8 Things to Do in Gaeta, Italy (Beaches, Views and Great Food)

Okay, it is time for a confession session. My second blog post ever was about Gaeta, back when only my mom and my best friend were reading my blog. I recently went back to that article, and I like to think my blogging skills have significantly improved, because, well… to say the least, that article was un bel casino, as they say in Italy, quite a mess.

That old article has now been transformed into a complete guide on how to travel from Rome to Gaeta. In this post, I will share the perfect guide on what to do in Gaeta once you are there. This list includes culture, nature, and of course delicious food, so you are more than prepared when visiting this stunning destination.

How to Plan the Perfect Day Trip to Nettuno from Rome

This year, from what I can remember, it got real hot in Rome way earlier than last year. While I’m usually pretty good with heat, I even bought an emergency fan to keep on my desk because I was simply melting away in my room. Temperatures of 39 degrees really put the dying in studying, you know?

But of course, there is a solution for everything, and from Rome you can easily take the train for a day trip to the coast. This time I went to explore Nettuno, a beautiful coastal town close to Anzio, where I went last time.

In this blog post, I will tell you everything about why Nettuno is the perfect day trip from Rome, how to get there in a budget-friendly way by train, and how to spend your day in Nettuno.

In this article, I’ll share my five favourite spots for a dive, the places I try to visit as often as possible.
