Italy Lazio Tarquinia

Historic Places

Tarquinia is an ancient city in the province of Viterbo, Lazio, Italy, known chiefly for its outstanding and unique ancient Etruscan tombs in the widespread necropoli or cemeteries which it overlies, for which it was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. In 1922 it was renamed after the ancient city of Tarquinii (Roman). Although little is visible of the once great wealth and extent of the ancient city, archaeology is increasingly revealing glimpses of past glories.

This ancient city is best known for its superbly preserved Etruscan burial site, nearby Roman ruins, a rich museum, and churches.

My experience with RoutePerfect was fantastic! I really appreciate your service's help in planning my Europe trip! The planning process was seamless Everything was just fantastic with RoutePerfect, so again I thank you. I was very satisfied - 10 out of 10 with RoutePerfect. The package price was reasonable. In fact, I have already told several friends who are planning upcoming Europe trips about it, and they will be using it!

We were very happy with the service we received from RoutePerfect. Planning was so much fun and it was easy to play around with the different itineraries. We had no problems and it was extremely convenient to use the vouchers. The location of the hotels were great and according to what we expected. I also love the fact that you can select different budgets and modify these as well as the suggested itinerary.
