Located between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Tolfa Mountains, in the metropolitan area of Rome, Civitavecchia is a huge port that welcomes cruise ships and sailboats in Italy. Most luxury Mediterranean cruises make a stop here. Passengers can then go on excursions to the small canyons, between the sea and the mountains. Others prefer to travel along the north coast to enjoy the bays and small gulfs with rocky bottoms, as well as the fine sandy beaches. In view of the attractions of the region, a yacht charter from Civitavecchia is naturally synonymous with an idyllic stay.
A stopover in this city also offers the opportunity to visit Rome and the Vatican, located about an hour and a half away by road. Civitavecchia itself has some interesting cultural and historical sites, such as the Michelangelo Fort, which was completed in 1557 by the man who painted the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.
The 17th-century cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi is another interesting building with Baroque-Neoclassical architecture. A visit to the archaeological museum is a must to discover the Etruscan and Roman collections from the region's archaeological sites. And to recharge your batteries, the thermal baths to the north of the city, known as Terme di Traiano, are just the ticket.
