
From Rome, your driver will ensure you will depart from Rome at the required time to arrive back to your ship in time for your voyage to continue.
.
Private can even COST LESS than cruise ship bus tours
.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that private tours are too expensive or too extravagant!
.
Private Rome Tours are, in fact, often LESS EXPENSIVE than bus tours and generic shared group tours, and sometimes even not much more expensive per person than using trains, buses, metros and taxis (on a DIY visit to Rome).

Touring with like minded tour mates you get to know in advance is far more enjoyable than being stuck in a van full of strangers that you may not have anything in common with and not enjoy your tour.
.
Your driver will stop next to most attractions reduces excessive walking
.
.
Private tours can get you in where tour buses cannot access, and much quicker and efficient than relying on public transportation.
.
Because private driver vehicles have special license that permits them access into the restricted city center (buses are RESTRICTED from accessing the center, they can only stop around the outer parameters… quite far from most attractions) your driver can take you directly to the attraction you are visiting and drop you off as close as lawfully possible.
.
Private Tours are ideal for families with kids
.
Why Book Rome Private Tours from Cruise Port

International travel and cruising can be quite challenging for families with children…. So why not make your Rome tour the easiest and most carefree day of your cruise by booking a private tour that suits your family’s interests and needs, and have your personal English speaking Driver taking great care of you so you and your family will enjoy a fun filled day in Rome safely and comfortably.

On our tours, children have the opportunity to experience the wonders of Rome that they would only otherwise read about in history books or study in class.
.

.
ALSO READ: Is it Worth Paying More for a Private Tour from Rome Sea Port?

Touring by car is much less exhausting for children as excessive walking is minimized, and you are comfortably driven in a deluxe air conditioned vehicle from site to site.
Touring by car is ideal on very hot summer days when the temperature could reach 90’s, or inclement weather in spring, fall and winter when it can be cold and rainy.
.
Private tours are most suitable for cruisers who are elderly, have mobility issues, and wheelchair users
..
.
Rome private tours are also most suitable for cruisers who experience mobility issues or use wheelchairs to get around easier.
Because our tours are private, you may customize them to best accommodate abilities (such as skipping some sites that may be too challenging to visit, and substitute them with sites that are more suitable).
Because you are taken as close as lawfully possible to each location, you minimize excessive walking so you can enjoy more of Rome comfortably and effortlessly.
Unlike bus tours that require members to keep up with the group, or rushing on public transportation, on a private tour you enjoy Rome at YOUR own pace without being rushed or over exerted.
.
Private tours are flexible and customizable
.
Bus tours and shared shuttle tours have a fixed unchangeable itinerary with no possibility to change as you are obliged to follow a group.

15 Great Reasons to Visit Rome in the Winter – RomeCabs
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for Rome Tours and Transfer Services.
It’s no secret that the busiest travel season in Rome is between May and October when Rome sees most of its visitors by land and by cruise (via Civitavecchia Cruise Port).
The slowest travel months in Rome is mid November through mid March when Rome is also the coldest.
But don’t let the Mediterranean winters of Rome dissuade you from taking advantage of this travel season that has plenty of Great Reasons to Visit Rome in the Winter.

.
15 Great Reasons to Visit Rome in the Winter
.

1. Lower priced airfares, with less crowded planes and risks of flight delays
.
15 Great Reasons to Visit Rome in the Winter – RomeCabs
.
From our 20+ years experience providing transfers and tours from the Airport, some of the challenges of summer airline travel are passengers bumped from oversold flights, flight delays when some airports get backed up, delays in customs, and even issues with luggage getting lost or delayed.
Traveling to Italy during the slow season also makes for a more comfortable and easy flight to and from Italy.
.
2 . Lower priced hotels means you save money, extend your visit, or upgrade to better hotel options.
.
.
Since hotel prices vary depending on the season and holidays, you can find great bargains at hotels that can be quite pricey during the peak travel season.
With lower hotel prices, you can upgrade to a better hotel for a more luxurious stay in Rome, or use the savings to extend your trip or splurge on food, shopping or tours.
.
3. Less crowded, means a more enjoyable and relaxing experience visiting popular sites
.
15 Great Reasons to Visit Rome in the Winter – RomeCabs

During the summer months the historic center of Rome where most of the attractions are is pretty crowded.
In the winter, monuments, museums and squares like Vatican Museums, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, and St Peter’s Basilica see FEWER tourists, making them far more enjoyable to visit in the winter.
Sometimes you even feel like you have Rome to yourself in the winter!

How NOT to MISS YOUR SHIP in Civitavecchia
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for Civitavecchia Port Transfers and Rome Shore Excursions from Civitavecchia.
Over the 18+ plus years, we’ve witnessed many cruisers miss their ship from Civitavecchia for reasons beyond their control and they had NO options or alternatives.
Sure, cruisers are at risk of missing their ship if they rely completely on Public Transportation which can sometimes by not so reliable due to transportation strikes, slow schedules such as on Sundays or holidays, or simply missing the train going to Civitavecchia.
However, if they are in Rome, they still have options: taxis and private drivers can still help them get to the cruise ship quickly if they miss their train or there’s a public transportation strike they did not know about.
However, this is NOT a 100% guaranteed Plan B option because on days of public transportation strikes taxis and private drivers are in such high demand that it can be extremely difficult to find one available!
.
How NOT to MISS YOUR SHIP in Civitavecchia
.
Given that we have provided thousands of transfers from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia Port, the most frequent reason cruisers miss their ship is because they booked their international flights arriving in Italy (Fiumicino Airport) on the SAME DAY as their cruise departure from Civitavecchia and had the misfortune of arriving in Italy too late to make it to their ship on time.
The most common reasons many cruisers miss their ship are:
* Missed connection flights
* Flight delays for various reasons including weather and airplane malfunction
* Lost luggage
..
In case of lost luggage, many cruisers chose to depart on their cruise anyway without their luggage, and just purchase items on the ship or when their ship docked at different ports. For some folks, this was not possible as they had in their lost luggage important items such as medicine or personal items they could not do without on their cruise.
The costs of missing the cruise ship departure can include:
- Taking the train – if there is a train going to the next port of call your ship will dock at
- Book a private driver to drive you to your next port of call if there are no trains going to that location
- Book a same day flight to your ship’s next port of call if your ship departs from the Italian mainland and will dock on the island of Sicily or another country.
Even if the risk is just that less than 1% of cruisers who plan their international flight to arrive on the same day as their ship departs MISS their ship….
…do YOU want to be part of that small 1% who missed their ship in Civitavecchia?
.
.
The simple solution to AVOID these costly and stressful problems that can occur on flights arriving in Italy on the same day of the cruise departure is:
.
Book a flight to arrive at least 1 day before your ship departs from Civitavecchia.
‘..
.
By arriving in Italy at least the day before your cruise starts, you are not at risk of missing your ship departure if you miss your flight or your flight is delayed.
And if your luggage is lost you still have some time for your luggage to reach you in Rome. It is much easier and less expensive to purchase necessities in Rome than on the ship or at other ports of call that may not have good shopping options.
.
If you have no choice but to fly into Italy on the SAME day as your Cruise Ship Departure, here are some helpful tips:
- Book an early morning flight arrival to allow you some extra leeway in case you experience flight delays into Rome’s airport
- Book a flight with as few layovers as possible to reduce risks of missed connections and lost luggage
- Book your flight with a reputable airline with high on time arrival rates.
- Customize your luggage to make it easy for you to identify them, prevents other passengers from accidentally picking up your luggage in error.
- Make sure your airline tags your luggage for the correct destination, and keep the stub from your checked luggage with you.
- Prepare for the possibility of luggage by carrying with you in your carryon case your important essentials such as medicine, extra set of undergarments and clothing items so you can continue your cruise if your luggage is lost or delayed past your ship departure time.
- Book a PRIVATE TRANSFER from the Airport to Civitavecchia so you will be met by your private driver who can wait for you if you experience delays at the airport for a much swifter, reliable, and safe transportation from the airport directly to your ship inside the cruise port. When you don’t have a minute to lose, a Private Transfer is the best option to consider.
.
.
..
TIPS FOR TRANSFERS FROM CIVITAVECCHIA TO FIUMICINO AIRPORT:
Is your cruise ending in Civitavecchia?
.
.
If you are flying out of Italy on the same day your ship arrives back at Civitavecchia Port at the completion of your cruise, do not book your flight too early in the morning as you may risk missing your flight if you encounter any of the following unforeseen delays:
- If your ship docks late
- If disembarkation is slow
- If you encounter traffic or other unforeseen delays on the way to the airport.
To be safe, always allow PLENTY of extra time to accommodate any unforeseen delays on the way to the airport.
Usually flights booked to depart at the earliest 11 AM or later, are safe if you book a private driver service to take you to the airport.
If you are on a tight schedule to catch your ship or catch your flight, the most secure way is to book a private driver / Private Transfer Service to make your transfer as smooth as possible, make the most of your time, and have an experienced local to assist you if you experience any difficulties.
.
7 Reasons to Book Private Civitavecchia Transfers
.
By car with a professional and experienced driver, travel time between FCO/ Fiumicino Airport and Civitavecchia Port is only about 1 hour with pier-side pick-up and drop-off for optimal time-saving convenience.
.
.
.
By train and public transport, it can take hours and the duration of time can be unpredictable …If you are short on time or experience any unforeseen delays with your flight or cruise ship, you may risk arriving too late to your final destination.

What to Wear when visiting the Vatican?
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for Day Tours from Rome and Shore Excursions from Italy’s top cruise ports.
.
We offer many Day Tours and Shore Excursions to Rome that include a visit to the Vatican (Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St Peter’s Basilica).
Many of travelers in Rome are not aware that the Vatican enforces a modesty dress code when visiting St Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel – both significant and sacred places.
NOTE: The Vatican Museums do NOT have a dress code.
However, if you plan to ALSO visit the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica while you are also visiting the Museums, please be sure to arrive prepared.
.
So this leaves many travelers asking: What to wear when visiting the Vatican?
.
.
We included some important to know the information below, as well as some helpful tips to visit churches in Italy that require a modesty dress code – this is especially helpful during the summer months when travelers wear clothing that is not permissible.
.
What to wear when visiting the Vatican?
.
..
.
The basic rule to follow for men, women, and children when visiting the Vatican is:
Cover your shoulders
Cover your knees
.
.
What is NOT permissible to wear at St Peter’s Basilica and Sistine Chapel:
.
Tank Tops
Shorts
Miniskirts
Mini dresses
Beachwear that expose shoulders and knees
.
.
ALSO READ: 7 Can’t Be Missed Tours to and from Civitavecchia
.
What IS Permissible to wear at St Peter’s Basilica and Sistine Chapel:
Shirts and blouses that cover the shoulders
Longer shorts that cover the knees
Capris pants
Shirts and Dresses that cover the knees
.
.
.
What happens if you are wearing clothing that is NOT permissible?
If you are wearing clothing that is NOT permissible because your shoulders and knees are exposed, the guards at the entrance (especially at St Peter’s Basilica after your clear security and arrive at the basilica entrance) may NOT allow you to enter and you will need to leave.
You may return once your attire complies with the dress code.

.
.
TOO HOT to dress for church all day in the summer?
.
.Do you find it too hot to dress all day just for visiting a few churches while sightseeing in Italy?
You can prepare in advance and bring a few extra items with you in case your sightseeing takes you to a beautiful church that requires a modesty dress code
.
MEN and BOYS:
Convertible pants with a simple zipper can turn long pants into shorts. Simply zip back the bottom leg to your shorts to visit churches.
If you are planning to wear a Tank Top, bring a light T-shirt with you in your day bag that you can quickly put on over your Tank Top to visit churches.
.
WOMEN and GIRLS
Bring with you in your day bag some light summer scarves that can double as a shawl to cover your shoulders, and a sarong to cover your legs.
.
.
.
.
Summer evenings can be chilly in Italy, so having an extra T-Shirt and scarves to cover your shoulders can also keep you a bit warm so you can enjoy your day into the evening exploring the cities in Italy, and enjoy a nice dinner at an outside table (a MUST in Italy during the summer!)

7 Secret Italian Countryside Destinations near Rome
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs Travel Blog.
For more than 15 years we’ve taken tens of thousands of travelers vacationing in Rome on fun filled day trips and excursions to the amazing Roman countryside and beyond.
The Roman countryside area extends from Rome and beyond into the Lazio region that is filled with charming areas unique in their own ways culturally, historically and architecturally.

7 Secret Italian Countryside Destinations near Rome
.
.
Cerveteri – Banditaccia Etruscan Necropolis
.
.
.
.
Before there were Romans and the Roman Empire, there was another ancient civilization that preceded them: the Etruscans – an advanced pre-Roman civilization that dominated the central Italian peninsula that was called Etruria from around 9th century BC to 3rd Century BC when they were conquered by the growing Roman Republic.
Most of what we know about the Etruscans are what has been gathered from their cities of the dead: the Etruscan Necropoli.
.
.

.
.
Cerveteri was once a large important Etruscan city state, however, what remains today is their huge 1,000 acre necropolis that spans across the entire Etruscan civilization from around 9th century BC to 3rd century BC with thousands of burial sites.

Tarquinia – Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis
..
.
.
Tarquinia used to be another ancient Etruscan city state that carries the name of the famous Etruscan king Tarquinius Superbus.
Today Tarquinia is a phenomenal Medieval city with large historic buildings, and enough Medieval towers to earn it the nickname: The San Gimignano of Lazio (due to the many towers that resemble the famous San Gimignano in Tuscany).
.
/

.
.
The National Museum in Tarquinia is dedicated to Etruscan artifacts discovered inside the tombs of the nearby necropolis that is completely unlike the necropolis in Cerveteri.
Just outside the city is the Monterozzi Necropolis that boasts the most unique ancient underground tombs in the world!
.
.
Tomba delle Leonese – Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis, Tarquinia (with RomeCabs)
.
.
What makes these 6th century BC tombs spectacular is that many of them are painted with incredibly vibrant and detailed frescoes that depict various aspects of the lives of these enigmatic Etruscan as they celebrate, feast, dance, play musical instruments, hunt, fish, play sports, and more.
.
.
Tomb of the Jugglers- Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis in Tarquinia – with RomeCabs
.
.
The tombs rotate to about a dozen or so open to visitors, with a flight of stairs that take you underground to a metal door with a glass window for viewing. Press the button next to the door to turn on the light inside the tomb. Due to the fragility of the ancient frescoes, the tombs are sealed off and climate controlled so they can be preserved for as long as possible.

Tuscania
.
Tuscania (not to be confused with Tuscany) is a delightful ancient walled city whose origins dates back prior to the Etruscan civilization, and evolved and grown over the centuries into the Medieval and Renaissance era that blessed it with the architectural charm we can admire today.
.

Sutri
.
Sutri is another remarkable Medieval village that rests peacefully on a picturesque tuffa cliff.
Like Tuscania, Sutri’s roots also reach as far back as the Etruscan civilization when it was known as Sutrium. The name derives from an ancient legend that has it Sutri was founded by the pagan god Saturn – whose name the Etruscans pronounced “Sutrinas”, adding interest to this otherwise curious ancient legend.
.
.
.
.
Reminders of Sutri’s ancient is evident when you visit the Roman era elliptical amphitheater carved right into the Savorelli hill. Estimated to have been built between 2ne-1st Century BC, the amphitheater could seat over 9,000 spectators.
.

Calcata
.
Calcata is a delightful tiny hilltop medieval countryside village that overlooks a steep river valley and is surrounded by dense forests.
.
.
Calcata – Secret Italian Countryside Destinations near Rome
.
.
Following an earthquake in early 1900’s the village was abandoned in the 1930’s when the cliff upon which the village stands was considered unstable and at risk of collapsing. However, by the 1960’s the village began to be repopulated by hippies and artists who sought to escape the negative aspects of city life, and squatted the empty stone buildings to create a simpler and creative life for themselves.
.
.
Calcata – Secret Italian Countryside Destinations near Rome
.
.
Eventually additional geological surveys confirmed the solidity of the cliff rendering the village safe for human occupancy, and thus many of the squatters purchased their homes. Soon a small community of artists began to thrive into an eclectic village that New York Times referred to as “ the grooviest village in Italy, home to a wacky community of about 100 artists, bohemians, aging hippies and New Age types”.
Here you can expect to find local artisan shops, cozy cafes, small vegan restaurants, pubs, and bakeries.

Fumone
.
Fumone is a haunting medieval village strategically situated on top of a conical hill overlooking the rustic region of Ciociaria. The town’s unique vantage point has given it the important function of overseeing the territory in case of invasions and enemy attacks during the medieval ages. Smoke signals were sent to warn neighboring establishments of pending attacks. Rightfully, the name Fumone means “big smoke”. An ancient saying went: “When Fumone smokes, the region trembles”.
.
.
Fumone – Secret Italian Countryside Destinations near Rome
.
.
The tiny village of Fumone is dominated by Castello Fumone – a castle that is considered by locals to be haunted by ghostly presences due to its brutal history. This could possibly be one of the creepiest castles you can visit in Italy!
In 1295 Pope Boniface VIII imprisoned the previous Pope Celestine V who abdicated his papal throne out of fear that Celestine might reconsider and reclaim his papal position. Celestine was kept prisoner in a tiny cell inside the castle where he later died. When visiting the castle you can also see this very cell where one pope imprisoned another.
In the late 17th century the castle became property of the Longhi marquises whose descendants are still the current owners of the castle. The castle is also said to be haunted by a dark event that took place in the Longhi family in the 1800’s when the sole son died under mysterious circumstances when he was a small boy. The grieving mother had the boy embalmed and kept him in a glass coffin which you can see upon visiting the castle.

Bomarzo Monster Park
.
Near the town of Bomarzo tucked away in the heart of the Sacred Wood is a magnificent park filled with riveting yet sometimes grotesque sculptures that appear to blend into the woodsy surroundings, waiting to surprise you at each turn.
This unique Manieristic park was commissioned by Pier Francesco “Vicino” Orsini who was a great military leader and patron of the arts of the 16th century.
.
.
This goal of this shocking creation was not to represent the good in the world, but perhaps a result of his life’s unfortunate tragedies. Orsini was a brave general who fought in a horrible war during which his close friend was killed, and as soon as he returned home after years of being held as a war prisoner in Germany, his beloved wife passed away.
As you stroll through this mythical Monster Park you will come across many surprising moss covered stone creatures including an enormous monstrous head with its mouth wide open in a scream – large enough to enter and sit at the table placed inside the monster’s head – true to the inscription: all reason departs.
Not to be missed is the leaning house with tilted floors that will leave you feeling a bit off balance and perhaps even a little queasy – definitely not a house one could live in!

Alatri
.
Alatri is quite a unique mountain town also in the heart of rural Ciociaria region. Alatri flourished during the Medieval period, and it’s still a perfectly maintained medieval village that will impress you with with its beautiful architecture that line quiet streets that invite you for a stroll.
.
.
The town itself that has been in existence since 2nd millennium BC as an ancient Italic tribe of the Hernici and known as Aletrium. Notice how the modern names of so many Italian towns resemble their ancient names from more than 2,500 years ago!
Alatri is particularly fascinating for its jaw dropping megalithic fortification walls made up of large polygonal blocks of limestone perfectly jointed without use of cement or any binding materials. You can’t even pass a sheet of paper through the joints.
Centuries ago, it was believed that Cyclops built those walls as the daunting task was thought only giants could achieve.
You can see these well preserved megalithic polygonal walls, as well as two ancient entry doors (Porta Maggiore and Porta Minore) on top of the town which was originally the acropolis.
.
Alatri Polygonal Walls

.
The current cathedral was built on top of ancient pagan temples.
From the acropolis you can catch stunning views of the faraway Ernici mountains and the picturesque fertile valleys below.

Bracciano Orsini-Odescalchi Castle – Photo and Video Tour
Buon giorno, and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs travel blog.
Bracciano Castle (its official name is Orsini-Odescalchi Castle, named after the previous two main owners of the castle) is located in the historic town of Bracciano.
The castle looms over the pristine Lake Bracciano, which is one of the most popular destinations in the Roman countryside for visitors, cruisers, and locals alike.
Bracciano Castle is also offered on our Countryside Splendor Day Tour from Rome and Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia, as well as our popular Pre Cruise Countryside tour.

When you visit, you can see for yourself how a Medieval – Renaissance castle was built, how the rooms were divided, and how they kept these grandiose staterooms warm and lit.
For example, there are no corridors or doors that separate each room. Each room leads into the next room, as if you are walking through train cars.

There were no indoor bathrooms in the Medieval and Renaissance castles as there are in modern day homes.

It’s important to notice that the kitchen is located away from the main castle to keep it safe from potential kitchen fires (and avoid kitchen smells and smoke).

Your Countryside Splendor tour begins with your arrival in Bracciano, the medieval village overlooking the pristine volcanic lake by the same name (Bracciano Lake). The village is crowned by the imposing Renaissance era Orsini-Odescalchi Castle (commonly known as Bracciano Castle).
Bracciano Castle is one of the few castles in Italy that is perfectly preserved and open to the public for visits to explore the 2 levels of exquisite rooms that once belonged to kings, queens, popes, lords and ladies.

A traditional Italian lunch at a family owned restaurant in the Medieval clifftop borgo of Ceri is not to be missed.

It’s narrow medieval street that connects the main square with the world below is so narrow that only 1 vehicle can squeeze through at a time, their passage directed by stop lights placed at each end of the street.
..
.
.
Following lunch, you will begin your adventure exploring the ancient Etruscan city of the dead at the Banditaccia Etruscan Necropolis in Cerveteri.
Your visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site will take you on a journy through its acres of hundreds of actual tombs that date from 9th century BC to 3rd century BC (the duration of the pre-Roman Etruscan civilization before they were conquered by the Romans and absorbed into the Roman culture).

This shore excursion from Civitavecchia will take you on a journey to Tarquinia – a city that takes the ancient name of the Etruscan King, Tarquinius.
Here you will have the very unique opportunity to visit underground tombs unlike any other in the world because the tombs at the Monterozzi Necropolis are actually painted.
These colorful vivid ancient 4th century BC frescoes offer visitors an incredible look into the vibrant life of the Etruscans: how they looked, how they dressed, what they ate, how they celebrated, how they hunted and the music they played. Nowhere else in the world would you come face to face with the smiling faces of the ancient Etruscans so beautifully depicted in their painted tombs.
.
Tomb of the Leopards – Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis

A visit to the Etruscan Museum in Tarquinia also merits a visit as it houses the unspeakable treasures retrieved from the painted tombs.

From Tarquinia, a drive through the land of the the ancient Etruria will take you to the sleepy historic town of Tuscania (not to be confused with Tuscany).
.
Church of San Pietro in Tuscania
.
Tuscania was also an ancient Etruscan city state, however, today it boasts Medieval glories that can be seen in its imposing city walls, medieval towers, and Romanesque Churches of San Pietro, and Maria Maggiore that boast finely decorated facades with elaborate carvings, complex iconography and rose windows.

Tuscania’s beautiful Etruscan Valley

.
OSTIA ANTICA AND CERVETERI
.
.
.
For history buffs, Ostia Antica and Cerveteri Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia combines the best of Italy’s most significant ancient civilizations: the Etruscans and the Romans.
This tour will take you to the ancient Roman city of Ostia Antica, lunch in the Medieval hamlet of Ceri, and will conclude with an exploration of the ancient Etruscan necropolis of Cervereri (for Ceri and Cerveteri see the Countryside Splendor tour above).
Ostia Antica is a perfect example of what an Ancient Roman city was like. Unlike Pompeii that is extremely crowded and not actually Rome, Ostia Antica is much less crowded for a more enjoyable visit and you have an authentic experience of exploring an actual ancient Roman city.
.
Ostia Antica from Civitavecchia – RomeCabs

ROME IN 2 DAYS TOUR Day 1 Itinerary with RomeCabs
.
Your first day will begin in Ancient Rome with a visit to the Colosseum – the world’s most famous elliptical amphitheater that has inspired architects and engineers for millenia.
Just across from the Colosseum is the Roman Forum – from where the Roman empire was ruled. Located in a previously marshy valley between the Capitoline Hill and Palatine Hill, the Roman Forum served as the nucleus for political, religious, judicial and commercial affairs of the Roman Empire.
A drive to the outskirts of Rome will take you to a special ancient Roman road: The Ancient Appian Way / Via Appia, an early 4th century Roman road that was nicknamed “the queen of the long roads”, connecting Rome to other distant parts of the Italian peninsula.
Nearby you will stop to visit the Christian Catacombs. Catacombs are labyrinth of underground receptacles of the dead dating back to 2nd and 3rd century when Christianity was illegal. Intricate tunnels were hewn out of the local soft tuffa stone (like the ancient Etruscans did when they carved their own burial tombs in shapes of huts). Admission tickets purchased on site also includes a group guided tour in various languages.
After lunch in Rome at a local restaurant or trattoria of your choice, you will have a taste of La Dolce Vita with visits to the lively and most popular squares in Rome: The Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, and the Trevi Fountain.
.
Video Postcard from RomeCabs: ROMAN FORUM
.
The Spanish Steps is an elegant 18th century spacious outdoor stairway that unfurls to connect the square below to the French church of Trinita dei Monti and the Egyptian obelisk that once belonged to Pharaoh Ramses II.
Piazza Navona outlines the perimeters of the 1st century AD Roman sports stadium built by Emperor Diomitian called “Circus Agonalis” (competition arena). The ancient name evolved over time from Agone (games) to Navona.
Today the large oblong square well recognized by Bernini’s famous Fountain of the Four Rivers that’s topped with a tall obelisk. Two other fabulous fountains at each end of the square: Fountain of the Moor, and Fountain of Neptune. The square is lined with shops, restaurants and cafes with outdoor seatings, and entertainment is always to be found in the square.
Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome with a symphony of large marble sculptures of Oceanus on his triumphal chariot pulled by two seahorses jockeid by two Tritons immersed in gushing pools of water. Trevi Fountain also has a peculiar tradition made famous in movies: if you throw a coin in the fountain you will be assured of a return visit to Rome.
Your Day 1 of Rome in 2 Days will complete with a visit to one of the most well recognized ancient Roman monuments in the world: the Pantheon.
The Pantheon was a once a pagan temple dedicated to all gods, and after the fall of the Roman empire it was converted into a church in year 609 AD. Be sure to look up at the center of the immense coffered dome – you will see the “oculus” (“eye” in Latin) that serves as the only opening to illuminate the monument as its only natural source of light.
10 Unique Facts about the Pantheon you probably didn’t know

.
DAY 2 of Rome in 2 Days Tour – 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
.
.
.
Your Day 2 of your Rome in 2 Days Tour will start with a visit to Campo dei Fiori where every morning it’s transformed into a bustling market for a fun outdoor market experience where you can find anything from local fruits and vegetables to clothes and kitchen wares to tempt your palate and eyes.
A short drive in your private deluxe vehicle will take you to Aventine Hill, one of the Seven Hills upon which ancient Rome was built upon. Today Aventine Hill is a quiet charming upscale neighborhood away from the chaos of big city life.
Here you will enjoy an off the beaten path stroll through Giardino degli Aranci (The Orange Garden) that’s a lovely small grove of orange trees with a spectacular terrace with lovely view of Rome.
Nearby is the Piazza of the Knights of Malta with a very special door that you’re bound to notice often a line of folks waiting to peer through the keyhole like “peeping toms”. Get in line, because it’s worth the surprise you’ll find on the other end of the keyhole: an enchanting view of St Peter’s Basilica perfectly framed by manicured evergreens in the garden beyond the special door.
Your next destination will be St Paul Outside the Walls – the second largest basilica in Rome. Originally built in 4th century AD, it was destroyed by fire in late 1800’s and with thanks to generous donors the church was able to re rebuilt to its original glory.
Approaching the Vatican area, your next visit will be Castel Sant’Angelo – originally a 2nd century AD mausoleum built by Roman Emperor Hadrian that was later converted into a fortress for papal protections during dangerous times of war and sieges in Rome, and later a prison. The Sant’Angelo was named after Archangel Michael appeared above the mausoleum in 590 AD signaling the end of a terrible plague, and a statue dedicated to Saint Archangel Michael tops the castle.
After lunch, you will visit the world’s smallest country: Vatican City. Here you will have a couple of hours to enjoy the treasures displayed inside the vast Vatican Museums, gaze at the masterpieces by Michelangelo inside the sacred Sistine Chapel, and visit St Peter’s Basilica – the largest and most significant church in Christendom.

This marks the completion of your Rome in 2 Days Tour – a fabulous adventure through Rome’s historical locations to explore ancient places, discover hidden treasures, admire unique masterpieces, and contemplate the magnificence of a once powerful empire that has left behind so many of their archaeological and engineering accomplishments that have inspired and amazed the world for centuries.

If you are traveling in a group larger than 8 passengers, you would require 2 vehicles.
.
,
.
.
2. Vehicle Luggage Capacity
.
With the benefit of cruising and not having to carry your luggage from place to place, as well as various functions on the cruise ships, many cruisers travel with more luggage than they normally would on a land trip.
If you are traveling with extra luggage for an extensive cruise, inform your transfer company of all your large and small luggage so you will be provided a proper size vehicle (or 2 vehicles for larger groups with extra luggage).
If you are a party of 1-3 persons for a transfer priced for a car type vehicle if you are traveling with luggage that would exceed the capacity of a car trunk, be sure to inform your transfer provider as you may need to be upgraded to a larger vehicle such as a minivan.
Each van can also accommodate up to 6-7 check-in suitcases and up to 6-7small carry-on cases.
If your group expects to bring more luggage than the vehicle can accommodate, be sure to inform the company in case you may require 2 vehicles for all of the passengers and their luggage to travel comfortably and safely.
If you do not inform the company in advance of your extra luggage, it may result in extensive delays while a suitably sized vehicle or 2nd vehicle is made available for you and higher prices than you prepared for.
.
.
3. Travel Time to/from Civitavecchia by Car
* Travel Time from Rome to Civitavecchia is about 1.5 hours.
* Travel Time from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia is about 1 hour.
These are the estimated travel time by car, actual times may vary depending on local traffic and road conditions.
.
.
4. Pier / Shipside Pick up and Drop Off
.
Our Private Drivers can pick up and drop off passengers right on the pier next to their ship as they have security clearance to access all cruise ship piers.
This makes for a very convenient door-to-door service, especially when traveling with a lot of luggage or with children.
For pick-ups from Civitavecchia Cruise Port, please proceed to the area on the pier where all other drivers are waiting for their clients to disembark, and look for your driver holding a sign with your name in the reservation.
Do NOT take any buses or shuttles away from the pier or leave the port.
.
.
5. Cruising with young children?
If you are traveling with young children that are 8 years or younger, be sure to request a child seat or booster seat as they are required by law in Italy.
Children are required to be secured in their age-appropriate child seats inside moving vehicles. You may either bring your own child seats or request child seats to be provided by your transfer provider.
6. Recommended Pick up Times for Civitavecchia Transfers
.
Recommended pick up time from Rome hotel accommodation to Civitavecchia is 11 AM – 1 PM
Recommended pick-up time from Civitavecchia to Rome hotel is 8:00 -9:00 AM (when most cruisers are disembarked by).
.
7. Flying from Rome on the same day your cruise ends?
.
If you are flying out on the same day as your ship docks at the end of your cruise, don’t book your departure time too early in the morning.
Usually, approximately 11 AM is the earliest recommended time to book a flight in order to allow time in case your ship docks late, or you experience traffic delays on the way to the airport.

.
8. Flying into Rome’s airports on the same day your cruise departs?
If you are flying into Rome’s Fiumicino Airport on the same day your cruise ship departs, it is recommended to book a flight that arrived in Italy in the morning to allow you plenty of extra time to accommodate for any unforeseen flight delays, or missing or delayed luggage upon arrival.
It is not recommended to book a flight arriving at Rome’s airport too close to your ships’ departure time as it would be risky in case of any unforeseen delays.
A private transfer is the best option to get to your ship as quickly as possible and to have your driver monitor your flight for delays and wait for you if you have delays with luggage.

.
9. Privately Shared Civitavecchia Transfers – the best of both worlds!
.
Private Transfers are preferred as it provides cruisers complete control of their scheduled pick up, and allow for a predictable travel time and arrival time at your final destination.
Booking generic shuttle transfers are more economical but leave you without an exact pick-up time, and unknown duration of travel and arrival time due to the unknown number of additional stops the driver has to make to pick up other passengers.
Privately shared Civitavecchia Transfers offers you the best of both worlds: the convenience and benefits of a private transfer, but with the added savings of a shared transfer.
READ: Why Private Shared Port Transfers are better than Shuttle Services
You can create your own private group of fellow cruisers willing to share a transfer together, and you will be in charge of your pick-up time, how many persons will share your transfer, and the number of additional stops along the time. This will make your transfer more predictable and you are still in complete control of everyone in the group sharing the transfer together.
Thousands of cruisers have created their own privately shared Civitavecchia Transfers easily and enjoyed the benefits of a Private Transfer with the cost savings of a shared transfer.
It’s easy: just place an Ad on Cruise Critic Roll Call and invite fellow cruisers to share your Civitavecchia Transfers.
.
Privately Shared Civitavecchia Transfers are most recommended for:
* Rome Hotels (all centrally located to minimize travel time and costs of additional stops) to Civitavecchia.
- Civitavecchia to Rome Hotels (all centrally located to minimize travel time and costs of additional stops).
* Civitavecchia to Fiumicino (FCO Airport and/or Hotels in Fiumicino)
.
Privately shared Civitavecchia Transfers are NOT recommended for:
.
* Airport Transfers to Civitavecchia (due to unpredictability of airport arrivals)
* Pick up and Drop off Hotels that are too far apart or in different cities as it would increase travel time and costs associated with additional stops far apart.
How to Be in Control of your SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA Transfers
.
10. Enhance your Civitavecchia Transfers with sightseeing opportunities.
.
The last of our 10 Things to Know before booking Civitavecchia Transfers is choosing if you wish to enhance your Civitavecchia Transfers and turn them into exciting Pre-Cruise Tours to Civitavecchia and Post Cruise Tours from Civitavecchia to Rome. Many cruisers don’t know that they can turn their direct nonstop Civitavecchia Transfers and turn their transfers into actual tours and experience more of Italy in a short time.
You can upgrade your Civitavecchia Transfers with Pre Cruise Tours and Post Cruise Tours.
.
.
PRE CRUISE TOURS
.
If you are staying in Rome prior to your cruise, pre-cruise tours offer you the wonderful opportunity to enjoy a Rome Pre Cruise Tour or a Countryside Pre Cruise Tour.
On your half-day tour of Rome with a transfer to Civitavecchia, you can enjoy a visit to the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the popular Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.
.
.
.
On a half-day tour of the countryside with a transfer to Civitavecchia, you enjoy a visit to the fairy-tale Renaissance Castle in Bracciano that overlooks a pristine volcanic lake and have a delicious traditional Italian lunch in the Medieval clifftop hamlet of Ceri.
Our sister company Stefano Rome Tours also offers the fabulous Charming Lakeside Villages Pre Cruise Tour that you would be sure to love.
.
.
.
.
POST CRUISE TOURS
Due to the high demand of cruisers looking to maximize their day upon completing their cruise in Civitavecchia, we created the very popular Rome in A Day Post Cruise Tour and the Countryside Post Cruise Tours.
What is wonderful about touring post cruise is that ANY shore excursion from Civitavecchia can be converted into a Post Cruise Tour at the same price as a shore excursion.
Your tour begins with your pick up by your ship and concludes with your drop off at your hotel in Rome.
.
.
Staying in Fiumicino? Have an evening flight out of FCO Airport? No problem! We can even take you to your hotel in Fiumicino or the Airport at the end of your tour.

See ROME IN A DAY from Civitavecchia – Rome Cabs
Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for private Airport and Civitavecchia Transfers, Shore Excursions from Italy’s main cruise ports, and Day Tours from Rome.
Rome was not built in a day, but if you are short on time (such as a shore excursion from Civitavecchia) you can certainly see the highlights and enjoy the best that Rome has to offer in a day.
We created a time tested itinerary for our most popular tour: Rome in A Day that includes, among others, the following famous monuments, museums, and squares.
If you are looking for inspiration for some of Rome’s top sites that you can enjoy in a day, keep this list handy.

COLOSSEUM

.
The COLOSSEUM is the iconic symbol of Rome and the once formidable Roman Empire. Originally named the Flavian Amphitheater after the family name of Emperor Vespasian who commissioned the elliptical amphitheater to be built in 72 AD, the Colosseum was primarily used for gladiatorial games, beast hunts, mock sea battles, theatrical displays, and unfortunate public executions.
.
.
HELPFUL TIPS TO VISITING THE COLOSSEUM:
- Purchase your Admission Tickets in advance to avoid long ticket lines.
- The Colosseum is best visited first thing in the morning to avoid the potential long security lines due to security checkpoints, and avoid the hot summer sun in the afternoon that makes you feel like you are baking inside the Colosseum)

CIRCUS MAXIMUS

One of the wonders of Ancient Rome, Circus Maximus was Rome’s premier chariot racing stadium right below the palatial Palatine Hill where ancient Rome’s emperors and upper crust built their enormous villas – the Beverly Hills of Ancient Rome).

THE PANTHEON

The Pantheon – Rome in A Day Tour with RomeCabs
.
The Pantheon is Rome’s ancient temple originally dedicated to all Roman gods (from which its name derives), and it was converted into a Christian Church in 609 AD. Having been converted into a church helped preserve this ancient monument from being stripped and quarried for building materials like other ancient monuments during the Medieval and Renaissance eras.
The most formidable feature of the Pantheon is its imposing coffered dome with a hole in its center. This “oculus” (Latin for “eye”) was always open to nature’s elements allowing in sunshine, rain, and sometimes snow.

The Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome with an amazing facade of Oceanus and his amazing seahorses jockeid by two Tritons.
The Trevi Fountain was featured in the movie classics Three Coins in A Fountain and Federico Fellini’s famous “La Dolce Vita”.
Legend has it that if you throw a coin into the fountain over your shoulder, it will ensure a return visit to Rome! It’s worth a try – and it’s for a good cause. The coins are collected each morning and donated to charity to help the poor.

BRACCIANO
.
LAKE BRACCIANO
.
.
.
Lake Bracciano is an ancient volcanic crater that is now of the most pristine lakes in Italy. Favored by Italians seeking to escape the chaotic city life of Rome, Lake Bracciano is one of the top countryside destinations for Italians.
.
BRACCIANO CASTLE
.
.
The 15th century imposing Renaissance Castle is commonly known as Bracciano Castle (named after the town of Bracciano where it’s located). Its official name is Odescalchi-Orsini Castle, and for centuries it is still owned by the same Odeschalchi family and it’s one of the best preserved castles in Italy.
You will have the wonderful opportunity to visit Bracciano Castle and explore elegant rooms still with their original Renaissance era furnishings, wall paintings, frescoes, tapestries, friezes, weaponry, and more, turning it into an actual museum.
.
Bracciano Castle Interior – Countryside Tour with RomeCabs
.
Many of Italy’s kings, queens, lords, ladies, knights and Popes and some of the most powerful families (think the Borgias!) have once lived and slept here.
Depending on when you visit Bracciano Castle, you might feel as though you have the castle to yourself as you explore the grounds and the “Court of Honor” with arches, ramparts and pathways.
Located on the southern shore of Lake Bracciano, it offers visitors a spectacular panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding countryside.

THE HAMLET OF CERI
..
.
.
.
Your encounter with Ceri will be unexpected.
Through the rustic countryside roads it will suddenly appear in front of you, the remains of its ancient fortified walls rising out of the tuffa cliff. A narrow street will wind its way up through the arched village gate to the top of the hamlet’s only square. A stop light at the bottom and top of the hamlet allows traffic to pass one direction at a time as the narrow medieval passageway is only wide enough for one vehicle to drive through at a time.
Historic buildings with aged sun kissed facades and a church surround the tiny square. If not for all the vehicles parked there, you’d swear you’ve traveled back in time and found yourself in a Medieval borgo.
