tourist attractions in lazio italy

Three are the things making Lazio such a unique and all-to-be-discovered region: excellent cuisine, incredible breadth of historical evidence, and an area having all kinds of scenic beauty, from the sea to the mountains, not forgetting lakes and hills. 

To reach Rome , one can use two airports: Rome Ciampino and Rome Fiumicino. From both, getting to the city center is quite easy. The main difference between Fiumicino and Ciampino is that the former is served by almost all international airlines, while the latter is often the preferred choice of those using low-cost flights. In addition to these two airports aimed at passenger transport, there are two more with different purposes. In fact, we have Urbe Airport, related to cargo transport, and Centocelle Airport, whose use can be traced back to military purposes.

We have already mentioned how Rome to be on its own a hub of capital importance for all of Lazio and Italy, so rich in wonders that perhaps one stay is not enough to discover them all. St. Peter's and the related Vatican Museums are a must for anyone in Rome. The Sistine Chapel, with its frescoes by Michelangelo, is one of the most famous and beloved masterworks in the entire history of art: impossible to decant its magnificence in words alone. And then Raphael Sanzio's School of Athens, the Gallery of Maps, the Laocoon sculpture group: pure art and nothing else. 

Of course, the Vatican Museums are only a "small part" of the wonders of the Eternal City. We continue with the Colosseum (on some occasions visitable even at night), the Catacombs, Palazzo Barberini, and a great many museums, each with its own special feature, among which stand MAXXI, MACRO, and the State Museums of Rome. 

Lazio’s cuisine further enriches a travel experience in the region. Dishes known even in the rest of the world were invented here, beloved by all and almost revered by some: carbonara and amatriciana. These are the most famous dishes, but certainly not the only ones. As main courses we can fix abbacchio alla scottadito, the veal-based saltimbocca alla romana, tripe and coda (tail) alla vaccinara. Typical appetizers, on the other hand, are the rustic ricotta cake, Roman-style supplì, and panzanella. Special mention for two mouth-watering desserts: “maritozzo” with cream and wine “ciambelle” (donuts) of Castelli Romani.

Central Italy

Lazio is not only rome: landscapes and monuments of lazio.

Rome, the capital of Italy and a unique open-air museum in the world, is enough to make Lazio one of the most beautiful and interesting regions. Even in terms of landscape, it boasts an area of great impact and remarkable variety, with its long coastline, beautiful hills and Apennine mountains. A destination to fall in love with.

She never hides her years, but still wears them well: after all, Rome is the Eternal City. A walk through the streets of Rome is a stroll through History with a capital H. One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, it offers and almost demands endless new discoveries, thanks to the enormity of its artistic heritage. As a matter of fact, it is home to two capitals in one city: the Italian capital and the home of the Pope in the Vatican, a place of universal pilgrimage to St Peter's Square.

Viterbo and surroundings The province of Viterbo lies in the Tuscia region, in northern Lazio. Renowned for its natural beauty dotted with Etruscan and Roman remains, this area also offers villages and towns perched atop hills. You can begin your exploration in Viterbo, the City of Popes. After admiring the majestic Palazzo dei Papi and the San Pellegrino quarter, you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the spa. Among the local villages, we recommend visiting Bagnaia and the magnificent Villa Lante with its Italian-style gardens, the medieval Caprarola with its impressive Palazzo Farnese, and the abandoned villages of Celleno and Civita di Bagnoregio, “the dying town”. Not forgetting Sutri, perched on a tuff cliff. Further down is ancient Sutri, with a Roman amphitheatre and necropolis. Be sure to visit Bomarzo, famous for its Sacred Grove, nicknamed the Park of the Monsters, with sculptures of mythological and grotesque creatures. For nature walks, check out the volcanic Lake Vico, a nature reserve surrounded by the Monti Cimini hills, or the shores of Lake Bolsena. To explore the area’s Etruscan origins, head to Tarquinia. Today it is a medieval village, but it preserves splendid Etruscan treasures, like the Monterozzi Necropolis with tombs cut into the rock decorated with frescoes.

In the footsteps of the Sabatini In the most authentic heart of Lazio, the province of Rieti stretches between rivers and lakes in a predominantly mountainous territory, surrounded by the Sabini and Reatini Mountains. Located in the north-east of the region, it borders, along the Tiber, the province of Viterbo, the capital and the region of Umbria. Unspoilt nature amidst parks and protected areas, history and ancient traditions, Franciscan sanctuaries, fortresses and castles come together in a province whose origins go back to the times of the ancient Italic people of the Sabines. Visiting the towns and villages that characterise the area is an experience not to be missed. Take a tour around the town of Sabina and be sure to visit the Abbey of Farfa, an ancient monastery named after the nearby river Farfarus. The regional capital, Rieti, is also called “the navel of Italy” due to its geographical location. Dominated by the summit of Terminillo, it is an excellent tourist destination particularly appreciated for its tranquillity and beauty. Among the monuments and main places of interest is the Basilica Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Once you have finished exploring the surroundings, refresh yourself with traditional cuisine. Typical dishes include spelt with Leonessa truffles, strangozzi alla reatina and sagne scandrigliesi.

Testimony of 20th-century Italy The city of Latina lies in the heart of the Pontine Plain. Once known as Littoria, it still boasts rationalist architecture, bearing witness to the history of 20th-century Italy. The most iconic example is Palazzo M, built in the shape of Mussolini’s initial. For panoramic views of the city, you can climb the 32-metre-high civic tower. The province offers unexpected surprises: medieval villages, cliffs, caves and the beautiful Circeo National Park — what it lacks in size it makes up for in flourishing flora, fauna and architectural gems, like the ruins of the Villa di Domiziano. Near the capital are the towns of Formia and Gaeta. The latter still boasts an intact medieval historic centre (Gaeta Vecchia) and the Angevin-Aragonese Castle. We also recommend visiting the town of Sperlonga, on the Ulysses Riviera, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, with caves and breath-taking views around every corner. Don’t miss the Gardens of Ninfa, where plants grow among the ruins of an abandoned city. From the mainland, you can reach the Pontine Islands in a couple of hours by ferry. Ventotene, Ponza, Palmarola, Gavi, Zannone and Santo Stefano offer crystal-clear waters, beautiful beaches and wild nature.

A thousand-year-old city, among ancient Roman ruins and traces of papal history Between Rome and Naples, Frosinone is a city with a history dating back thousands of years. Traces of its glorious past can be found at the Roman Amphitheatre built in the 1st-2nd century AD, the town’s archaeological museum and the Tomb of Sant’Angelo in Maniano. The province, known as Ciociaria, is home to countless picturesque villages steeped in history, as well as natural areas such as Lake Canterno, also known as the “ghost lake”, due to its karst origin dating back to the early 19th century. We also recommend stopping by the Monti Simbruini Regional Park, a protected natural area where mountains, majestic panoramas, valleys and rivers reign supreme. Fumone, home to the Rocca Longhi De-Paolis castle, is famous not only for having served as the prison and place of death of Pope Celestine V, but also for its extraordinary, 800-metre-high hanging garden, the highest in Europe. Another location closely linked to papal history is Anagni, remembered in books for the famous, humiliating “slap” inflicted by Philip IV of France on Pope Boniface VIII in 1303. Ferentino is also worth visiting, with its spectacular remains of megalithic walls, which have been attributed to the Cyclopes due to their sheer scale.

10 Best Places to Visit in the Lesser-Known Lazio Region of Italy

We are Elisa & Simone, travel bloggers since 2018. Our mission is to discover lesser-known places in Italy like Lazio. We are from Civitavecchia – a small city located pretty close to Rome – known for its port where millions of tourists come from all over the world every year to access the Italian capital.

Lazio is a region we started exploring due to its many wonderful places that people don’t know about. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your perspective), Lazio welcomes lots of tourists but almost all of them only visit Rome and they miss out on the other beautiful areas around it. So, we are here to help you get to know this underrated region in more detail.

Why Lazio is a Special Part of Italy

Lazio is the type of destination you would like if you enjoy exploration. You can find all sorts of different places, people and cultures – despite it being relatively small. Everything you need for the perfect vacation exists here: gorgeous sea (especially in the south), mountains, nature and spa resorts. In our opinion, after you visit Rome, you can spend at least 10 days in Lazio.

10 Best Places to Visit in Lazio

The spot we love the most in Lazio is Calcata. It’s close to Rome, just 50 kilometers away, and it’s full of charm and mystery. Calcata was abandoned for many years but in the 60s hippies from Europe chose to adopt it as their new home. Today, in every corner of the tiny commune, you can discover tiny artist workshops and you can immerse yourself in a real sense of freedom. It’s also known as the “village of witches” due to the wind that blows through the streets at night – making a sound similar to a witch.

2. Gardens of Bomarzo

The Gardens of Bomarzo, also commonly known as the Sacro Bosco , is a captivating haven reminiscent of a fairytale book – transporting visitors to a whimsical realm frozen in the 16th-century. This enchanting garden is a surreal masterpiece adorned with intricate sculptures that breathe life into mythical creatures and colossal animals, all meticulously carved from rock.

Each step through the garden unfolds a new chapter in the narrative of wonder. A visit to this ethereal sanctuary offers families the opportunity to immerse themselves in a bygone era, where imagination takes center stage. The incredible details and creative artistry of the stone creatures engage the senses, creating an unforgettable experience on your Lazio trip.

3. Civita di Bagnoregio

Perched on a large boulder, Civita di Bagnoregio is an iconic village accessible only through a lengthy steel bridge. Revered for its beauty, this Lazio locale is often dubbed “The Dying City” as the relentless erosion of time gradually erases its existence. The village’s vulnerability to natural forces enhances its mystique, attracting visitors who marvel at its charm.

4. Palazzo Farnese, Caprarola

The Palazzo Farnese, nestled in the enchanting town of Caprarola and not to be confused with the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, stands as a testament to the grandeur of Renaissance architecture. Commissioned by the influential Farnese family during the 16th-century, this colossal pentagonal mansion offers a remarkable blend of artistic opulence and historical significance.

Stepping through its majestic doors, visitors are transported into a realm of splendor where intricate paintings and architectural marvels adorn the interiors. The Palazzo Farnese serves not only as a physical manifestation of the Farnese family’s power and wealth, but also as a cultural treasure trove.

5. Etruscan Necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia

The Etruscan Necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites , stand as witnesses to the rich tapestry of Etruscan civilization. These ancient burial grounds encapsulate the cultural and historical significance of Italy’s past – offering a glimpse into the artistic, religious and societal dimensions of this enigmatic civilization.

6. Sperlonga and Gaeta

Sperlonga and Gaeta stand as picturesque towns/cities in the southern part of Lazio. These destinations boast a harmonious blend of gorgeous landscapes, rich history and delicious seafood – creating an irresistible set of attractions for visitors. Sperlonga, with its winding cobblestone streets and ancient Roman sea grotto , offers a journey through time.

Meanwhile, Gaeta’s coastal charm captivates with its Monte Orlando Park and culinary delights – featuring some of the freshest seafood delights in all of Italy. Together these two gems showcase the quintessence of Lazio, where every corner exudes a sense of timeless beauty, making them not just destinations but immersive experiences that linger in the heart.

Nemi, a hidden gem in the “Roman Castles” area of the Metropolitan City of Rome, is home to the pristine Nemi Lake. This idyllic town is also famous for its original strawberry cake – a treat that can be ordered at any bar, cafe or restaurant and which perfectly compliments the town’s cozy atmosphere.

8. Civitavecchia di Arpino

Civitavecchia di Arpino, an ancient town predating Roman dominance, boasts unique features such as Cyclopean walls. In close proximity lies the natural oasis of Posta Fibreno. This idyllic retreat offers a juxtaposition to the town’s antiquity, providing visitors with a refreshing escape into nature.

9. Isola del Liri

Isola del Liri is a town that will leave you breathless with its waterfalls, stemming from a river, cascading in the heart of the town center. The mix of urban life and the natural beauty of flowing water is a sight to behold, offering travelers a unique experience in the Lazio region of Italy.

10. Cervara di Roma

Cervara di Roma is an enchanting artist village, where creativity thrives amidst rocky structures and vibrant artworks. Each cobblestone corner tells a tale of artistic expression, transforming the hamlet into a living canvas where the essence of culture and imagination intertwines seamlessly.

Tips for Visiting the Lazio Region

One thing to know about Lazio is there are many different cultures and influences scattered around. Of course, Rome is similar to many other European capitals with people living there from all over the world. If you visit the northern part of Lazio you will discover influences from Tuscany and Umbria, and will notice how welcoming the people are and how they preserve their traditions. In the southern part, there are influences from Naples. The people are also nice and heartfelt, and the food is superb.

Like all regions of Italy, food plays an important role in Lazio. If you are visiting for the first time, you should try all the traditional Roman dishes: carbonara, cacio e pepe and amatriciana. Pizza is also great but in Lazio a different kind is made called pinsa. In the coastal areas, seafood is good.

If you plan on just visiting Rome , you can easily move around with public transport. There are many train and bus services from the airport or port. However, for those looking to explore the Lazio region in greater detail, we recommend hiring a car as public transport only covers the biggest cities.

Lazio is perfect to visit every month of the year. In summer, you can enjoy its beautiful sea and in winter you can immerse in village life. Finally, don’t forget to leave space in your bag because you will be purchasing some local delicacies to bring back home with you. Thanks for reading and we hope to see you on our social media or blog: italyyoudontexpect.com .

Beyond Roman Holidays: exploring the Lazio Region

The top things to do in Lazio

Our beloved city, Rome, often overwhelms the cultural, oenogastronomic, natural, and religious resources of our region, Lazio , and that should stop. It is a region begging for exploration and offers a local alternative for almost any Italian holiday imaginable. Lazio is made up of five provinces: Roma, Latina, Viterbo , Rieti, and Frosinone , and over these provinces, there is a plethora of monuments, archeological sights, regional parks, wine, food, and religious sites that merit a visit. The most dominant attribute to Lazio’s landscape is the three dormant volcanoes to the north and south of Rome, the source of the majority of Lazio’s agricultural, natural, and cultural heritage. Rome’s own Sam Pietrini basalt cobblestones were sourced from the Castelli Romani .

Cultural Heritage

Before Rome existed, Lazio was home to the Etruscans, Latins, and the Sabines. It became the epicenter of the Roman world and, ultimately, the heart of Catholicism. Beyond Rome, there are six UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the ‘dead city’ Civita di Bagnoregio , the Etruscan necropolises at Tarquinia, and Cerveteri , the breathtaking Villa d’Este in Tivoli, and Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli . All worth a day trip from Rome. 

Food and Wine

The flavors of Lazio are diverse and range from heavy peasant dishes in the mountains to seafood by the coast. Sheep milk products, olive oil, pasta, and artichokes are staples throughout. Although Lazio’s wine has not always enjoyed the best reputation, producers throughout Lazio focus on sustainable agricultural and high-quality wines rather than high quantity. Producers such as Merumalia in Frascati focus on organic vineyards and pay homage to tradition. They offer lovely wine tours and tastings as well as lunch at their gorgeous estate.

Lazio is a beautiful destination for nature lovers and people who just need an escape from the city’s chaos for a day. There are Regional Parks with hiking trails . The Monti Aurunci Regional Park has 22 km of biking trails of different difficulty levels. Serious treehuggers can spend a day exploring the ancient beech forest in Cimini, a UNESCO, and therefore protected, World Heritage site. There are trees as tall as 50 mt. The park is an invaluable part of the ecological heritage of Italy and Europe.

Lazio also boasts several volcanic crater lakes. The towns of the Castelli Romani are scattered along the rim of an ancient dormant volcano with two crater lakes; Lago di Albano, and Lago di Nemi which are about 25 to 30 km from Rome. Lago Albano is more accessible with manicured beaches, bars, and restaurants, while Lago di Nemi is wilder without commercial development. To the north, there are several lakes. Lago di Bracciano is the most popular for Romans during the summer months. Nearby and slightly more remote, a more peaceful option is Lago di Martignano , where you can rent a sailboat at Casale di Martignano.

Do you want to have a truly unique experience immersed in nature? Book our kayak tour on Albano Lake .

Further from Rome is the Lago di Bolsena . It is the largest volcanic crater lake in Europe and is considered the cleanest and most pristine. The soils around the lake are quite unique for wine production. Enjoy a lakeside lunch at La Rimessa dei Pescatori and enjoy a local wine from Il Vinco or Andrea Occhipinti.

Lazio boasts more than 300 km of coastline, and while the nearest beaches to Rome may not evoke the most romantic Mediterranean seaside fantasies, if you are willing to travel about an hour by train , there are gorgeous beaches with clean, crystalline, turquoise water. Sperlonga is a wonderful option and is well worth the train ride for its pristine sandy beaches, beautiful clear water, and the ancient Roman sea grotto of Tiberius. It was awarded the coveted Bandiera Blu for its clean waters and commitment to maintaining eco-friendly services. Sabaudia and Circeo are also popular beach options.

One of the most incredible experiences to have as a traveler is island hopping in the Mediterranean . Who doesn’t dream of turquoise waters, secret coves, and the joy of freshly caught seafood? Once again, Lazio does not fail. The archipelago of the Pontine Islands is reached by Rome by train and ferry. The largest and most popular island of the Pontine Islands is Ponza , and it is an excellent option for a Mediterranean Island holiday. A highlight is renting a motorboat and exploring the island’s beaches and coves. Palmarola is the real gem of the Pontine Islands and is about 7km from Ponza and reachable by boat. There are loads of caves, coves, rocks, and crannies to explore around Palmarola. It is excellent for snorkeling and looking for octopus, different fish, and sea urchins. The best side to stay on Ponza is the side facing Palmarola to enjoy the sunsets of various hues of orange, pink, and purple and to have access to the natural pools in the bay of Cala Feola, which were formed by erosion and wind.

For those snow bunnies, there are plenty of options for skiing near Rome. Monte Livata is just 45 km away from Rome. It is a small resort, but if you cannot make it to the Dolomites, it is an excellent option for a day trip.

Religious Pilgrimage

With the heart of Catholicism in Rome, it is no secret that Lazio abounds with critical sacred sites. The oldest Benedictine Monastery is located in Subiaco , which is just outside Olevano Romano, a town famous for Cesanese red wine. Abbazia di Santa Scholastica is still an active congregation founded in the sixth century at the grotto where Benedict made his first hermitage. It is one of the most beautiful examples of medieval and monastic architecture in Italy.

For those who prefer a walking pilgrimage, there is no need to fly to Spain to walk the El Camino. The region of Lazio invested in the Laziale section of the Via Francigena, the road that connected France to Rome and Jerusalem to Rome via Brindisi. It was the most traversed road in the medieval western world. There is an eight-day walking itinerary that starts in Tuscany that takes trekkers to important religious sites in Lazio with an average of 20 km per day . This includes Viterbo , which was home to the popes between 1257-1281, and the old town and San Pellegrino district are considered to be very well preserved medieval architecture.

The medieval town of Anagni , once served as the  residency of four Popes, also worth a visit.

As we can see, Lazio has more than enough to offer from Rome. Whether it is for day trips or multiple day holidays. Our region is well worth taking to time to explore.

Top 10 things to do in Lazio

Stay – castello di proceno.

A crenellated medieval affair with a working drawbridge, Castello di Proceno rises imperiously above the village of the same name, close to the border between Tuscany and Lazio, in a verdant landscape of chestnut woods and hay fields. Within the walls are seven guest apartments and three suites, all done out in cosy Italian grandma style. Best buys are the four-berth seasonal suites, Primavera, Estate and Autunno (from €720 a week), each with a private terrace or garden. Inside the keep is a private museum of priestly robes, musical instruments and other historic gewgaws; there's also a wine bar featuring an original Etruscan tomb. Paths lined with wisteria and iris lead down to the pool and summer restaurant. Corso Regina Margherita 155, Proceno, +39 0763 710072, castellodiproceno.it . Apartments sleeping two to five from €520 a week, suites sleeping two from €100 a night

Explore – La Riserva Naturale Monte Rufeno

Monte Rufeno nature reserve occupies more than 7,000 acres of rolling oak forest on the borders of Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany. It's a wild corner of Italy, the haunt of boar and porcupine. Inside the reserve, three stone casali (farmhouses) offer simple – some might say spartan – accommodation, ranging from doubles with en suites to quad rooms. Large groups can rent an entire farmhouse, with kitchen. If you prefer to be cooked for, the restaurant at five-room Casale Monaldesca serves hearty local fare. The reserve is crisscrossed by walking, biking and riding trails, and there are horses for hire. Strada Trevinano Monaldesca 44, Acquapendente, +39 335 364322, lamonaldesca.it . Doubles from €60 B&B, dinner €21

Relax – Il Bagnaccio hot spring

One of the joys of the volcanic northern reaches of Lazio is the abundance of hot springs, perfect for a restorative wallow. Some, especially around Viterbo, have been channelled into thermal resorts with a faintly institutional feel, but many rise in open countryside and attract a democratic mix of locals (who see free thermal pools as a basic human right) and adventurous tourists. One of the best is Il Bagnaccio, where pools have been carved out of white clay in a bucolic landscape that can't have changed much since Etruscan times. Bring a towel and claim your corner. Il Bagnaccio is 6km north of Viterbo. To get there, take SS2, Strada Cassia Nord, then bear left on to SP7 to Marta and Capodimonte. After less than a mile, keep an eye out for a shapeless Roman ruin on your left and drive down the track in front of it to the springs

Drink – Sergio Mottura wines

Orvieto may be better known, but some of the best white wines in the area between Rome and Florence are made around Civitella d'Agliano, an unassuming town half an hour's drive east of Lake Bolsena. The leading producer is a cultured gentleman by the name of Sergio Mottura, whose main cellar occupies a 16th-century manor house that doubles as an 11-room country-chic hotel and summer restaurant, La Tana dell'Istrice (the porcupine's burrow). The estate's award-winning Poggio della Costa white, made from 100% grechetto grapes, is a snip at €10.80 a bottle at the cellar door. Piazza Unità d'Italia 12, Civitella d'Agliano, +39 0761 914501, motturasergio.it

Eat – La Tana dell'Orso

Surrounded by vineyards, market gardens and oak woods, this country restaurant with opera-box views is a charming venue for a long summer lunch. Grilled or baked lake fish such as coregone (whitefish), tench and eel vie with meaty mains like lamb in red wine with porcini, but vegetarians are also catered for with classic ribollita soup and an encyclopedic cheese board – the personal passion of owner Bruno. Wrap up your meal with walnut and chocolate biscuits dipped in aleatico dessert wine. Località Montesegnale 162, Bolsena, +39 0761 798162. Closed all day Thursday and Sunday evening. Average €25 a head without wine

See – Lake Bolsena

Largest of the three volcanic lakes north of Rome, Bolsena is the most characterful (and least thronged with daytrippers). Of the lake towns, Bolsena itself has the readiest charm, with its centro storico and Collegiata di Santa Cristina church, a historical layer cake whose earliest parts date from 11th century. The little town of Marta on the southern shore – scene of an evocative spring procession called La Barabbata on 14 May – is also worth a visit, but perhaps best of all is Isola Bisentina, a romantic island reached by ferry from Bolsena, Marta or Capodimonte. With seven oratories in various states of disrepair and an artfully gothic landscape cared for by present owner Prince Giovanni del Drago, it's a fine place for a tryst, a swim or a picnic. Naviga Bolsena ( navigabolsena.com ) in Capodimonte has boat trips from €6pp

Eat – Gelateria Santa Cristina

Bolsena just happens to be home to one of Italy's finest gourmet ice-cream emporiums. The coffee flavour of gelato maestros Anna Cristina Salomone and her husband Giulio carried off the top award at the prestigious ice-cream world cup in Rimini in 2008, while their Piedmont hazelnut picked up third prize a year later. But it's the ricotta and cinnamon flavour that Anna Cristina considers the house speciality. Despite the quality ingredients, prices are no higher than usual, starting at €2 for a small cone or tub. Corso della Repubblica 8, Bolsena, +39 0761 798758. Open daily

Tour – Vignanello garden

A rewarding half-day trip from Bolsena, this labyrinth of immaculately clipped box hedges has resisted the vagaries of garden fashion to come down to us unchanged from the early 17th century. Hidden in the 12 parterres are the initials of the garden's founder, Ottavia Orsini, and her sons. The current owner, the formidable but simpatica Princess Claudia Ruspoli, personally guides visitors around the garden which she has restored with passion. Tours, which also take in her castle home, Castello Ruspoli, take place on Sundays from April to the end of October. Groups can visit by appointment at other times too. Piazza della Repubblica, Vignanello, +39 0761 755338, castelloruspoli.com , €10pp

Visit – Civita di Bagnoregio

Isolated on an eroded spur of volcanic tufa, this improbably perched hamlet is famous as il paese che muore – the dying village. But patronage from the likes of Prince Charles and Unesco have helped shore up what's left of the slowly crumbling borgo , and today this once inaccessible community with a winter population of fewer than 20 souls is one of the area's main tourist draws. Reached via a bracingly modern pedestrian bridge, Civita has little to offer beyond some craft shops and photogenic plant-draped tufa houses (the house where Saint Bonaventure was born has long since fallen into the valley along with dozens of others), but it's still an unmissable sight. 24km north of Viterbo, follow signs to Montefiascone, then Bagnoregio

Lazio region

Exploring this fascinating region of central Italy; there’s so much more than Rome to discover

Beautiful, crumbling medieval hilltop towns, faded palaces, large and tranquil lakes in old volcanic craters, thermal springs and fine wines…

About Lazio

Lazio is in central Italy, on the western coast. The region was formerly known to English travellers by its Roman name, Latium, although this version of the name is now rarely used. A major port of call on the Grand Tour, when eighteenth-century travellers explored its scenic villages, Lazio is now largely overlooked in favour of its capital, Rome.

With so much investment, jobs and tourism concentrated in Rome, the surrounding region is often quiet, depopulated and rather run-down. For tourists, the good side of this is the tracts of unspoiled countryside, the dilapidated but surviving historic town centres, and the welcome you may receive. Tourists are rare creatures in many of Lazio’s smaller towns, and once locals realise you are interested in their hometown they are generally delighted.

Lazio is divided into five provinces. In the north and west, bordering Tuscany and Umbria, are the Provinces of Viterbo and Rieti. In the centre of Lazio, the region’s administrative centre is the Province of Rome, then to the south lie the Provinces of Latina and Frosinone.

Lazio airports and travel

Rome Fiumicino and Rome Ciampino are the two airports serving the region. If you’re sticking to a few major sights, the public transport is fairly efficient, but to get around the whole area it’s a good idea to hire a car. There are local bus and rail services, but if you want to fit in a lot of sights, public transport isn’t a really efficient use of time.

Lazio tourist destinations

Rome is of course the principal tourist destination in Lazio. Most of the region’s other sights can be managed as a daytrip from the city, but if you’re interested in a slightly different holiday, consider staying for longer in one of Lazio’s other provinces. As well as Rome itself, the Province of Rome boasts popular tourist destinations like Frascati and Tivoli .

Viterbo , to the north, is a historic town with a beautiful, well-preserved medieval centre. Its province offers a wealth of tourist attractions: the lovely Lakes Vico and Bolsena, splendid gardens at the Villa Lante in Bagnaia , a grand palace at Caprarola, Etruscan remains at Tarquinia and Vulci, thermal springs and famous wine (Montefiascone’s Est! Est!! Est!!!).

The Province of Latina runs for 100km along the coast, between Rome and Campania, and includes stretches of sandy beach and charming resorts like Sperlonga , and the Pontine Islands . Frosinone is inland and its most well-known tourist destination is Fiuggi, a spa resort with thermal springs. Budget coach tours sometimes use Fiuggi as a base for seeing Rome, although it is some distance from the Eternal City.

Archaeological sites

Naturally, Lazio – heart of the Roman Empire – is chock-full of archaeological sites. Before the Romans, the northern part of Lazio was dominated by the Etruscan civilisation. The Etruscans didn’t leave many traces of their lives, but their deaths are recorded in famous burial grounds. The necropolis at Cerveteri is composed of many ‘streets’ of stone tombs, while the burials at Tarquinia are notable for their painted decorations. More, smaller Etruscan sites can be visited around Viterbo, while the best grave goods and artefacts are on display in the Villa Giulia in Rome. After the major Roman sites and museums in Rome, one of the best archaeological sites in the area is Ostia Antica, Rome’s ruined port. Major temple complexes can be visited in Palestrina and Terracina , where a massive temple overlooks the sea. Wealthy Romans have always liked villas in the countryside, and there are ruins of villas belonging to Roman emperors at Anzio (Nero), Castel Gandolfo (Domitian; the ruins are now in the Pope’s private garden), Sperlonga (where Tiberius dined in a decorated grotto) as well as Tivoli, where the most luxurious villa of all was built by Hadrian.

Best Places to Visit Near Rome in the Region of Lazio, Italy

While Tuscany or Umbria may be the first regions that spring to mind when thinking of a vacation in Italy, travelers would be wise not to overlook Lazio. The region is home to the national capital, Rome, and all it has to offer; however, it boasts way more than just the country’s largest city. It is also where you’ll find ancient Etruscan culture in Tarquinia and Cerveteri.

And we haven’t even touched on nature in Lazio. Beaches, rolling green hills, and mountains are dotted across the region – with volcanic springs to rest those aching muscles after a hike, or lakes where you can take a dip in the middle of the day.

In this post, we’ll take a look at the best things to do in Lazio. Hopefully, it will help you to plan and make the most of your Italian vacation. Many of the activities on this list are an easy weekend break or day trip from Rome, which is perfect if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Italy’s capital city.

Visit Italy’s timeless classical city, Rome

Bathe in a volcanic hot spring, stand up paddleboard on the beautiful lake bolsena, stroll around a garden packed with monsters, explore one of the best-preserved renaissance gardens in europe, marvel at the clifftop settlement of civita di bagnoregio, head to one of the region’s blue flag beaches, visit the ancient ruins of rome’s ancient sea port, learn about history at the castle of bracciano, sample ‘i piatti tipici’, search for bears and wolves in the parco nazionale d’abruzzo, lazio, e molise, step back in time to learn about the etruscan civilization, explore the villas of tivoli, lazio podcast.

There’s more to Lazio than Rome, but it’s a great place to start your trip (and use as a base if need be). It ticks pretty much every box when it comes to what to do in a long weekend – however you could spend even longer than that in the Eternal City without getting bored.

Its rich history can be seen all over the city. Remains from when it was the heart of the Ancient Roman empire can be seen – with the Forum, Colosseum , and Circus Maximus all still popular visitor attractions today. Incredibly, the ancient Pantheon Temple still holds the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world – sure to take your breath away when you visit.

However, it’s not just the ancient architecture that will leave you stunned. There’s the Trevi Fountain which is adorned with lavish Baroque sculptures, the wide-open Piazza Navona, and there’s also the fact that the smallest country in the world resides within Rome – Vatican City.

While all of these attractions may make Rome sound like some sort of theme park, that’s not the case. Head to Trastevere for an awesome food and nightlife scene without breaking the bank, or spend an evening with your drink of choice in the bars of Campo dei Fiori.

It’s very rare that a tourist leaves Rome feeling disappointed.

Viterbo is one of the largest cities in the region, and this off the beaten track gem is a must for any Lazio itinerary. While the city has built up over the years, its walled center has remained mostly unchanged – with original architecture on churches and city center buildings dating back to the 11th century. It’s one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Italy. The town sits in the shadow of the Palazzo dei Papi, as the city was the Papal seat for 24 years in the 13th century.

Nowadays, the city is probably best known for its volcanic hot springs. They were mentioned in Dante’s Divine Comedy and have long been reputed to have healing powers. Waters can be anything from 40 – 58 degrees and you’ll often find the locals chilling out here after a day at work or between classes at university. For tourists with a little more cash, there are exclusive spa resorts but to get to know the city and its locals, it’s best to head to the free spas at Bullicame and Il Bagnaccio.

Another plus from visiting Viterbo’s hot springs is that the crowds are nothing like those at Saturnina, so you’ll be able to find your own spot to just sit back and soak up those therapeutic waters.

Viterbo is an easy day trip from Rome – a slow train that will allow you to appreciate the picturesque landscapes takes around two hours. There are lots of places to sleep, eat, and drink in the city. It’s also a fabulous base for a number of activities on this list – journeys to places like Bagnoregio and Bolsena are easier from here if you’re using public transport.

Not only is Bolsena the largest lake in Lazio, but it’s also the biggest volcanic lake in Europe. It’s sometimes called Italy’s belly button. This calm lake has plenty of beaches on its shore, most of which have volcanic sand and some pebbles. While the lake is colloquially known as Il Lago che Si Beve (the lake you can drink) it’s probably best if you stick to bottled water from your backpack.

Whichever way you want to get acquainted with Bolsena, the best way is not from land but the water itself. Boat trips between the towns on the lake are a popular way to enjoy it.

However, if you want something a little more hands-on, try stand up paddleboarding. The lake is rarely crowded which is why it’s a great place for beginner SUPers. The best time is in the morning when the lake is usually crystal clear, still, and calm. If you’re new to SUPing, you’re one of many. It’s the fastest-growing watersport in the world. It’s also a great workout for your core. After you’ve mastered the basics, you could even give SUP yoga or fishing a go. To find out more about stand-up paddleboarding, have a look at Gili Sports .

Not only can you enjoy stand up paddleboarding on Lake Bolsena, but also other water sports such as kitesurfing, fishing, and foiling.

Now for one of the most unique attractions in Lazio. Il Parco dei Mostri (The Park of Monsters) is hidden away in the town of Bomarzo, around 20km northeast of Viterbo. It was built in the 16th century by Prince Pier Francesco Orsini as a memory to his wife who he found had died on his return from war.

The park is packed with sculptures including fighting giants, mythical creatures, and a tilted house. The most famous though is the “mouth of hell”. If you enter the screaming mouth and whisper, those outside will be able to hear your conversation clearly. It’s good to know that before you stop for dinner at the picnic table inside and complain about other tourists in the park.

Parco dei Mostri is not the only Renaissance garden in Lazio. In the town of Bagnaia, you’ll find the Villa Lante Garden. It’s known as a water garden and there are numerous fountains around which put the visitor in mind of a rushing river.

The gardens were built around the same time as Bomarzo’s monster park, and the most impressive feature is the stone dining table. The Cardinal Alessando Montalto (who completed the gardens) would host dinner parties here and wine would be chilled in the water trough in the center of the table.

While you can’t dine at the table now, it’s an impressive sight. And the surrounding gardens are a lovely place for a picnic with a loved one or a group of friends.

Right in the north of Lazio, almost on the border with Umbria, you’ll find one of the most stunning borghi in all of Italy. Civita di Bagnoregio sits precariously perched atop a cliff, with only one way in and out – the Devil’s Bridge. Part of the magic of this place is when you view it from far away, it disappears behind the clouds.

Civita di Bagnoregio became known as the Dying City, and has been threatened by earthquakes and landslides since the 17th century. As recently as 2015, medieval properties have fallen into the ravine below. The town has reversed its fortunes in recent years and now attracts more than 800,000 tourists annually.

While the village is undoubtedly most spectacular from far away, it’s still a good idea to support the village and its tourism. Civita di Bagnoregio relies on it as there is no school, supermarket, or even a post office up here. There are some jaw-dropping views though of the surrounding canyon – which you won’t have too much trouble finding. There are also a couple of cafes and B & Bs which prove popular with tourists.

Lazio is not as revered as some other parts of Italy when it comes to beaches (specifically thinking of Sardinia and Sicily), but it can still hold its own. In fact, there are several beaches that are an easy day trip from Rome. Ostia is the most popular – and technically it’s within Rome’s city limits. However, it can be expensive and the sea isn’t the cleanest for swimming.

If you have the luxury of a car (or even just a little more time), here are some other options for a memorable beach trip. Sperlonga is said to be the best beach near Rome, boasting both clean waters and gorgeous sandy bays where you can easily bathe and top up your tan. There are lots of services nearby such as restaurants and bars too.

The sleepy town of Santa Marinella is another option – especially if you want a quiet day at the beach. This town attracts a lot of Roman retirees and it’s easy to get here from Roma Ostiense station.

If none of the beaches above pique your interest, other beautiful Lazio beaches include Anzio, Santa Severa, Fregene, and Gaeta.

As long as you are taking the train to Ostia you can also visit the ancient Roman seaport of Ostia Antica which is a large archeological site just north of the modern city. This is an extensive site and great to visit with a guide who understands the history and culture of the ancient Romans.

Bolsena isn’t the only picturesque volcanic lake near Rome. On the train line between Rome and Viterbo, look out at the right moment to see a sparkling expanse of blue being watched over by an ancient castle. And that’s Bracciano. You might be surprised to learn that it’s actually the 8th largest lake in Italy.

The Orsini-Odescalchi Castle dates back to the 15th century and it began life as a residence for two papal families. Despite that, it has a surprisingly bloody history (although that’s less surprising when you find out one of the families was the Borgias). You can learn about the castle’s past by taking a tour of the recently restored monument. In the castle’s more recent history, it hosted the wedding of Hollywood superstars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in 2006.

After taking a tour of Bracciano’s castle, head down to the lakeside where there are several paid beaches. You can sunbathe here or even take a pedalo out onto the lake. Other water sport activities are available too, such as stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, and even scuba diving. Whichever you choose to do, make sure not to disturb the lake’s swans. They can be pretty vicious!

Whenever writing about Italy, it is only a matter of time before one can mention the food. The regional cuisine of Lazio might be simple, but it’s delicious. We’re not looking at pizzas here, it’s more hearty meat-based dishes.

For starters, the traditional choice is usually between bruschette or carciofi alla romana (Roman-style artichokes), which is then followed with a pasta course of spaghetti cacio e pepe, or mouthwatering carbonara. Main courses included baked lamb with herbs, or saltimbocca (veal wrapped with ham). If you still have any room after this hearty fare, then, of course, there are beautiful desserts too.

No meal in Lazio is complete without wine, and those best known in the region include Frascati and Montefiascone. Whether in the center of Rome’s hustle and bustle or at the only restaurant in a small countryside village, you’re sure to have your food cravings satisfied and more.

Spanning three regions of Italy, Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise is one of the best places in Italy for wildlife watching. This untouched area is home to some of the rarer mammals in Europe, including the Mariscan Brown Bear and the Italian wolf. While there’s an element of luck in spotting these animals, something you’re almost sure to see is the Abruzzo Chamois – a cross between a goat and deer which had almost died out when the national park was established. There are now more than 2,000 in the wild.

Even for tourists who aren’t crazy about wildlife, the park is well worth a visit. The miles of hiking trails allow you to totally disconnect from the stress of everyday life. Visitors to this national park can also enjoy bear tracking, wolf howling, horse riding, donkey trekking, and cycling.

Other beautiful outdoor spaces in Lazio include the National Park of Circeo (a UNESCO biosphere reserve) and La Riserva Naturale Monte Rufeno on the borders of Tuscany and Umbria.

The Lazio region is part of the territory in which the ancient Etruscan civilization thrived. The Etruscans pre-dated the Romans and flourished for around 500 years beginning in the 8th century BC. Many important Etruscan sites can be seen across Lazio, one of the best known being the coastal city of Tarquinia, where there is an Etruscan necropolis.

Slightly closer to Rome is the town of Sutri, where there are 64 Etruscan tombs. You can get there in under an hour from the capital.

Let’s end with another of the easiest day trips from Rome – the town of Tivoli. The original Tivoli Gardens are not in Copenhagen, but in fact on a hilltop town just east of Rome. Visitors will find not one, but two UNESCO World Heritage sites – the Villa Adriana and the Villa d’Este. The town was a retreat for Rome’s great and powerful throughout history – Adriana is the estate of Ancient Rome’s emperor Hadrian. Villa d’Este came along much later – in the 16th century. Nowadays, visiting either of these is an easy way to escape from Rome’s noise and traffic.

Final Thoughts on things to do in Lazio

Whether you want to explore the significant historic attractions of the capital city Rome, enjoy authentic local food, or bathe in volcanic hot springs, Lazio can offer all of that and so much more. It’s really worth looking just beyond the capital city when you travel to Italy, as you’re likely to fall in love with this incredible region.
