Tarquinia, a small town in Italy's Lazio region, is a place where ancient history combines with the irresistible charm of the Mediterranean landscape. Only 90 kilometres from Rome, Tarquinia offers visitors an unforgettable experience full of culture, beauty and tranquillity.
One of the main reasons why you should visit Tarquinia is its rich historical heritage. The city was one of the most important centres of the Etruscan civilisation that preceded the Roman Empire. You can admire this heritage especially in the Necropolis of Monterozzi, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city and its surroundings also offer natural beauty and opportunities for relaxation. The Tyrrhenian Sea, which is nearby, invites you to visit the sandy beaches where you can enjoy peaceful days by the water. The local countryside is ideal for hiking and cycling, where you can discover the hilly landscape dotted with olive groves and vineyards.
Local restaurants and trattorias serve dishes such as pasta with wild boar or fish specialities, accompanied by a glass of excellent local wine.
