Lazio: Northern Lazio
built 605 days ago
Naturally, Lazio - heart of the Roman Empire - is chock-full of archaeological sites. Before the Romans, the northern part of Lazio was dominated by the Etruscan civilisation. The Etruscans didn't leave many traces of their lives, but their deaths are recorded in famous burial grounds. The necropolis at Cerveteri is composed of many 'streets' of stone tombs, while the burials at Tarquinia are notable for their painted decorations. More, smaller Etruscan sites can be visited around Viterbo, while the best grave goods and artefacts are on display in the Villa Giulia in Rome. After the major Roman sites and museums in Rome, one of the best archaeological sites in the area is Ostia Antica, Rome's ruined port. Major temple complexes can be visited in Palestrina and Terracina, where a massive temple overlooks the sea.

Rome is the main hub of communications, with its two airports, Ciampino and Fiumcino, putting Lazio firmly on the holiday map. Rome lies at the intersection of the cross country A24 highway and the north-south A1. The A1 is ... within easy reach of Bolsena, Viterbo and the towns and villages of northern Lazio, and eventually motors in to Umbria. The A12 coastal motorway provides excellent access to the beaches and resorts of the Tyrrhenian coastline.
