What about Ostia Antica...or Tivoli...both are suppose to be great day trips from Rome.

Orvieto !

Go see the garden at Ninfa if you are in Rome the first Sat or Sun or the third Sun. Requires a train ride to Latina then bus or taxi to Ninfa.
This is the most romantic garden I have seen in Italy.

I second Orvieto.

Hello bacci111!

When my husband and I stayed in Rome, we did a day trip to Anguillara on Lake Bracciano. It is just a short train ride north of Rome. It is an absolute jewel of a town.

All great suggestions but I really liked Ostia. Do the ruins and take the train to the next stop and have lunch on the water.

Hi Bacci - Lots of options ...

Assisi? Cortona? Spoleto?
Castel Gandolfo/ Lake Albano/ Colli Albani?
Montecassino
Caserta
Viterbo
Tarquinia
Subiaco
Lake Bracciano
Sperlonga

... to name a few :)

Anzio--on a commuter line--on the ocean--no tourists ( or few ) some Roman ruins on the sandy beaches--restaurants right on the harbor
