which has descriptions and Web links for more than 60 cruise lines.
Civitavecchia's
Tourist Information Office has a booth next
to the port's south entrance where you can pick up a city map, ask questions,
get directions, and book excursions. (The map is part of a free tourist
broadsheet called Target: Civitavecchia Magazine.) On the Web, the best source of in-depth cultural and tourist
information about the city is Civitavecchia.com, which has English-language
pages at www.civitavecchia.net. Another useful resource is the
Google satellite photo map of Civitavecchia, which provides a clear aerial
overview of the city center. (In the default view, you'll see the Forte
Michelangelo and the port entrance on the left, with the main waterfront
promenade along the beaches and the railroad station on the right.) Back to: Civitavecchia - Index
