Discovering Rome: museums, history and neighbourhoods
From Ciampino, central Rome is a stone's throw away. By car you can reach Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon directly, without changing public transport. Park on the Janiculum and enjoy the most beautiful view of the city, then walk down to Trastevere for an authentic lunch among locals.
A car is indispensable for visiting the Vatican Museums at quieter hours (at opening or in the late afternoon), or for reaching less touristy neighbourhoods like Pigneto, Ostiense and Testaccio, where the real Rome lives among neighbourhood markets and historic taverns.
Thanks to Ciampino's location, you're also a few kilometres from the Via Appia Antica: the ancient Roman consular road, lined with tombs, catacombs and maritime pines, is one of the most evocative historical routes in Europe and is worth the trip on its own.

The Roman Castles: wine, lakes and papal residences
Ciampino is the perfect starting point for the Roman Castles, the hilly area just 20-30 km away. Frascati is the most famous destination: famous for its DOCG white wine, the noble Renaissance villas and the fraschette — typical taverns where you can taste porchetta and local wine at honest prices.
Castel Gandolfo deserves a special visit: the ancient summer residence of the popes, now open to the public, overlooks the beautiful Lake Albano. The Apostolic Gardens, visitable by guided tour, are a corner of paradise. Not far away, Nemi sits on the edge of the volcanic lake of the same name and is famous for strawberries and for the story of the Roman ships.
Rocca di Papa, Genzano, Marino — each Castles village has its own festival, its own speciality and its own panorama. A whole day is not enough, but with a car you can build your own custom itinerary.

South to Montecassino Abbey, Sperlonga and Terracina
From Ciampino you can easily push down to southern Lazio for impactful day trips. Sperlonga, about 100 km away, is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy: the white houses on the promontory, the fine sandy beaches and the National Museum with the Cave of Tiberius make it a must in summer and out of season.
Terracina, with the Temple of Jupiter Anxur that dominates the city from Mount Sant'Angelo, combines millennial history with equipped beaches. Not far away, the Circeo National Park offers dunes, coastal lakes and intact forests, ideal for nature lovers.
Further inland, Montecassino Abbey is one of the most important places of faith and history in Italy: the post-war reconstruction of the Benedictine complex and the military sacrarium that houses the memories of the Second World War make this visit a profound and unforgettable experience.
