Most passengers head straight to the Eternal City, but the town itself has more going on than you'd expect from a transit hub. The harbour area has a 16th-century fortress designed by Michelangelo, and the old centre behind it has a grid of narrow streets with Italian bakeries, gelato shops, and a small fish market. Pebble beaches line the coast south of the port. The Amerigo Vespucci Terminal handles the logistics efficiently. Trains to Rome Termini leave from the station a short walk from the port gates, running roughly every hour. If you stay local, the Forte Michelangelo is worth a look, and the waterfront has a few decent trattorias where you can eat grilled octopus and pasta alle vongole without the Roman tourist markup. Taxis also wait by the terminal for the ride into Rome. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** EUR (Euro) - **Language:** fr, de, it - **Timezone:** Europe/Rome (UTC+1) - **Tipping:** Service often included; โ‚ฌ1-2 for good service ## Location Coordinates: 42.0985, 11.7823 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Civitavecchia%20(Rome)/@42.09854,11.78232,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Civitavecchia%20(Rome)&ll=42.09854,11.78232&z=13) ## Things to Do in Civitavecchia (Rome) Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~11h port call.
