Short getaways around Rome: Food & Drink, Cultural & Historical Experiences

Many tourists visit Rome for just one or two days and miss out on the stunning beauty of the countryside near Rome. Just an hour outside the city, you can explore charming towns, ancient Roman ruins, imperial palaces, medieval villages, and unspoiled landscapes.

The Roman countryside has been intertwined with the city’s history since ancient times. The origins of Rome are tied to the surrounding towns, where shepherds lived long before the city’s founding. Over the centuries, these hills became home to grand estates and palaces. Today, visiting these towns offers a chance to explore a region celebrated in art, history, and culture.

Let us create a personalized itinerary for your Rome countryside tour, discovering rich cultural experiences and natural beauty.
