Day trip

• 1) Pompeii: a day trip, while it is a very full day, is very doable: You can amuse people on the train by your complete lack of luggage.
• 2) Frascati: one of the historic hill towns to the South East of Rome known as the Castelli Romani: This town has been a popular destination for centuries away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, and this is still true today. Famous worldwide for its white wine, Frascati is a relaxed hill town with a slower pace of life. Just 21km from Rome, Frascati is accessible by bus [47] or train. Trains run from Roma Termini approximately every hour, take about 30 minutes, and cost around € 2.
• 3) Ostia Antica, the ancient harbor and military colony of Rome: It is accessible by tube every 30 minutes from Stazione Piramide (near the Piramid). It is a monumental area a bit like the Roman Forum. But in Ostia Antica you can get an impression how a roman city looked like.
• 4) Villa d´Este in Tivoli, with its famous and glorious fountains: Check out the Emperor Hadrian´s Villa while you are out there.
• 5) The papal city of Viterbo, well known medieval and thermal destination (about 1 and half from Rome)

A good transportation system links the port to the Eternal City.
