Civitavecchia
Civitavecchia is the port of Rome, about eighty kilometres from the capital. The town keeps the Michelangelo Fort, built in the sixteenth century to a design attributed to Bramante and completed by Michelangelo, as well as Roman baths, the Terme Taurine, a few kilometres from the centre. It is also a major cruise port, very busy in summer.
Tunis
The ferry docks at the port of La Goulette, about ten kilometres from the centre of Tunis (the exact terminal is shown on your ticket). Police and customs checks take place on site, then the road or the TGM leads to Tunis, Carthage and the northern suburbs. Allow time for the formalities and for leaving the port, especially in summer, when many travellers arrive at once.
