Cerveteri, a town in northern Lazio, is worth visiting because it is an archaeological site with Etruscan treasures that you have possibly seen at the Villa Giulia or Vatican museums in Rome. There is a 7th to 5th -Century BC necropolis, called Necropoli della Banditaccia, which covers an area of 400 hectares and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It consists of dozens of tombs in the form of mounds with carved interior chambers that can be explored, so remember to bring a torch. A visit to Cerveteri is a great chance to get away from the bustling capital and to wander around the peaceful and quiet scenery. It's most convenient to go there on a weekday. Take the Metro Line A to Lepanto, and then blue COTRAL bus directly to Cerveteri.
