Civitavecchia

Italy's busiest cruise port, and a Roman spa town nobody gets off to see.

Most people meet Civitavecchia as a transfer to Rome. It is worth knowing that the town has Trajan-era thermal baths still fed by hot springs, a Michelangelo-designed fort on the harbour, and a market worth an hour before the coach leaves.
