Its proximity to the A1 Expressway and the Orte train hub, along with its unmatched beauty and mild climate make Soriano an extremely popular getaway destination for many people from the surrounding cities. Many Romans, for example, have their weekend getaway homes here. In that way, it might be compared to Lake Arrowhead or Palm Springs for Los Angeles residents, or Connecticut for New Yorkers, or The Cape for Bostonians.

On the flipside, it is close enough to Rome, that many people who work in Rome, but don't want to live in the city make the daily commute. Typically, they drive to the Orte Train station (15 minutes), and take the 36 minute train ride into Central Rome. Train service between Rome and Orte is extremely regular throughout the day.
