Gaeta is in southern Lazio, in the province of Latina, on Italy’s Tyrrhenian coast between Rome and Naples. Its old town overlooks the Gulf of Gaeta. Find Gaeta on the map: the railway station serving the town, Formia-Gaeta, is in the neighbouring town of Formia.
A unique location between the sea, history and nature
Gaeta is part of the Riviera di Ulisse. If you travel by train, search for Formia-Gaeta and plan the final transfer by bus or taxi: the train does not take you into central Gaeta. Driving routes and journey times depend on your starting point and traffic. Our guide to getting to Gaeta explains the options and where to check timetables.
Plan your visit around Serapo and Ariana beaches, the paths of Monte Orlando and the old town. For a meal, explore where to eat in Gaeta. Our guide to Gaeta’s tiella helps you compare options and menus for this local speciality.
A place that combines relaxation and tradition
