Civitavecchia Port Shuttles

An hour west of Rome, the isolated Civitavecchia Port offers cruise attendees a first-hand glimpse at West Italy’s old 15th-century town of Civitavecchia. Resting along the coast of Rome, the city offers glimpses of vast 16th-century landmarks alongside a myriad of theme parks, beaches and narrow alleys leading to old theaters and exhibits. Keep close to the small town of Civitavecchia by sticking to one of many modes of public transportation as well, whether that means departing from the Civitavecchia Train Station toward Italy’s capital or getting a glimmery boat ride across the Tyrrhenian Sea via the Civitavecchia Ferry Terminal. Other ways to keep things relaxed include a wide variety of private rentals ranging from small sedans are perfect for solo drives along the coastal SS1 Via Aurelia, to spacious SUVs that can safely fit half a dozen for group trips into the country’s central Bracciano Martignano Regional Natural Park.

Upon cruise arrivals, find the coolest things to do by starting with what’s closest to the terminal, whether that means hanging out by the water at the city’s central Fruit Beach or walking through history at the much closer Roman Dock and its ancient cobblestoned lookouts. Slightly further landmarks include Fort Michelangelo’s 16th-century walls of stone as well as the tranquil steps in front of the famous Fontana del Vanvitelli’s plaza and fountain. In the afternoon, rest easy with lunch somewhere special, industrial-rustic seafood found at the popular Pane Amore & Fantasia in downtown Civitavecchia, while Ristorante Taverna dell’Olmo offers exceptional oysters in an old hardwood setting. Distant landmarks can be found in the quiet oasis of the town’s eastern hills, from the popular Aquafelix Water Park’s waterslides and lazy rivers, to the theme park’s neighboring thermal baths of Terme Ficoncella and its therapeutic sunsets.
