Florence and Rome from Civitavecchia

Independent rail trip from Civitavecchia to Florence and Rome

Railbookers sells Florence and Rome from Civitavecchia as an independent rail vacation, meaning travelers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. Civitavecchia is the port used by cruise ships calling at Rome, and this 5-day, 4-night package picks up from there, traveling by rail first to Florence and then on to Rome. In Florence, the days focus on history and Renaissance architecture. In Rome, they turn to the Colosseum and the Vatican, the highlights of what the description calls 'the Eternal City.' The operator does not say how the four nights are split between the two cities. It suits cruise passengers or independent travelers who want a short, self-guided add-on to Florence and Rome.
