Adults and teenagers

On the other side of the Tiber, on the way to Fiumicino airport, is the cemetery of the city of Porto: a street with dozens of brick family tombs, some with plaques that tell the deceased's trade in terracotta reliefs. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30 to 16:30, last entry at 16:00. It costs €6 or comes with the integrated ticket. You get there by car along via dell'Aeroporto di Fiumicino, via Cima Cristallo and via Pal Piccolo. A good stop if you are flying from Fiumicino in the afternoon.
