Question

What is there to do in Civitavecchia ? We are there for 1 day and we've already done Rome.?

Answer 1

if you've been there 1 day, there's no way you've done everything!!  We were there for 3 1/2 days and didn't nearly see everything.  Go see St Pauls Bacillica outside the old city walls, go to the borghase galerey, best museum in the city!!  Shop, take a day trip to Pompeii...there is pleanty to do, by a book and start checking them off

Answer 2

If you like ruins I don't think Ostia Antica is too far a way from Civitavecchia.

Answer 3

I assume by 1 day that is a day ashore from a cruise and will be something on the order of 9 to 10 hours. Civitavecchia itself doesn't have a lot to see or do. given that you're looking for something other than Rome, I would recommend going to Tarquina which is just north of Civitavecchia. The Etruscan tombs are absolutely worth a visit:

Tarquina has Etruscan, Greek, and Roman roots and the museums reflect their heritage. There's an interesting ceramics museum in the Palazzo dei Priori.
