There\u2019s no shortage of attractions and places to visit in Rome, with the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/vatican-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vatican City<\/a>, the Sistine Chapel, and the Colosseum being must-see attractions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nRome can also make an excellent base from which to explore more of Italy. As the country\u2019s capital, it has fantastic public transport links to other major cities. Plus, its central position allows for access to popular destinations in both northern and southern Italy. In this travel guide, we\u2019ve compiled a list of the 12 best day trips to consider during your Roman vacation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step Back in Time with Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Pompeii.jpg\" alt=\"Ruins,Of,The,Antique,Temple,Of,Apollo,With,Bronze,Apollo\" class=\"wp-image-7494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Pompeii.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Pompeii-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Pompeii-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/xantana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boris Stroujko<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from Rome:<\/strong> 150 miles\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to get there: <\/strong>Train and bus\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Pompeii is an ancient Roman city situated 14 miles southeast of Naples. In 79 AD, nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/campania\/ercolano\/mount-vesuvius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mount Vesuvius<\/a> erupted and destroyed the city with volcanic debris and blistering gases.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nPompeii remained buried beneath a thick layer of ash and pumice until it was unearthed in the 1700s. The city was incredibly well preserved and offers fascinating insights into ancient Rome. In 1997, along with nearby <strong>Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata<\/strong>, Pompeii was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nPompeii is well worth a day trip for the chance to see ancient homes, temples, stadiums, public squares, mosaics, and wall paintings. Opt for a guided walking tour to avoid missing the key sights. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> If you head all the way out to Pompeii, it makes sense to incorporate a visit to Mount Vesuvius itself. It\u2019s an impressive sight both from its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitpompeiivesuvius.com\/en\/e\/vesuvius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foot and its peak<\/a>. The hike up is around 2.5 miles, and it\u2019s a fairly easy trail. The ash-covered ground can be slippy underfoot, so wear suitable shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe best way to visit is via train. It takes around two hours to get there, but if you use high-speed trains, the journey is closer to 70 minutes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThere are public buses from Pompeii to Mount Vesuvius. Alternatively, you can find coach tours that depart from either Pompeii or Naples. If you\u2019d like an organized day tour of both Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, many depart from Naples or from Rome itself if you\u2019d prefer to avoid the train.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Witness Exquisite Natural Beauty on the Amalfi Coast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Amalfi-Coast.jpg\" alt=\"Witness Exquisite Natural Beauty on the Amalfi Coast\" class=\"wp-image-7496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Amalfi-Coast.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Amalfi-Coast-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Amalfi-Coast-768x345.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/ig0rzh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IgorZh<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from Rome:<\/strong> 175 miles\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Car, train, bus, or boat\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/amalfi-coast\">Amalfi <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/amalfi-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coast<\/a> is one of southern Italy\u2019s most popular destinations thanks to its incredible natural beauty. The stretch of coastline overlooks the <strong>Tyrrhenian Sea<\/strong> and the <strong>Gulf of Salerno<\/strong>. A drive along it offers fabulous views of the sun-kissed <strong>Bay of Naples<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In 1997 the Amalfi Coast was designated a<a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/830\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/a>.

The town follows the natural incline of the mountain to create a vertical landscape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nA popular way to see the Amalfi Coast from Rome is to hire a car and drive there. However, the journey takes around 3.5 hours each way and is daunting in places where the winding coastal road hugs the mountainside 400 feet up. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nA better option is to take a fast train to Naples or Salerno, followed by a public bus or private coach tour to reach the coastline.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nAn alternative way to view the Amalfi Coast is by boat. Boat tours depart from the Piazza Concordia regularly in Salerno. They offer fabulous views of the rugged coastline and pretty small towns from the water below. You can also board tours from Naples. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Many full-day boat tours include stops in Positano, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/campania\/ravello\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ravello<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/campania\/amalfi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amalfi<\/a> town itself, giving you chance to explore these picturesque destinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Escape to Paradise on the Island of Capri<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Island-of-Capri.jpg\" alt=\"Escape to Paradise on the Island of Capri\" class=\"wp-image-7498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Island-of-Capri.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Island-of-Capri-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Island-of-Capri-768x478.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/bloodua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sergii Figurnyi<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from Rome:<\/strong> 130 miles\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to get there: <\/strong>Train and boat\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe island of Capri sits in the <strong>Tyrrhenian Sea<\/strong>, where the beautiful coastal town of <strong>Sorrento<\/strong> overlooks it. The main town of Capri is famed for its limoncello, charming shops, and exquisite cafes and restaurant. The smaller town of <strong>Anacapri<\/strong> is home to <strong>Villa San Michele<\/strong>. This boasts beautiful gardens with spectacular views of <strong>Marina Grande<\/strong> and the rugged Amalfi coastline.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nA highlight of Capri is the ruins of the magnificent <strong>Villa di Tiberio<\/strong>, which was built by Emperor Tiberius, who vacationed on the island. If you have time, you should also take a boat to the renowned <strong>Blue Grotto<\/strong>. This sea cave has a unique blue glow created by the passing of sunlight through an underwater cavity.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> It\u2019s quite a task to get to Capri from Rome with enough time to see all the island has to offer within a day. To optimize your schedule, take a high-speed train from Rome\u2019s Termini station to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/metropolitan-city-of-naples\">Napl<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/metropolitan-city-of-naples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/metropolitan-city-of-naples\">s<\/a>, then a taxi to one of the ferry terminals in Naples. High-speed ferries depart from <strong>Molo Beverello<\/strong>, and these take about 40 minutes to reach Capri. Other ferries depart from <strong>Calata di Massa<\/strong>, but these take between 50 and 80 minutes. The whole journey takes around three hours each way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nAn alternative is to book an organized day tour from Rome. These involve a coach ride to Naples followed by a boat ride to Capri. This is a convenient option if you don\u2019t want the hassle of hopping on and off trains and taxis, but it may leave you with less freedom to explore Capri at your own pace.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traverse the Rolling Hills of Tuscany and Florence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolling-Hills-of-Tuscany-and-Florence.jpg\" alt=\"Traverse the Rolling Hills of Tuscany and Florence\" class=\"wp-image-7500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolling-Hills-of-Tuscany-and-Florence.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolling-Hills-of-Tuscany-and-Florence-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolling-Hills-of-Tuscany-and-Florence-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/Gaspar+Janos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gaspar Janos<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from Rome: <\/strong>162 miles\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Train\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visittuscany.com\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tuscany<\/a> is a famed region of Italy that is northwest of Rome.

The region is home to some of the best Italian attractions, including <strong>Siena, Lucca, the Leaning Tower of Pisa<\/strong>, and the beautiful city of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.italyguides.it\/en\/tuscany\/florence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Florence<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nFlorence is known as the birthplace of the Renaissance. It is full of architecture and artwork that exemplifies the Renaissance period. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nOne such example is <strong>Brunelleschi\u2019s Duomo<\/strong>, which is the huge dome that crowns the magnificent <strong>Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore<\/strong>. There\u2019s a variety of palaces, museums, and galleries to explore, with the Uffizi Gallery being particularly popular thanks to its enormous collection of art.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nIn Centro Storico, Florence\u2019s old town, you can see some of the best-known Italian Renaissance masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo, Donatello, Ghiberti, and Giotto. You can also check out Ponte Vecchio, the bridge across the Arno, which was originally built in 1218 and rebuilt in 1345 following a flood. Since then, the bridge has withstood centuries of flooding and a German invasion in World War II.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> It takes around 1.5 hours to reach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/tuscany\/florence\/1222\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florence<\/a> from Rome when you take a high-speed train.

Umbria is known as \u201cItaly\u2019s green heart.\u201d It is a rich agricultural region that is sparsely populated. The hilltop town of Orvieto is a striking destination with a 14th-century Gothic cathedral at its center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe interior and exterior of Orvieto cathedral are decorated with colorful and intricate mosaics, frescoes, stained glass, and sculptures. Inside, the <strong>Chapel of San Brizio <\/strong>features two exquisite frescoes by Luca Signorelli, who was an inspiration to Michelangelo. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nArt enthusiasts ought to follow up their visit to the cathedral with a trip to Palazzi Papali. This is a series of medieval palaces that display Orvieto\u2019s greatest proto-Renaissance artworks.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nFor insight into ancient Italian life, take a guided tour of the vast network of Etruscan-era caves, tunnels, and wells that sit beneath Orvieto\u2019s streets. Then, go forward in time to explore the 16th-century <strong>St. Patrick\u2019s Well<\/strong>, which was a feat of engineering in its day. It was built to ensure that Pope Clement VII had an adequate water supply when he took refuge in Orvieto during the Sack of Rome in 1527.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe simplest way to visit Orvieto from Rome is by train. The journey takes just over an hour.

At the height of the Roman Empire, Tivoli was the summer destination of choice for emperors and nobility. The remains of some of these ancient summer villas, namely Villa Adriana,<a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Villa d\u2019Este<\/a>, and Villa Gregoriana, remain today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nVilla Adriana (Hadrian\u2019s Villa) is one of Italy\u2019s best-preserved archaeological sites. It was built at the bottom of the <strong>Tiburtine Hills<\/strong> by Roman Emperor Hadrian. The vast site covered around 300 acres in its heyday. It included baths, temples, barracks, and theaters. Today, only around 100 acres are accessible, but they give a strong impression of the luxury and magnificence of the original villa.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nAt Villa Gregoriana, you can explore parks, woodlands, grottoes, and waterfalls. Its Great Waterfall, created by the <strong>River Aniene<\/strong>, is one of the most beautiful in the world. The Gregorian Bridge connects the villa with the old town center of Tivoli. It provides fantastic views of the Aniene valley and the Acropolis of Tivoli.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nTrains to Tivoli from Rome take between 45 and 75 minutes.

Its position in the lush, rolling landscape of Tuscany makes it fertile and temperate enough for vineyards to thrive. The town itself is rich with Renaissance architecture and artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe historic center of Montepulciano is home to <strong>Piazza Grande<\/strong>, a huge square framed by Renaissance palazzos. The town hall (Palazzo Comunale) has an impressive Gothic-style facade. Opposite this is a cathedral that houses a series of intricate artworks from the 15th century. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nOn the outskirts of the town is the <strong>Temple to the Madonna di San Biagio<\/strong>. Built between 1518 and 1548, it was deemed a triumph of architecture. The temple was used as inspiration for Michelangelo\u2019s St. Peter\u2019s Basilica in Rome.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nYou can\u2019t visit Montepulciano without sampling some of the region\u2019s wines. Vino Nobile is a red wine produced from grapes grown in the town\u2019s surrounding vineyards.

This is why vineyards are so successful here and why the ancient Romans were so attracted to the area.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe air is fresher and cooler in Castelli Romani than in central Rome. This makes the area a popular escape for many Roman locals and a great spot for a day trip for tourists. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/lazio\/frascati\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frascati<\/a> is one of the region\u2019s most popular towns.

It is built on 118 small islands that are linked by bridges. There is nowhere else quite like it, and although it\u2019s 365 miles away from Rome, for many, it\u2019s worth a day trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThere\u2019s a lot to see in Venice, so study the layout of the city and plan your itinerary in advance to optimize your time. The Vaporetto, the city\u2019s water bus system, is the cheapest way to get around. Look out for <strong>Santa Maria della Salute<\/strong>, a pretty Baroque church at the end of <strong>Dorsoduro<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThere are many museums to see in Venice, with the <strong>Peggy Guggenheim<\/strong> collection being a highlight. This waterside palace houses a large collection of unique contemporary art. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<strong>Galleria Dell\u2019Accademia<\/strong> is a great way to see Venice\u2019s history via paintings. All works predate the 19th century. Highlights include <em>Vitruvian Man<\/em> by Leonardo da Vinci and <em>The Hermit Saints<\/em> by Hieronymus Bosch.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe best way to reach Venice from Rome is by high-speed train, which takes around 3.5 hours. If you depart from Rome at 6.15 am on the Italo, you can be in Venice by 10 am. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThen, enjoy nine leisurely hours exploring the city before taking the 7 pm train home. It\u2019s best to make this trip outside of the popular summer season to avoid wasting hours queuing for attractions and restaurants.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn About St. Francis in His Hometown of Assisi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/St.-Francis-in-His-Hometown-of-Assisi.jpg\" alt=\"Learn About St. Francis in His Hometown of Assisi\" class=\"wp-image-7515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/St.-Francis-in-His-Hometown-of-Assisi.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/St.-Francis-in-His-Hometown-of-Assisi-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/St.-Francis-in-His-Hometown-of-Assisi-768x335.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/jlrphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canadastock<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from Rome:<\/strong> 109 miles\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Train or car\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> St. Francis, the patron saint of animals, was born in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/umbria\/assisi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assisi<\/a>. The basilica dedicated to him is one of Italy\u2019s most important places of pilgrimage for Christians.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nConstruction of the church started in 1228, two years after his death, in order that his remains could be guarded. It\u2019s a beautiful structure that combines Romanesque and Gothic styles. Subasio stone on the church\u2019s exterior has a pink hue during the day and glows white beneath the moon at night.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nInside the <strong>Basilica of St. Francis<\/strong> is a range of impressive frescoes painted by medieval masters such as Giotto, Cimabue, and Pietro Lorenzetti. The most famous of these is the collection by Giotto which depicts St. Francis\u2019 life, death, and posthumous miracles.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nAssisi has a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere with lots of medieval architecture to take in.

It was first established in the 7th century BC when it was used for trade and served as a base for the military. It steadily grew over several centuries until it became Rome\u2019s busy commercial port serving the entire Mediterranean. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nIt began to silt up after being abandoned with the fall of Rome, and this silt is what preserved the city so effectively. Today, Ostia Antica is a 250-acre park with extensive excavations to explore.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nA highlight of Ostia Antica is the theater of <strong>Marcus Agrippa<\/strong>, which is large enough to seat 3,000 people. You can also explore a wide array of houses, temples, and baths. The Forum baths were the nerve center of the city where people would gather to socialize. There are many detailed mosaics to see, which have been beautifully preserved.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nAlthough you can wander around Ostia Antica at your own pace, a guided tour with a local archaeologist will give you a greater understanding of the city\u2019s history. Since the site is so big, spending a full day here is easy. Note that the site is closed on Mondays, and opening hours are shorter in autumn and winter than in spring and summer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nYou can reach Ostia Antica by train. It takes just 20 minutes from the <strong>Piramide<\/strong> station, which you can reach on the <strong>Metro B<\/strong> line. Look out for a footbridge that crosses the motorway to walk from the station to the site itself.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day Trips to Remember from Rome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nRome is a city like no other, but it\u2019s only one of many incredible cities in beautiful Italy.
