The Traiano Lake is an artificial lake located in the Oasi di Porto. It's not that far from Rome but is relatively unknown which is great because it means that you don't really see many tourists here. the great thing about this place is that you can get a guided tour of te park in a horse drawn carriage. A perfect day trip to cool off and relax.

It's difficult to be a city tourist with kids in tow as there's only so many churches they'll look at without putting up a fight, and this park ios the perfect tonic. Plenty of space for them to run about and let off steam as well as a lovely puppet show at the teatro del burattini. Some great things for us too, most notably amazing views of the trastavere district and lovely fountains.

The start of the road from rome to brindisi is now an archaeological park and on sunday there's no cars allowed so it's perfect for a nice long walk. My husband and I went early and spent the day exploring the ruins, so many interesting things to see so don't forget to pick up a leaflet outlining the main sites at the visitors centre justy outside the san sebastiano gate!
