Most of the region of Lazio is overlooked due to the city of Rome. However, the Region of Lazio is the cradle of western civilization and Christian culture, of lakes and legends, of thermal spas and history, of ancient roads and verdant hills. Lazio is a region of central Italy bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea,traverse by the waters of the Tiber River and mainly characterized by hills and mountains, while it slopes down near the coast.

This region has different yet complementary features, unblemished sceneries and spectacular horizons among the towns. Visitors can enjoy incredibly beautiful views, like Villa Borghese in Rome, the Italian capital.

For those who prefer the sea, this region offers some pearls such as Gaeta, Sabaudia, San Felice Circeo, Sperlonga and the Islands of Ponza and Ventotene, while those who love lakes will enjoy Bracciano, an enchanting stretch of water encircled by the intense green of the surrounding nature and overlooked by a magnificent 16th-Century castle. Walking along the Medieval streets of the villages by the shores of the lake, visitors can feel that these places are not only bound to the Roman Empire, but were also the theatre of various historical periods. Lake Bolsena, in the area of Viterbo, gives us an example of it, as it is the biggest volcanic lake in Europe and encloses two islands, Bisentina and Martana. This lake combines the charm of lush nature and the splendid view,s with the history and traces left by the Etruscans, Romans and successive populations.

Finally, mountain lovers will not be left disappointed by Lazio, thanks to the ski resorts of Terminillo, Livata and Campo Staffi. This land evokes memories of unrivalled places and intense emotions, but also a clear perception of the relentless march of time, that justifies the attempts of our ancestors to challenge time and leave us their remembrance.The entire region offers a range of alternative itineraries with a wide choice of historical and artistic sights and scenery. To the north of the region, are the ruins of the mysterious and fascinating Etruscans, or south lies Tarquinia, where lies one of the most important necropolis yet discovered, particularly famous for its paintings which provide a tangible and fascinating picture of Etruscan life and customs. Another itinerary in the heart of Etruria lies inland, combining the beautiful landscapes of the great Latium lakes with the environmental interest of ancient, picturesque villages submerged in a gentle silent countryside.

After you get outside the city of Roma you will find a wide varied of outdoor activities in the Lazio Region.  Great beach front areas with a good vary of sports including surfing. There are several good climbing areas spread through the region. As well as plenty of hiking in historical areas, from Roman, middle ages, and battle sites from World War 2.
