The list of exciting towns in Lazio is very long. When focusing on historic wealth from the Roman era, Rome is obviously top of the list. But Rome is grand in many ways. The atmosphere is unique. Piazzas, cafés, restaurants, stylish boutiques and awareness of its own historic value make Rome a fantastic city.
Another exciting and wonderful town is Tarquinia with its Etruscan frescos, palaces and lovely countryside. To the south Terracina enjoys splendid sandy beaches, plenty of atmosphere and a beautiful location.
Ostia Antica is also worth a visit if you want to see Roman monuments. Smaller towns like Sperlonga, Gaeta, and Minturno with the Roman theatre are also interesting because they combine atmosphere, history and sea. Viterbo in the northern and more central part of the region is a good place to visit, and Frascati is also worth seeing.
