Privat biltransfer från Florence till Civitavecchia

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
