Tarquinia: Entry Ticket + Roundtrip Transfer from Civitavecchia

Step into medieval Italy and ancient Etruscan history with this comprehensive day trip from Civitavecchia port. Your guided tour begins at Barriera San Giusto, the gateway to Tarquinia's perfectly preserved medieval centre, where narrow cobbled streets wind between centuries-old churches and original city walls.

The highlight is the Etruscan Archaeological Park, a remarkable underground world where reconstructed tombs and ancient dwellings bring this lost civilisation to life. Exhibits curated by Omero, known as "the last of the Etruscans", showcase authentic artifacts and recreated homes that reveal how people lived over 2,000 years ago. Your expert guide shares the stories behind each site, whilst multilingual audio guides ensure you don't miss any details.

With convenient roundtrip transfers from Civitavecchia port and three departure times available, this tour suits cruise passengers and day-trippers looking to explore one of Lazio's most historic towns. The combination of medieval architecture and Etruscan archaeology makes Tarquinia a fascinating alternative to busier tourist destinations.
