Welcome to Lazio

Lazio offers much more than just the showstopping city of Rome. Travelers venture out of Italy’s capital to explore Etruscan ruins in Cerveteri and Tarquinia, the ancient Roman city of Ostia Antica, Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este in Tivoli, the volcanic lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena, and the Castelli Romani’s hill towns and wineries. The Tyrhennian coastline to the west is lined with friendly resort towns for beach breaks while the Apennine peaks to the east is crisscrossed with high-altitude hiking and biking trails.

Montecassino Abbey (Abbazia di Montecassino)

1,336

Perched high on a mountaintop south of Rome, the Montecassino Abbey is notable both for its imposing architecture and for its long and turbulent history. One of the most important monastic complexes in Italy, the abbey draws architecture enthusiasts, history buffs, and Christian pilgrims by the thousands each year.More

Tours & Tickets

Lake Bracciano (Lago di Bracciano)

Thanks to its proximity to Rome, Lake Bracciano (Lago di Bracciano) has long been a popular retreat for city dwellers while remaining largely off the tourist radar. The medieval lakeside villages of Bracciano, Anguillara, and Trevignano have waterfront promenades and the lake waters are ideal for swimming, sailing, and water sports.More

Tours & Tickets

Villa Gregoriana Park (Parco Villa Gregoriana)

Home to a towering waterfall, ancient ruins, and thick woods dotted with caves and crisscrossed by scenic trails, the Villa Gregoriana Park (Parco Villa Gregoriana) is an idyllic retreat just outside Rome. Located in Tivoli, this Italian National Heritage Trust gem—along with nearby Villa d’Este—is an ideal day trip from the capital city.More

Tours & Tickets

Popes’ Palace (Palazzo dei Papi)

The Gothic Popes’ Palace (Palazzo dei Papi) was built for the popes who lived in Viterbo for a brief period in the mid-13th century. The palace’s elegant arched Loggia delle Benedizione is where newly elected pontiffs would greet the faithful after emerging from the Aula del Conclave, site of the first (and longest) papal conclave.More

Tours & Tickets

Trevignano Romano

Thanks to its proximity to Rome, Trevignano Romano on Lake Bracciano has long been a popular retreat from the city, and a strategic base for visiting the nearby medieval villages of Bracciano and Anguillara. The lakeside town boasts a waterfront promenade, and the lake is ideal for swimming, sailing, and water sports.More

All about Lazio

When to visit

Lazio is largely rural—with the notable exception of Rome, of course. The area is at its most beautiful in spring and fall, but summer is the busy season, as these wooded hills offer an easy escape from the oppressive heat of the capital city. Some visitors come for the International Festival of the Villas of Tusculum or for the area’s many summer food and wine events, but most are just looking to cool off in the countryside’s parks and volcanic lakes.

Getting around

Trains and buses run from Rome to many of the most popular destinations in the surrounding countryside. There are direct routes to Castel Gandolfo, Tivoli, Frascati, and Lake Bracciano; you’ll need to rent a car or book a private transfer to reach more remote highlights, including Bagnoregio, Montecassino Abbey, and Tarquinia. For a jaunt to Lazio’s Pontine Islands, take the train to Formia and hop a ferry to Ponza or Ventotene.

Traveler tips

Just half an hour south of Rome, the hilltop town of Ariccia is a mecca for knowledgeable gourmands. The city is famous for its porchetta, whole roast pig that is boned and stuffed with an aromatic mix of garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. There is a celebration dedicated to this pork delicacy, the Sagra della Porchetta, the first weekend of September, which includes music, dancing, markets, and (of course) towering porchetta sandwiches served on traditional rosetta buns.
