Tarquinia & Etruscopolis Guided Tour

Tarquinia & Etruscopolis Guided Tour

At 9 am, we'll meet on Via delle Cave Antiche near Etruscopolis, one of Tarquinia's most famous museums. Ready to explore?

We'll spend two hours exploring Etruscopolis, an exhibition that recreates an Etruscan city from the 4th century BC. During the tour of this famous underground museum, we'll discover the customs, beliefs and construction methods of this ancient civilization. We'll see decorated tombs, the rooms of various houses, clay vases, and more. A fascinating museum you don't want to miss!

After the tour of Etruscopolis, we'll begin a guided tour of the historic center of Tarquinia. For two hours we'll stroll through the old town admiring the façades of its most emblematic buildings, such as Palazzo Vitelleschi, the Communal Palace and the Convent of San Francesco.

Of course, we'll also see the 12th-century medieval Church of Santa Maria di Castello, and we'll tell you the story of the Barucci Tower. Did you know that in the past Tarquinia had more than 40 towers owned by the nobility? Less than half of them have survived to the present day.

Continuing on, we'll go to a restaurant to enjoy an exquisite menu consisting of bruschetta and a meat or pasta dish, depending on the season. We'll accompany the meal with water and a glass of local wine. Bon appetit!

At 2 pm, the tour will conclude at the restaurant, located in Piazza Santo Stefano.
