ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI CATHEDRAL
balhannah Says: Where the Cathedral stands today, once stood a smaller Church. The City and population outgrew this Church, and a new one was built, which was the Cathedral I was viewing today. It was a simple Church until 1805, when the Church of San Francesco became the Cathedral of the...
balhannah Says: The Fort, you will see from the Cruise Ship, and will be the first major sight when being dropped off by the shuttle bus at the end of the Pier. When standing beside these walls, I realized just how massive they were, and even though I couldn't measure the thickness, I read...

Helpfulness
There are more than a few restaurants in Civitavecchia, some are more upscale than others. A family style restaurant that might be more for locals than tourists is ristorante Trattoria Sora Maria. English translation is Sister Mary. Is this a religious order running the restaurant. No, It was opened in the 1800's and run by the family and not the church. Well, the food is simple but tasty. Mostly seafood and the menu is quiet small. I found that this quaint restaurant did offer the ambiance of Italy and with a little glass of vino rosa, one can forgive the short list on the menu. The staff seems to be trying to please you from the minute you walk in. Seating is also a bit strange as the one section is colorful and more for lunch, while the main room is rustic with wine racks on the walls and a lovely stone arch.
Favorite Dish: Seafood is the house special and the seafood platter is a bit overwhelming but a nice selection of fish. The rissoto with seafood is also a satisfing dish. Sora Maria is open Tuesday thru Sunday for lunch and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday dinner as well.

Use Google Street View to navigate before the trip
jayrule Says: Before we rented our car after the cruise trip, I went on Google earth (street view) and veiwed the routes around Civitavecchia, Tarquina, and Ostia. When driving, I already had a picture in my mind of what to expect. On the day of the trip, even though I had never been to...
SWFC_Fan Says: Prior to taking a cruise in October 2012, we arrived in Civitavecchia on a train from Rome.The train journey from Rome San Pietro station to Civitavecchia took around 50 minutes and cost 4.60 Euros per person on a regional train.We then had to make our way from Civitavecchia...
SWFC_Fan Says: We made use of the train route between Rome and Civitavecchia when we took a Mediterranean cruise that departed from Civitavecchia in October 2012.The port at Civitavecchia is around 80km north-west of central Rome. The idea of taking a taxi on a journey of that distance...
balhannah Says: We walked to the Train station from the Port. Not a bad walk to do, and all flat going.Rome City is connected by two trains per hour to Civitavecchia. What we didn't realize, is they have 'FAST' and 'SLOW" Trains, and we happened to get onto the "slow" Train! On the way...
ARRIVING BY CRUISE SHIP TO VISIT ROME

TRANSFER BUS/TAXI/DRIVER WITH CAR
travelgourmet Says: Leaving or coming to the port of Rome, Civitavecchia, you have many options. The train being the least expensive, the Cruise Lines bus shuttle, a taxi or a driver with car. I have written a separate tip for the train and if you are traveling with little or no luggage, this...
travelgourmet Says: Tutti a bordo per Roma! All aboard for Rome! Just make sure the Train goes to the Roma Termini Station if you want the center of Rome. Going to Rome without luggage is a snap and also not expensive. When you get off the cruise ship in Civitavecchia, the Port of Rome, get on...
No luggage storage at Civitavecchia train station
SWFC_Fan Says: Please note: there is no luggage storage facility at Civitavecchia train station.In October 2012, we arrived back in Civitavecchia after a week long cruise. We had already spent a weekend in Rome prior to the cruise, so we hoped to explore somewhere else nearby on the free...

An experience to pass on...
Reserved a taxi for 4 adults + luggage to make a round trip from the Ciampino airport to the port of Civitavecchia (where the cruises depart) with the company ROME-SHUTTLE (negotiated 235 euros); they have a web site: http: // www.rome-shuttle.com/
They never came!!! And when we called them, the woman answered that we never reserved a taxi !!!
Unfortunately, I gave my VISA card number to make the reservation and I’m afraid that this company use my card...
What shall I do?
Other info: we easily caught a taxi from the airport, and the prices are cheaper than those practised by the taxi companies found on internet: 100 to 120 euros one way (I made 5 quotations before leaving: the prices varies from 130 to 180 euros one way).
