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.

5 Beautiful Beaches near Rome You Can Easily Visit by Train

Yes my loves, I am back. After weeks of studying in my room and slowly melting away in temperatures of 39 degrees, I made it out of my exam period and I have time to write again, and no, not just for a university essay. Since summer officially arrived in Rome, one of my favourite things to do is visit the beach and go for a dive. I already wrote an article once about how to get to Ostia and enjoy the beach there, but for this blog post I ventured a little further away. By train you can easily reach some stunning beaches around Rome that are quieter, have clearer water, and are also very budget friendly. In this article, I’ll share my five favourite spots for a dive, the places I try to visit as often as possible.

Is Monti worth visiting on your trip to Rome?

A while ago, I was talking to one of my close friends in Rome, and she told me that her favourite neighbourhood in the city was none other than Monti. And maybe it was the fact that I can be introverted, but my first thought was: Why? There are so many people in Monti. I just couldn’t grasp the fact that of all the neighbourhoods in Rome, she would pick Monti as her favourite.

However, over the past few months, I’ve been taking Italian classes in this area (I’m now the proud owner of an A1/A2 Italian certificate), and as a result, I’ve spent a great deal of time in the Monti neighbourhood. And I must admit, I really grew to love this part of Rome.

So, in this blog post, I’ll tell you a little more about this area, how to get there, and some places you simply can’t miss!
