Top Tip
In Frascati, wander around until you find a place serving fresh local wine and
porchetta
,
and settle down for a simple feast (preferably at trestle tables out on a cobbled street).
If you want to visit several towns but don't have your own transport, the easiest two to
see in a day are Frascati and Castel Gandolfo, as there is a bus linking the two.
