Overview: car trip from Florence to Civitavecchia
If you're in Florence and you've explored the Renaissance architecture, magnificent art, and distinguished heritage the city is known for, but you want a change of pace, you should consider driving from Florence to Civitavecchia. Civitavecchia is wholly different from Florence and is one of the world's most visited and beautiful port cities, seeing more than five million visitors yearly.
Yet, despite seeing so many people, it's still overlooked as just a cruise port to get to places like Rome. But we promise it's one of the best places to visit if you want to enjoy an authentic Italian experience without contending with huge crowds. Civitavecchia offers travelers a historic port, a medieval center, mild weather, and numerous fun attractions and landmarks.
So, if you're interested, let Daytrip drive you by car to Civitavecchia. Our private door-to-door car service caters to travelers of all creeds. No matter when you want to plan your trip, we're ready and waiting to make your travel experience one of a kind.
About Civitavecchia
Civitavecchia is one of the oldest and modernized ports in Italy and the world. Millions of tourists embark and disembark to visit nearby attractions, but many don't realize that Civitavecchia is worth visiting. This coastal town in Italy has much to offer travelers, including historical and cultural significance. It is situated on the Tyrrhenian Sea and was founded as early as the 2nd century by the Roman emperor Trajan.
Unsurprisingly, like other towns in Italy, it was ruled by the Romans and flourished under their control for centuries. Today, the port retains some of its original features, like its Roman Dock, which you can see when visiting. However, the town wasn't always under Roman rule. In 828, Vandals attacked the town, and in 854, it was destroyed by the Saracens, leading the townspeople to flee to the Allumiere Mountains and seek protection within a town constructed by Roman Catholic Pope Leo IV.
Once the threat had receded, the townspeople returned to the old site, which is why Civitavecchia is known as the 'old city.' In the following centuries, the town grew again and was passed to the Kingdom of Italy in 1870. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most strongly fortified Papal states, three-fourths of the town was destroyed during World War II, leading to another rebuilding period—and rebuild it did.
Today, Civitavecchia is once more a flourishing port city. Visitors to the town can expect to visit cultural and historical landmarks and archeological sites that testify to the presence of many different civilizations and cultures inhabiting the area. There are churches commissioned by former Popes, Romanesque buildings that are left over from when the Romans ruled, and there are also many modern attractions and activities to explore.
From Florence to Civitavecchia: travel tips
Like most trips, it's important to remember a few travel tips and a trip from Florence to Civitavecchia is no different. Below, we've shared some of the top tips you need to keep in mind that will help you during your Italian road trip.
Be prepared to walk
If you're traveling through Italy and are going from Florence to Civitavecchia, you need to wear comfortable walking shoes. Most cities in Italy are incredibly walkable, so you'll find yourself walking from one attraction to the next when you stop and sightsee along the way.
Learn a little Italian
Although not a travel requirement, it's an excellent idea to learn a little Italian if you're going to travel from Florence to Civitavecchia. You can learn a few basic words and phrases that will help you navigate attractions and landmarks while driving from one city to the next. If you drive with Daytrip, you can ask your professional English-speaking driver to teach you a few Italian words that will be helpful during your journey.
Don't forget about sightseeing
There are many sightseeing stops along the route from Florence to Civitavecchia, so it would be remiss of you not to add them to your travel itinerary. For example, you can stop and explore the medieval UNESCO-protected town of San Gimignano or wander up steep, twisty cobbled lanes in the beautiful Montepulciano before viewing countless creative sculptures at Sacro Bosco. No matter where you decide to go, Daytrip will get you there before dropping you off in Civitavecchia.
How to get from Florence to Civitavecchia
There are several ways to get from Florence to Civitavecchia, some faster and less expensive than others. We've shared the best options below to ensure you make the right decision regarding your transportation needs. Let's have a look.
From Florence to Civitavecchia by train
One of the most popular travel methods between these two cities is by train. Trenitalia is the train line that offers the most trips, with more than 15 offered daily from early morning to late evening. A ticket costs between $29 and $91, and depending on the train you book, you can expect the trip to take between three hours and 20 minutes and four hours and 50 minutes with limited stopovers and no room for exploring.
From Florence to Civitavecchia by bus
If you're on a budget, you can take the bus from Florence to Civitavecchia, with tickets costing less than a train or flight. However, you won't be able to go the entire way by bus. Unfortunately, you'll need to take a train from Florence to Rome and then a train trip with at least two stops before you arrive in Civitavecchia. The entire trip will take about four hours, but it'll likely feel like it was longer considering the change in transportation required and the numerous transfers.
From Florence to Civitavecchia by flight
Flying is another option, but there is no direct flight from Florence to Civitavecchia, and you shouldn't expect the trip to be faster than the train or driving—it’s actually the slowest option. To fly, you must take the train from the Rosselli train station in Florence to the Florence Airport.
Once at the airport, you'll fly to Rome. After arriving in Rome, you'll take another train to Civitavecchia. The entire trip takes about four and a half hours, not counting the 2 hours for check-in and security, and you should expect to pay upwards of $300 for a ticket.
From Florence to Civitavecchia by private car service
The best way to get from Florence to Civitavecchia is a private car transfer with Daytrip. If you travel with a private door-to-door service, you will not only get to Civitavecchia much faster – the average trip is about three hours – but you will also get to stop and sightsee at any of the towns and attractions along the way.
In addition, with Daytrip, you'll get to converse with an English-speaking driver who is well acquainted with the areas and can recommend a few local places to eat and visit to ensure an authentic Italian travel experience. Bookings are flexible, and you should expect to pay about $96 per seat, which is far more reasonable and cost-efficient than other travel options.
Things to do when you get to Civitavecchia
Since Civitavecchia isn't as popular as other Italian holiday destinations, it can be challenging to find out where to visit. That's why we've shared a few of the best attractions worth your time if you're driving from Florence to Civitavecchia. Each attraction caters to different travel styles, but there is something to do for everyone in this port town.
The Taurine Baths of Civitavecchia
If you want to visit some Roman ruins without the crowds, you must visit the Taurine Baths of Civitavecchia, also known as the Baths of Trajan.
These baths offer visitors a remarkable glimpse into what life was like during Roman times, with the ruins offering massage rooms, tanks, and different environments with decorative mosaics, friezes, and marbled stone. Moreover, these baths are open all year long at certain times of the day, so you can visit whenever it suits you.
Marina di Civitavecchia
You can't visit a port town without walking along its shores, and the best place to do this in Civitavecchia is Marina di Civitavecchia. Marina di Civitavecchia is a beautiful stretch of seafront that begins at Fort Michelangelo. You can wander down and stop at Viale Garibaldi and the Pirago beach resort until you reach the final destination of Borgo Odescalchi.
Depending on when you visit, this marina may also feature concerts and events that you can attend if you book tickets in advance. When beginning your seafront explorations, you should also visit the Piazza della Vita in front of Fort Michelangelo. This square is perfect for a bit of shopping, as locals often sell local products in it, and there are pubs and street food on offer.
The National Archaeological Museum of Civitavecchia
If you enjoy museum tours and want to learn more about the town and its origins, you should consider visiting The National Archaeological Museum of Civitavecchia. This museum is near Fort Michelangelo, making it the perfect stopping point if you plan on visiting the fort.
The museum has three floors inside an 18th-century building that Pope Clemintine XIII commissioned. When visiting, you should expect to learn more about everything from the dawn of civilization to the middle ages. It also has a healthy collection of ceramics and bronzes from different time periods and cultures that have frequented the area.
When is the best time to visit Civitavecchia?
If you're traveling from Florence to Civitavecchia, the best time to visit is during the shoulder season, which includes April, May, September, October, and November.
If you visit during the shoulder season, you won't encounter nearly as many crowds, considering the port is significantly quieter than peak season in June, July, and August when school holidays and cruise ship festivities are underway.
In addition, the weather during shoulder season is much milder, so you won't feel like you're burning to a crisp underneath the sun. You'll also get to enjoy better deals on everything from hotels to attraction ticket pricing.
