Five more day trip recommendations for your trip to Italy!<\/h2>\n

Italy<\/a> is perfectly set up for travellers to visit different towns in a day. While basing yourself in a larger city, take advantage of Italy’s exceptional train network and compact size to explore a nearby area, without the need to pack your bags!<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/div>\n

So many possibilities!<\/h3>\n

We’ve already covered ten excellent day trip options in Part 1<\/a> and Part 2<\/a> of this series. In the final post, we cover five more day trips destinations for you. All easily accessed from major towns and all with so much to offer!<\/p>\n

Spend a day exploring…<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Ostia Antica<\/b> – only a short journey from Rome<\/a> is the exceptional ancient ruins of Ostia Antica, near the Lazio coast. Not much smaller than Pompeii, Ostia Antica has a history dating back over 2500 years. As the once port city for Rome<\/a>, the well preserved ruins have a fascinating history well worth a look.<\/li>\n
  2. Paestum<\/b> – for more ancient ruins, Paestum (above) is a short train ride from Naples<\/a> or Sorrento<\/a>. In a word, Paestum is breathtaking. Home to some of the best preserved Greek temples anywhere in the world, this sprawling complex also houses a museum with numerous artefacts on display. This is truly one of the highlights of Italy, and one of the premier archaeological sites in Europe.<\/li>\n
  3. Mantua<\/b> – a brief train trip from Verona<\/a> (or slightly longer from Venice<\/a>) will see you arrive in the historic town of Mantua (Mantova<\/i> in Italian). An important town during the Renaissance thanks largely to the Gonzaga family, Mantua is flanked by lakes on the northern side. An historic castle, richly adorned palaces and a frescoed basilica are some of the top attractions here.<\/li>\n
  4. Perugia<\/b> – capital of the region of Umbria<\/a>, a visit to Perugia (below) is a great way to split up your time in Assisi<\/a>. Bursting with history from Etruscan times up to World War II, Perugia balances its past with a cosmopolitan feel, due to the two universities here.<\/li>\n
  5. Rimini<\/b> – from Bologna<\/a>, you can be on the magnificent east coast city of Rimini in just over an hour (or two and a half from Florence<\/a>). Soak up the sun on the seemingly endless stretch of beach or venture into the historic centre of Rimini and explore. History, art and architecture paint a vivid picture of Rimini’s past.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
