Rome - Trip Advice

Day Trips From Rome

If you want to get away from Rome, after experiencing a few days, visit these sites for more info:
Frommers (with info. on Cerveteri & Tarquinia, Fregene, Ostia, Palestrina, The Castelli Romani, Tivoli, Viterbo)
Enjoy Rome (additional info. on Sabaudia, Santa Severa (located in same municipality as Sta. Marinella), Napoli & Pompei)
Italy Heaven (info. on Sperlonga, Palestrina, Cerveteri, Frascati, Tivoli, Bagnaia, Terracina)

For other towns not covered in these sites worth a getaway:
Lago di Bracciano - 39km/24mi NW of Rome. Great weekend getaway. The website is very helpful and has a lot of info.
Capodimonte - Seaside town with spectacular scenery.
Montefiascone - For more info. on this town, go to any of these sites (unfortunately they're only in Italiano!). Montefiascone Turismo Site (Lots of links, plus photos), Comune di Montefiascone Site (More City Tourism Links) - Check to see if they've updated their site and have an English counterpart.
Norchia - Another ancient Etruscan town in Lazio. Not many websites, but visually stunning (do a Google image search). In fact, if you're interested in more Etruscan sites and ancient Tuscia (northern Latium/Lazio), visit this website.
