Monte Porzio Catone
00040 Monte Porzio Catone, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy
Escape the crowds of Rome and head for the countryside to Monte Porzio Catone, a smaller town known as a wine city for its vineyards and numerous wine cellars and bars. It’s also known as the City of Orchids, and every year, travelers from across the globe come for the Orchids of the World show. Walk through Barco Borghese, an archeological complex dating to the Renaissance era, and grab a glass of wine on a patio and take in expansive views of Rome and the surrounding forest.
