Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

The port of Rome, about an hour by train from the Colosseum and the Vatican.

Civitavecchia has been the port of Rome since the emperor Trajan founded it in the early 2nd century. It lies about 45 miles north-west of the capital, linked by a direct train. Most visitors head straight for Rome and its ancient sights, from the Colosseum and the Pantheon to St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
