Highlights
  • Infopoint di Largo della Pace - TERMINAL CRUISE SHUTTLE BUS. I’ll wait for you with a sign that says your name in “Largo della Pace snc” Civitavecchia. It is the meeting point and last stop of the port free shuttle bus (shuttle that picks up you from the boat).
  • Civita di Bagnoregio - Civita di Bagnoregio is located in Tuscia on the border between Tuscany and Lazio. Discover and Visit the dying city. It is called the dying city because the land on which it stands is slowly falling away and will inevitably disappear when the final pieces crumble into the spectacular Valle dei Calanchi below. Knowing this and knowing that nothing can be done to prevent it makes your visit all the more special, eternal and timeless. Be one of the last people to visit the village before it ceases to exist.

Connected to the rest of the world by a three hundred meter bridge, Civita di Bagnoregio is a charming village which will make you feel you are visiting a world that no longer exists. Made up of old houses, narrow streets and surrounded by beautiful landscapes, walk through this magnificently unique setting. The Romanesque Arch at the entrance to Civita was built by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago and all that remains of the Renaissance Palace is the facade, the rest collapsed into the canyon. Visit the largest Piazza: the site of donkey races on the first Sunday of June and the second Sunday of September. In the evening, the piazza is the place to be, as what’s left of the town socialises there. Visit Maria’s Garden, follow the main road to the far side of town to see a lovely garden with canyon views. After that transfer to Bomarzo

  • Parco dei Mostri - Discover the Monster Park with its beautiful and amazing stone -sculptures. At the end transfer to Civitavecchia and dropo off at the Terminal Cruise shuttle bus.

Beautiful views, peaceful - The views at the Dying City were stunning on the walk to the quaint village. Narrow streets lined with plants and flowers. A picturesque peaceful place to visit. The highlight of our trip. We were also surprised by Monster Park. We didn't research it beforehand but were pleasantly surprised. There were not that many people the day we went. A quiet stroll thru the park finding ancient statues throughout. If you're only in the area for the day, skip Rome and take this tour instead!
