Day 5:

Civitavecchia (Rome, Italy)

Arrival at the port of Civitavecchia at 07:00 and departure at 19:00. From here you can reach the historic city of Rome, which is 80km away. You can take a train, a bus or a taxi or opt for the most comfortable option and book one of the MSC excursions. If you choose to go on your own, the train is the fastest and cheapest way to get there. The station is just a 10-minute walk from the port of Civitavecchia and a train runs approximately every 15 minutes. The journey lasts between 47 minutes and 1 hour and 20 minutes, depending on the train you choose. Once in Rome, you can get off at the Roma Termini station, which is the most central.


Rome is a city with a large number of tourist attractions so, if you only have one day , it is better to focus on the most relevant monuments. Depending on the time you want to be in the city and the pace, you can decide to visit all the monuments or choose some of them and enjoy more time to sit and enjoy on a terrace or go shopping. If you have never visited Rome, it is best to start the day by visiting theColosseum. You can book your skip-the-line ticket or a guided tour to save time. It is a monument with so much history that we believe it is essential to go with a guide to know everything that happened in this gladiator amphitheater. Once you visit the Colosseum, visit the Roman Forum and the Palatine, where the emperors lived. Then you can go to the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II, the Venice Square and get closer to the Navona Square where the Fountain of the Four Rivers is located, and the Church of Saint Agnes of Agony. From Piazza Navona, you can go to the Pantheon. To finish, you can't leave without throwing a coin into the famous Trevi Fountain. If you still have time and desire, you can visit the Vatican.
