Frosinone is a hilltop city in Lazio, Italy, set between Rome and Naples. Its position has long made it a crossroads, and it sits in the historic Ciociaria region, an area known for its hill towns and its rural character.
What a visit offers
Frosinone suits travellers who want to see a place away from the main tourist circuits. Because it lies between two of Italy's largest cities, it is a practical stop on a journey through central and southern Italy, and it gives a sense of the landscape and daily life of the Ciociaria.
Around the city
- Hilltop setting: the city rises above the surrounding valleys, so views and changes in elevation shape the walk through its streets.
- Ciociaria region: the wider area is rooted in farming and hill-town life, and it rewards time spent beyond the city centre.
- Connections: its location makes it an easy base for reaching Rome and Naples by road or rail.
Frosinone is a quiet choice rather than a headline one. Visitors who enjoy unhurried towns, regional character and a view of Italy beyond its best-known cities will find it worth a stop.
