Cerveteri
Explore
A town was established here around 9th century BC and just outside Cerveteri lies the only
architectural reminder of what was a great Etruscan city: an extraordinary, Unesco-listed
Etruscan burial complex, a haunting necropolis set around a grid of streets. Spend the
morning wandering around the curious townscape-of-the-dead, where you almost expect to
see hobbits pop out of the grassy mounds, then lunch in the appealing small town centre,
before completing your day with a visit to Cerveteri's fascinating Etruscan museum.

Top Tip
Don't miss Cerveteri's Etruscan museum, which provides context for the tombs and brings
the ancient era to life.
Getting There & Away

Bus
Take the Cotral bus (€3.90, 55 minutes, half-hourly) from outside the Cornelia
metro stop on metro line A. Buses leave Cerveteri for Rome from the main square. Bus G
runs hourly (roughly) between the main square and the Necropoli (€0.60, five minutes).
