Things to do in Civitavecchia, Italy

Civitavecchia is Lazio's working port city, and its character comes from that: a morning fish and produce market, a seafront promenade locals actually use, and a historic centre that rewards an hour on foot before any ship departs. Food is the easiest way in, whether through the Civitavecchia Market Food Tour with Wine & Cheese or the longer Civitavecchia: Historical and Culinary Walking Tour, which pairs the old town's Roman and papal layers with tastings. Many travellers also use the port as a springboard, with day trips running to Rome and to hill towns such as Civita di Bagnoregio.
