Start Your Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia with Rome's Iconic Squares

Your journey begins with a morning exploration of Rome’s most beautiful and famous squares, without the stress of navigating through packed tourist attractions like the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, or the Pantheon with long lines and impossible-to-find tickets.

Stroll through Colosseum Square

Begin your adventure at the majestic Colosseum Square. Although you won't be entering the Colosseum itself, the view from the outside is nothing short of spectacular. Here, you can take in the grandeur of this ancient amphitheater, imagining the gladiatorial battles and events that once took place within its walls. The surrounding area is steeped in history, offering stunning photo opportunities with the Colosseum as your backdrop.

Nearby, don't miss the imposing Arch of Constantine, the triumphal arch commemorating Emperor Constantine's victory over Emperor Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge.

 

Explore Piazza della Rotonda

Next, head to Piazza della Rotonda, home to the architectural marvel that is the Pantheon. This ancient temple-turned-church is one of the best-preserved buildings of ancient Rome. Its impressive portico with massive columns and its famous dome, featuring an oculus that opens to the sky, are a testament to Roman engineering prowess. The square itself is bustling with life, and you can take a moment to enjoy the scene while sipping a coffee from one of the nearby cafes.

 

 

Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain

No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at the Trevi Fountain. Located in the heart of the city, this Baroque masterpiece is renowned for its stunning sculptures and the legend that promises a return to Rome if you toss a coin into its waters. The fountain's cascading waters and the intricate details of its design make it a must-see attraction. Here, you can participate in the tradition and make a wish, ensuring your return to this enchanting city.

 

Visit Piazza Navona

Continue to Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most famous squares. This elegant piazza is built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian and is now a lively gathering place filled with artists, performers, and bustling cafes. At its center is the breathtaking Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Bernini, surrounded by two other beautiful fountains. The square's vibrant atmosphere and baroque architecture provide a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing break with a refreshing drink.

 

Ascend the Spanish Steps

Conclude your morning exploration at the iconic Spanish Steps. This grand staircase, comprising 135 steps, leads up from the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti church. The Spanish Steps are a popular spot for both tourists and locals to enjoy the scenery. The piazza at the base of the steps is adorned with the Barcaccia Fountain, attributed to Bernini. Here, you can capture stunning photos, enjoy the lively ambiance, and indulge in a refreshing gelato from one of the nearby shops.

 

 

Escape the Heat and Crowds: Head to the Countryside

As the sun reaches its peak and Rome's streets become hot and crowded, it's time for a refreshing change of scenery. Your personal English-speaking driver will whisk you away from the city’s hustle and bustle to the tranquil and serene Italian countryside. No wonder tours to the Roman Countryside from Civitavecchia are so popular in the summer!

 

Discover the Medieval Village of Ceri

Your destination is the enchanting medieval village of Ceri, a hidden gem that feels like a step back in time. Nestled atop a hill, Ceri is a small village characterized by its cobblestone streets, ancient stone buildings, and picturesque landscapes. The drive itself is a scenic journey through the lush, rolling hills of the Roman countryside, offering a beautiful contrast to the urban sights of Rome.

 

Enjoy a Delightful Lunch at a Traditional Trattoria

Upon arriving in Ceri, you'll be welcomed by the village's peaceful ambiance and historic charm. Here, you’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch at a traditional trattoria. These family-run establishments are known for their warm hospitality and home-cooked meals, providing an authentic taste of Italian cuisine. Indulge in regional specialties made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, accompanied by a selection of fine local wines. Whether it's a hearty pasta dish, succulent meats, or a simple but flavorful antipasto, your meal will be a delightful culinary experience.

 

Explore the Village’s Rich History and Culture

After lunch, take some time to explore the village. Ceri is rich in history, with origins dating back to the Etruscan period. Wander through its narrow, winding streets, and you'll find yourself transported to another era. Visit the Church of the Madonna of Ceri, a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture with stunning frescoes that narrate stories from the village's past.

The village’s elevated position provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making it a perfect spot for taking photos or simply relaxing and soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. The peace and quiet of Ceri offer a stark but welcome contrast to the busy streets of Rome, allowing you to recharge and enjoy the slower pace of rural Italian life.

 

 

Discover the Majestic Bracciano Castle

After a delightful lunch in the serene village of Ceri, your journey continues to one of Italy's most impressive medieval fortresses—the Bracciano Castle. Situated majestically above the pristine volcanic crater Lake Bracciano, this historic castle offers a captivating blend of architectural grandeur, intriguing history, and breathtaking natural surroundings.

Upon arrival at Bracciano Castle, you'll be struck by its imposing presence against the backdrop of Lake Bracciano. Step inside this well-preserved fortress, where you'll wander through its grand halls adorned with masterpiece paintings, ornate furniture, and historic artifacts. As you explore the castle's interior, you'll feel transported back in time, imagining the lives of the nobility who once inhabited these magnificent chambers.

One of the highlights of visiting Bracciano Castle is the breathtaking panoramic views it offers of Lake Bracciano and the surrounding countryside. Climb up onto the castle's ramparts or towers, and you'll be rewarded with sweeping vistas of the shimmering lake below and the verdant hills beyond. The cool breeze off the lake provides a welcome respite from the summer heat, allowing you to relax and appreciate the natural beauty of this scenic locale.
