There are many things that make Lazio special. It is rich in history and home to Rome and ancient sites like Ostia Antica. Lazio is simply steeped in history, from the Roman Empire to the Renaissance.

The region also offers stunning natural landscapes, from the sandy shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea to lush hills and serene lakes.

Lazio is also famous for its food based on, as everywhere in Italy, local fresh produce.

Beyond the well-known capital city of Rome, Lazio has several other beautiful cities that are worth visiting. Tivoli, with its famous Villa d'Este and Hadrian’s Villa, offers a peek into Roman times and Renaissance beauty.

Another notable city is Ostia Antica, known for its ancient archaeological site that gives Pompeii a run for its money in terms of well-preserved ruins.

Viterbo, with its medieval town center and thermal springs, and the coastal city of Gaeta, also make great visits for their unique charm and historical significance.

Lazio is famous for several traditional dishes that reflect the region’s rich culinary heritage. Notably, it is the birthplace of classic dishes such as Pasta Carbonara and Amatriciana. Other local specialties include Saltimbocca alla Romana and the lesser-known but equally fantastic Coda alla Vaccinara (oxtail stew).
