Itinerary
1
Castello Odescalchi di Bracciano
A glimpse of this formidable Renaissance military fortress will transport you to distant times and enchant you with vestiges of feudal lords, noble families, princes, and dukes. The castle is still the private property of Prince Livio Odescalchi, and the interior of the castle has been transformed into a historical museum open to the public to visit.
As you make your way through the splendid rooms fit for Kings and Popes, you can admire the 6 centuries worth of artwork, furniture, weaponry, books, and manuscripts, providing you with a genuine glimpse into the private quarters and lives of some of Italy’s most powerful historical figures.
Tickets to Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano are currently 8.50 Euros per person and can be bought on location.

Lago di Bracciano
Lake Bracciano is a sight to behold, a pristine volcanic lake surrounded by small craters that are still recognizable today, green with lush forests.
Overlooking the lake is an imposing castle, also referred to as Bracciano Castle, Odescalchi Castle or by its official name Castello Orsini-Odescalchi.
1 hour

Borgo di Ceri
Frozen in time to when it was founded in the early 1200s, Ceri invites visitors to experience an authentic medieval hamlet and enchants them with an atmosphere that evokes eras that fairytales are made of.

Necropoli della Banditaccia
Spanning 6 centuries of the Etruscan civilization, the Banditaccia necropolis offers the unique opportunity to witness the advancement of this pre-Roman civilization whose tombs evolved from simple stone pits or potholes where the ashes were housed to elaborate round and cube-shaped tombs built like city blocks with roads.
Entry tickets to Cerveteri Banditaccia Necropolis are currently 10 Euros per person to be bought on location.
