ganigani Posted August 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We are sailing in MSC PREZIOSA next august, and we want visit Rome in our own... The port web says that from July 17 th , the free shuttle bus makes some new stops in orden to visit the new Villagio del Gusto , near the old stop close to Forte Michelangelo. Can anybody confirm it? Could we get that bus stop and get civitavecchia train station from Varco Fortezza exit? http://civitavecchia.portmobility.it/sites/default/files/nuove_fermate_delle_navette_4.jpg http://civitavecchia.portmobility.it/it/le-navette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruiseIreland Posted August 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I can only speculate that this is a shopping opportunity within the port. Yes, this is close to the old entrance and not too long a walk from the station. However, I am not sure they will allow pedestrian access via the old port gate.

ganigani Posted August 3, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks. I will send an e-mail to the Port Authority . If I have an answer, I will post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted August 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Recent posters have indicated that they entered the port via the old south gate on foot, there's just no vehicular traffic through there any more. It would be nice to have that confirmed by the Port Authority, however. Edited August 3, 2015 by euro cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganigani Posted August 4, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Here the Port Authority answer: Good morning, the direct bus stop near Varco Fortezza from Cruise terminal is made only from 11.30 to 14.30. At other times the shuttle performs path Cruise Terminal - Largo della Pace and then go back and stop at the village of taste (near gate fortress, where you can walk off and headed for the train statio Per maggiori informazioni le lascio i link : INGLESE http://civitavecchia.portmobility.it/en/shuttles * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganigani Posted August 4, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted August 4, 2015 ....continues. .. Yes, you can walk out and head to the fortress gate and then to the train station of Civitavecchia. It is about 2 km, you ride in just under 30 minutes. If you find no luggage and no children and is a sports person could do it, but do not recommend it in case if you have with small children. Consider also that in August the temperature is very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruiseIreland Posted August 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Good news but it's nowhere near 2 km. More like 500m or so. In heat with luggage and kids, it would be unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie3 Posted August 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Does this mean we no longer exit the port from Via Turco 3? Was that just the temporary port exit? We will arrive in port in September and are confused! It appears now there are multiple stops where we may leave the shuttle? We may decide to explore Civitavecchia itself as the itinerary info in this thread looks good. Our original plan was to find the bus for Tarquinia, but we keep finding different info on where the shuttle leaves us off and where we would find the bus for Tarquinia. Exploring Civitavecchia itself is looking like a good bet. (We have been to Rome many times.) All advice is welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnybunny70 Posted August 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Will there be Taxis at the Train station that will take you to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted August 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Will there be Taxis at the Train station that will take you to the port?Don't count on it, taxis don't always wait at the Civitavecchia station. Even if there is one, it can be difficult to get them to take a one mile fare to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free shuttle bus continues leves us off at Largo della Pace.You can go walking, from here to the Catedral, where the bus to Tarquinia stops. From Piazza Vittorio Emanuele (Cathedral) you can get a COTRAL bus line bound for Tarquinia (Barriera S.Giusto) that will drop you within walking distance.Take a look COTRAL website to check timetables. . You can reach Tarquinia by train. Take the train (bound for Pisa Centrale/Grosseto - € 1.50) and get off after one stop at Tarquinia (Museum). In front of the entry to the Museum leaves a free shuttle bus to the Necropolis (Historic Center - valverde Line B-D). There isn't a set timetable for the shuttle bus: it runs approximately every 20/30 from 9.15 to 12.10 and from 16.00 to 19.20. For bus timetables refer to the*official site. Coming back from Tarquinia Station you will only have to get the first train bound for Civitavecchia/Roma Termini.

May we assume that in looking at the map of Civitavecchia port, depending on time of day, for exploring the town sites of Civitavecchia itself during a port stop, it would be better to depart the shuttle near the fortress? I see on the map there is a shuttle bus picture at "Porto Livorno". Should I assume we may not get off the shuttle there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted August 5, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Am I understanding correctly that you are saying that the port shuttle now stops at the Old fort entrance as well as at the new shuttle drop off spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas16 Posted August 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) From looking on the website, the shuttle drops off at the via turco shuttle bus stop and then drops off behind the old fortress . This only applies for ships that dock at piers ten to thirteen where the majority of cruise ships dock on the western side of the port (the side to the left of the old fort) . If your ship docks on the other side of the port, the shuttle bus only goes to via turco. For the train station, you will want to get off at the old fort as that is the closest shuttle bus stop, there is also the villago del gusto at the old fort where you can buy traditional Italian food/ drinks Between 11.30 to 14.30 the shuttle bus stops at the Bramante car park at the old fortress and then proceeds to via turco afterwards, at other times, the old fort is the last shuttle bus stop before the buses return to the cruise ships Edited August 8, 2015 by dallas16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnybunny70 Posted August 8, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm more confused lol! Our ship is going to be at pier 25 so where will the shuttle be for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas16 Posted August 8, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 8, 2015 For pier 25 the shuttle will go from the ship to the via turco largo della pace stop and then return to the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyCruises Posted August 8, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) It sounds like for ships embarking or debarking that the shuttle only goes to the Via Turco lot; for those with just a one day stop, it also stops at the fort. Yes? Edited August 8, 2015 by CathyCruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallas16 Posted August 8, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If your ship embarks or disembarks at pier 25 in civitavecchia, the shuttle only goes to via turco. For ships docking at other piers, it also stops near the fort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas16 Posted August 8, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The website http://www.portidiroma.it/content/arrivi-e-partenze-navi will tell you where ships are due to dock in civitavecchia, you will need to choose nave da crociera on the search and then the date of your visit. The only ships that usually use pier 25 are those that are embarking/ disembarking passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganigani Posted August 10, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted August 10, 2015 First at all, take a look this site to check where your ship docks http://www.portidiroma.it/en/content/ship-arrivals-and-departures Some cruises dock at pier 25, but most of them the dock at piers 12 -13. We are travelling on MSC Preziosa.This ship has embarking/desembarking passengers in almost all ports of call and arrives on Sunday and docks at pier 12 bis. If your ship docks at pier 25, the shuttle bus goes directly to Largo de la Pace - Via del Turco. If your ship docks at piers 10-13..the shuttle bus goes to Largo della Pace, also ; and in the way back it stops at Molo del Bicchiere*(Villaggio del Gusto) . And only from 11:30 to 14:30 there is an intermediate bus stop between Terminal Cruise and Largo della Pace, called "Bramante" (near Varco Fortezza , the old bus stop) .
