<p>Like any strong-willed city with a rich history, Rome is complicated, and can feel overwhelming. But also like any city worth its salt, Rome is eternally worth it (you just have to get to know her a bit).Whenever we’re going to a new place, it’s always marvelous if we happen to know someone who is […]</p>

Rome Blog 5 Best Day Trips from Rome: Lake Bolsena, Orvieto & More
Ostia
It is easy to combine some ancient Roman history and lunch at the beach with only a metro ticket. Don’t forget to bring a towel and a bikini!
Start at the Piramide/Porto San Paolo station and your first stop will be seven stops away. Ostia Antica is an archeological site to rival Pompeii. It once served the Roman empire as the main port city. You can wander amongst the ancient ruins that were once shops, taverns, baths and amphitheaters. Hop back on the train for a few more stops and pick one of the private beach clubs for a shy lunch and a snooze in the sand before you head back to the city.
Lake Bolsena
Bolsena is in Tuscia a little-known region of Lazio that borders Tuscany and Umbria. Deep Etruscan roots, Medieval history and unspoiled landscapes are just the beginning of its charms.
This volcanic lake was created a few thousand years ago probably by the eruption of the Vulsini volcano. After your visit, you can boast to your pals that you swam in the largest volcanic lake in Europe.
