Not all tourists arrive in Rome by plane.
Many arrive by bus or by train or by car… many with the cruise ship!

Especially these have one or two days to visit as much as possible ….then, in addition to the indispensable visit to Rome, here is the second essential stop: Tarquinia!

UNESCO World Heritage Site, welcomes you with its history and its ancient ruins that you can see in the beautiful National Museum of Etruscan treasures,

and visiting the Necropolis.

600 years of history
before Christ!
You must provide almost two hours to visit the museum, and another hour to visit the Etruscan tombs in the Necropolis. You will be amazed!

(closed on monday)
from 8.30 to 19.30

You just got off the Cruise ship in Civitavecchia and you have decided to spend a  beautiful day in Tarquinia?
Cool!
After an initial walk through this small and charming town, do you want to make a tasty stop?

There are many restaurants in the medieval style, carved out in macco, a  yellowish limestone, used in the Etruscan period.

Among all I sugget the AMBARADAM restaurant.

You will eat right on the ancient Etruscan ruins that you can see under the floor, through a glass case.
But, while you enjoy the delights of the kitchen, ask Luciano, one of the owners, to tell you the story of this restaurant and you will be surprised by the historical attention that has been paid.

The palate will surely be satisfied by the original and well presented plates as the rich starters,

the Chestnuts delight (cooked chestnuts wrapped in bacon, rosemary, and

covered with honey), or the Maremmana (tasty morsels of meat, presented ​​with three fabulous dipping sauces)

or the Crema Catalana (the famous cream, covered with sugar, which is caramelized at the moment, by Anna, a lovely young lady of the staff)….

Well, after you have well eaten and well drunk, are you ready to explore the vast treasury of art of  Tarquinia?
