Getting around
Arriving
Bracciano. On the FL3 from Roma Ostiense/Trastevere (about an hour); the Odescalchi castle and the lake belvedere are a 10 minute walk uphill.
Tickets · Trenitalia (FL3) + Cotral
The great moated castle and the volcanic lake below make Rome's easiest lake day
Trenitalia app or machines.
Validate before boarding.
On foot
- ·The castle tour and the descent to the lake lidos fill the day; Anguillara's pointed borgo sits two stops back on the line
Taxis and driving
- ·The lake ring road strings Trevignano and Anguillara; summer lakefront parking is patient work
