One of the many perks of studying in Rome is the ability to travel around Italy while having a home base in the country. The public transport in Italy is extensive and there will always be a train or bus to bring you towards your destination. As the travel enthusiast that I am, I decided to reward myself with a budget-friendly trip after finishing my last exam of the year. Gaeta had been on my radar for a while, and since it’s only an hour and a half from Rome by train, it seemed like the perfect spot to celebrate my well-earned freedom. In this post, I’ll explain how to get to Gaeta from Rome in the most budget-friendly way and provide a detailed guide on what to see during your short stay.
