Things to do in  Gaeta

Marking the center of the protected Riviera di Ulisse, Gaeta perches dramatically atop a craggy promontory that juts out into the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Visitors explore its medieval town center—a maze of narrow lanes that descend from the imposing castle to the marina below—and bask on the sandy beaches lining the waterfront. Other top things to do include boat tours along the coastline and excursions inland to visit the Montecassino Abbey and tour the historic WWII battlefields scattered across the surrounding hillsides.
