DAY TRIPS FROM ROME
The surrounding Lazio region harbours some exceptional sights, most within easy day-trip distance of
the capital. Nearest of all are the beautifully preserved ruins of
Ostia Antica
, ancient Rome's main
port town. To the east of Rome, and easily accessible by bus or car,
Tivoli
is home to
Villa Adriana
,
the vast summer residence of the emperor Hadrian, and
Villa d'Este
, famed for its fabulous foun-
tains. Slightly further afield, Lazio's Etruscan treasures are quite special. The easiest to get to are in
Cerveteri
, but push on up to
Tarquinia
and you'll be rewarded with some truly amazing frescoed
tombs. On Rome's southern doorstep, the charming town of
Frascati
is popular with day-tripping Ro-
mans who come to take the hilltop air and taste the local
porchetta
(herb-roasted pork) and white
wine.
