Itineraries in Lazio

What to see in a trip to Lazio

Lazio is one of the most visited regions of Italy due to the presence of Rome, but a holiday in the area gives a lot more: a travel itinerary in Lazio can go from historic villages to the mountains up to some of the smaller islands Belle d'Italia.
A destination that we can't recommend? Here it is:
- The spectacular Pontine Islands (found described about in the middle of the linked article) .
For the rest ... Read on below: )
For example, by Viterbo Someone is even forgotten that it exists, a bit like the Molise , but the Viterbo It actually offers to see tourists. The Natural Park Marturanum presents canyons and caves in the tuff as well as some beautiful waterfalls. In this part of Lazio there are some beautiful villages on the hills of Tufo, including the splendid Civita di Bagnoregio , the "country that dies", a nickname Lugubre for a fantastic village perched at the top of a cucazzolo that He is slowly frozen. Another beautiful village on the tuff is trimmed.

The Parco dei Monsters of Bomarzo is instead one of the strangest things you can see in a holiday in Lazio: in the midst of the woods, sculptures of the 1500 animal representatives appear in the midst of the woods and, precisely monsters.
After walking in the countryside, the Terme di Viterbo can provide a good time of relaxation.
The waterfalls are not lacking in Lazio: the medieval village of Tivoli and that of Island Liri have a waterfall even in the village. In Tivoli, of course, there is much more, including Roman remains and Villa d'Este.
Going to the sea, the white houses and the beaches of Sperlonga have a particular charm, while The National Park of the Circeo is worth the trip both for the coves where to bathe both for the paths, but also for the Roman ruins and the caves.

The Archipelago Pontino falls under the province of Latina (yes, the provinces continue to exist) and presents some of the most beautiful islands in Italy. Ponza has a nice village and colorful awesome cliffs including those near the beach of Chiaia di Luna , reachable only by sea today. Ventotene presents a Roman port to be seen absolutely, in addition to the possibility of swimming between tanks and channels built for fishermen of 2000 years ago ... really fascinating !! Finally, palmarola has a very clear water and is a bit the perfect wild islet.
To return to the fresh water, you can go on a trip on the lakes of Bracciano And by Bolsena , between hills and villages, or on the Aniene river, to then visit the village of Subiaco and the nearby Cascatelle. The Mountains of Lazio can be a destination for a trailer in the cool or for a vacation on the snow: the highest are those of the Abruzzo National Park, Lazio and Molise, while the Mountain of Rome by definition is the Monte Terminiillo .
ah, and to conclude there Rome , one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with a unique story. Millions of tourists the year visit it for its famous monuments and there is always something to discover in its incredible historical center.

What to do in a trip to Lazio

How written in the paragraph on the "What to see", the first thing to do in Lazio is to visit all the wonderful places, some of the Which are also paradises for trekking and sea activities.
The Way of San Benedetto allows hiking between hills, rivers and medieval villages. The Circeo and the Apennines are other splendid destinations for trekking.
On the Pontine Islands we have written so much, and in enthusiastic terms, on this page at Ponza, Ventotene and palmarola in a sailboat ). In addition to sailing, you can get to Ponza or Ventotene by ferry, and then maybe explore the coasts of the Pontine archipelago with beautiful trips in Canoe , in stand up paddle or, More comfortably, in inflatable boat .

Also the urban trekking (to use a term that makes cool) is a very good solution to spend time to Rome, where you can literally walk for hours always perccorretting a road or a different and beautiful alley . You can study different itineraries or go, simply, at random.
For winter activities, I recommend trips to the mountains, equipped with Skiing or snowshoes , to the Terminillo As on the other mountains of the Apennines.
As in all regions, even in Lazio we eat well, perhaps in a typical trattoria of Trastevere or, even better, in the smaller and less known villages . You can try a good cheese and pepper, of the Bucatini at Amatriciana or a first carbonara, then saltimbocca alla Romana, the abbot or the tail to the vaccinara of a second, with a contour of artichokes to the Judea.

How to travel in Lazio

when to go and move to Lazio? The answer to these questions is linked to what you want to do and see. Rome is to avoid by car, go to the train or by bus and then exploit the subway.
To explore the rest of Lazio, it is convenient to have the car or motorcycle (except obviously nautical means for the Pontine Islands) . (To rent a car here at the best prices for your travel itinerary Advice from Search and book at this link ).

For a holiday in Rome, exclude the hot summer and take advantage of the long days of spring or the cool of the early autumn. Trekking is an activity from all seasons, but in summer on the Circeo you make trails that allow you to cool off with a nice dive! Finally, for skiing and trips on the snow go to August. No, joke, trivial you have to opt for the winter months :) good trip and good hikes!
