Lazio is home to some of the most significant remains of Roman civilization, but it is also a great place to visit if you want to enjoy the sea or the countryside, which is dotted with attractive towns and villages.
A visit to this region can’t be considered complete without a stop in Rome, the capital of Italy and literally an open-air museum. Rome is considered to be the “cradle of Western civilization and Christian culture”, and the hearth of the Catholic Church. Rome strikes the hearts of visitors from all over the world with its wonderful monuments, the amazing buildings and squares, the churches, its food – like carbonara pasta, pecorino or supplì. St Peter’s Basilica, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, the Trevi fountain: a never-ending list of unmissable attractions. In Rome, you can breathe history in every corner.
But Lazio region is much more than Rome! Tivoli is one of the most popular destinations with its unique villas: Hadrian’s Villa and the Renaissance Villa d’Este. You can choose between Etruscan tomb sites, stunning Romanesque churches, medieval towns and castles, sandy beaches and wild nature reserves, the lakes area. You will find 6 UNESCO heritage sites, which become 7 if we include the Vatican City. Are you excited to discover them?
