    Civitavecchia Train station 1 mile south of cruise terminal
    You can go solo to the train station from cruise ship..the train station directly south of the terminal about a mile..if you take the cruise buss to exit the terminal it drops you off north of the port away from train station then you need cab to go back south..if you walk off the boat directly south there is a back gate towards the fort/Ferris wheel that gets you very close to the train station—walkable or short cab ride. We didn’t know and took the cruise buss north to a parking lot drop off then had to rent a cab which was only 10 euro anyways. Use the app OMIO to purchase train tickets it works best..no one ever checks tickets in Italy anyway

    Relax and walk
    We stayed just off the Main Street of the port city. We walked to see the ships as there are many on a daily basis in port. The city has a lot to see just walking around. Parking is an issue here as in all of Italy. There is a shopping area where cars are not allowed, plus there is a fabulous market for fresh food early in the morning. This is a great place to roam around in. Siesta time is from around 4 to 7. Then the restaurants open for dinner.

    Discovering Civitavecchia
    Italians are very appreciative of Americans and the service men that freed them in WWII. The big statue on the beach symbolizes this. There are some good coffee shops and small restaurants. There are some Roman ruins you can check out. Train is a fast convenient way to get to Rome. Taxi is an hour ride and will cost more than $100 one way. We enjoyed walking from the ship into down town, a 20 minute walk. Nice friendly town.

    Rome's Port for Cruises
    The port itself is basically a working shipping port which loads and unloads container ships and also serves all cruise lines that stop at "Rome". The port is roughly an hour away from Central Rome and from the Rome Airport. While you can arrange for transportation on the spot, I would strongly advise arranging transfer to the airport, especially, and to Central Rome thru your cruise line. It will cost you a bid more but they handle virtually everything and transport you in airconditioned buses. Not much to see or do in the adjacent town which would be a long walk from your ship.

    Easy day
    Having been through Civitavecchia Port on a number of occasions enroute to Rome et al my wife and I decided to spend the day within Civitavecchia itself and what a pleasant day it was. We did use the Hop on Hop off bus which gave us reasonable reach out of town to the historical ruins but to be frank every other point of interest was within easy walking distance of the cruise shuttle drop off point. The market behind the main church was a good visit where google translate came in handy but the “sailor and girl in every port” statue, beach side, was also an interesting area to visit. Enjoy

BOOK A RIDE IN ADVANCE. Taking the bus is also an easy option. I was not able to get an Uber. The taxis operating at the Cruise Port in Civitzvecchia are scamming and intimidating tourists. They only accept cash. They make you wait until there are six people going to the same place you’re going and charge each one 100 Euro. My driver started the meter once he got on the highway and it was only up to 180 Euro when he dropped me off. Our group had to pay 600 Euro. When I got out, he told me it was 150 Euro. I reminded him that he had originally said 100 Euro. He said, “fine, 120 Euro then.”

Person after person were standing there in disbelief at the prices they were trying to charge and that they would only accept cash.

Dump. Got there at noon cause we didn’t know when to embark. Sat in uncomfortable chairs in a crowded environment that was partially open to the environment and has to listen to trolleys and machines carrying luggage right next to us.

Pretty decent walk from train station to cruise port. But a lot to see in between with nice views of old buildings, ocean & many sculptures.

The Civitavecchia Pier is really lively all day long but especially at night. A rude vendor under one of the awnings along the water did not dampen our enjoyment of the pier's sights and sounds. All along the water you will find lots of restaurants. There is a Ferris wheel and a small amusement area for small children with some rides and bouncy houses. Can't miss the large iconic sculpture of the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square celebrating the end of WWII near the water. Such fun to find it in Civitavecchia.

A beautiful seaside to relax and get away from the fast pace of Rome. Lovely stroll along the beach. Fabulous seafood at seaside cafes
