Overview
Leave bustling Rome behind for the day and immerse yourself in the almost-vanished world of the Etruscans, a pre-Roman people who inhabited a swath of central Italy just north of Rome called Tuscia. After getting picked up at your hotel, head to Tarquinia, a town northeast of Rome that boasts a large amount of fascinating Etruscan-era fresco-filled underground tombs. Explore the necropolis and then head to Cerveteri where you'll wander around a millennia-old necropolis inside a burial mound that is still crammed with ancient Etruscan artifacts. Learn about the history and culture of the Etruscans from the guide and head back to Rome with the knowledge and appreciation of a people historically important to Italy.
