Budget-Friendly Day Trip from Rome: A day in Anzio
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you might already know this: I have a slight obsession with day trips from Rome. One, I live in Rome and I want to see as much of Italy as possible (on a student budget, of course). And two, most of these trips involve a train, and I love taking the train in Italy. Just staring out the window, headphones on concert mode, and off we go.
Now that the weather is finally getting better, I knew it was time to hit the coast, and that’s how Anzio popped onto my radar. In this post, I’ll share why you should check out this cute coastal town just 60 kilometres from Rome, how to get there for a very fun price, and exactly how to spend your day.

It was mid-August, and the city was baking in the kind of heat that makes you feel like you’re walking through an oven. Without missing a beat, he said, “Go to the beach.” The beach? I thought. I’m in Rome, why would I go to the beach?
But after just one day of sweating it out in 40-degree heat, I quickly ate my words. A day at the beach? Absolutely. So, I made my way to Ostia, and let me tell you, it was the best decision I made. Now, having learned the value of a beach day when you're in Rome, I want to share how you can get to Ostia Beach from the city, plus a few tips on how to make the most of your day there.
