Bought my cheapest Skechers ever...just at this place...50%off

Well issue with the park, better by bus. Not bad location easy to reach. And in front of magic rainbow. A day of full party for the family

I enjoyed this shopping on a black Friday. Amazing price's and lots of shops to choose from.Even cafe's and snack bar and gellateria to enjoy while you shop.

For foreigner ( non Italian Speaker), the information help desk will not call taxi for you, they will only give number for you and you need to call by yourselfRest room is not clean

Lower to mid range brands, just to set expectations. It is ok

good address for both italian and international brands. you can also claim a free tourist card that gives you an additional 10% discount on the outlet prices . just go to the information desk at the entrance.

Fantastic outlet near Rome. Beautiful shops. Wide variety. Huge variation of restaurants. Very clean and spacious.

Great outlet, a whole day is needed to see it all, unless you already know what you need, but great prices are guaranteed. Always 30% off the full price, recommend visiting during sale season 30% off as always plus extra price off.

The biggest outlet in Rome its a bit far a way but it’s worth the time. More than 180 brands such as Nike, Adidas, Puma, Kappa, Guess, Loreal, Levi’s, Calvin Klein and more! There are a lot of great prices! If you are going to Rome don’t miss the opportunity to go there!

Nice place, good stuff, good services, near to rainbow magic land park, the shops are very good and prices competitive...

A nice place to spend some time with your family, friends and animals. I saw one strolling with his parrot. 😊 It has a lot of good shops for clothes. I just wish they also had a cinema that shows foreign films in original language. They've got a sort of food court, which is great.

A good place for designer outlets in alot cheaper prices...

Extensive shopping complex. Special visit to Dainese clothing outlet, smart shop with very knowledgeable staff. We’d love to make another visit.

Nice place with a good choice of entertainments for both adults and very young ones. Several attractions will get you soaked wet, but there are full body driers (two euros).

There are so many negative points that it's as frustrating to write about as it is to have experienced it.Extremely lacking in attraction for teenagers and adults (3-4 attractions). The majority of attractions focus on little ones, which, considering the price paid, is extremely expensive and disproportionate. Not to mention the lack of carts for each ride.Why do your rides only carry 6/10 people?And your rides last about 1 minute?We had trouble finding ourselves in the park even if it's not huge. There was no indication in the park.Smoking sections should be prohibited in this kind of place crowded with children! We saw 12 year olds smoking. If you find a seat on the ground, even if you are far away, you will get smoked by cigarettes. Or, like my children, who were smoked in the queues of the rides.What I hated the most about my experience was the way they tried to COPY Disney and Universal Studios, for a Disney fan, it's frankly disgusting. You're not creative enough to invent your own park from scratch?Seating in the shade is extremely rare, so be prepared to suffer from sunstroke/heat stroke on a hot, sunny day. The seats are missing, shades or not anyway.I found people very disrespectful.Groups of young people place a friend in the line of the ride, the queue moves forward, and when the person arrives in turn, 10 to 15 other young people join him/her.This ploy is done by more than a few in the queues. The lack of respect and lack of good manners among these young people means that everyone who waits politely overtakes them, which sometimes lengthens the line by several hours.The park should also offer an "accompanying person" ticket because, for my part, the mother, I didn't go on any rides, but I still paid the full price, which is a steal.Know that the scam does not stop there!!If you buy your tickets the day before online, they are half price... BUT PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS ONLY ADDRESSED TO ITALIANS WHO HAVE AN ITALIAN POSTAL CODE!!So after you try for hours to save a few euros, and the site doesn't work at all, you find yourself paying double that same day at the park.That's what I call STEALING.

Great value for money. Book online 24hrs before you plan to visit for the best price. Fun day out for all ages.

Amazing rides for people of all ages! There was almost no wait in lines or in the entrance and we visited on a Sunday! The park is huge and all the rides are unique, it also has rides that include water which were really fun! Great for families we bought tickets to spend the whole day there and it was soo worth it would definitely recommend !

All attractions are really cool. They will bring the magic inside you. I felt like a kid when we visited the place.

Still one of the best summer getaways in rome. Although the extreme rolle coaster was close but the other rides were super fun!

Worth a whole day of fun between shows and rides, the lines were almost nonexistent and the water rides are perfect to cool down in summer. There are plenty of rides for all ages, so it's a nice place for families, groups of friends or pretty much anyone

It is a very nice fun park for all the family with around 32 rides. Not all rides are for kids. Children are admitted depending on their height. The park is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs. Few rides go through water quite pleasant if one visits the park in summer because visitors get wet! The only downfall for this place is that it caters only for Italian speaking visitors. My family and I enjoyed our stay because we understand and speak the language, but for those who do not, it might be a bit annoying, However, some of the staff do speak English. A full day is a must, and skip the line tickets, too.

Lovely theme park but quite small. Overpriced if you buy full price tickets. Got our half price on groupon.itWe were surprised that many rides do not open before noon while the park opens at 10:30. Nevertheless barely any queue on a Sunday. We had a lot of fun.

This is a great amusem*nt park for the whole family. They have a few roller coasters, including one really great one.There were no paper maps and barely any shade in the park, which made it extra hard to stay cool in the summer.I was pleasantly surprised by the park as it is more of a small one, but had great theming and ride selection. It is also located in walking distance to a huge shopping center.There is a MagicLand shuttle that runs to the train station, but we used the shopping center’s shuttle as it was more convenient for our schedule.There is an incentive to recycle/reuse here, which was very nice to see. You get money back when you return your plastic bottles.Overall, this is a great park for the family and they also have a water park attached if you’re interested in that as well.

Amazing time spent here. For all, kids and parents.

I bought my tickets online and I am happy with all the service we received at the park!This was my second visit and it was just because my partner has never been in such place. To be honest we had fun like little kids and he wanted to stay there all day! I paid for lunch online too, it was really convenient!Be aware that some restaurants are not open non stop so have lunch and don't leave it for 4pm like us!Thank you Magicland next time we visit Italy one day is saved to visit you again.

We visited park in the middle of the week and there where lots of free parking space near entrance. Our 5 and 8 year old daughters enjoyed a lot. We took a Magicpass and it was worth it to pass without expecting the lines. Lots of attractions under 110cm, big area for kids. We had lunch at Castello restaurant, simple food with the normal prices. And don’t miss out Wonder show! Definitely to come back.

The best theme park I have ever been too by far. They have all sorts of theatre performances, a planetarium, stunt shows and a lot more. They do an illusion show at the end of the day which is excellent. They also have a big range of different rides so there is something for everyone. The food could be a little better with more choice. Would definitely recommend this place. Your guaranteed to have a great time from start to finish.

It's great, great rides, lots of cafes and kiosks with all sorts of snacks. We took the shuttlebus from Valmontone station. Everything is clear. You can also buy tickets for it from the driver.I would recommend adding maps of the location of the rides around the park with the location point at the moment. The only disappointing thing was the lack of a Winx area, which we really wanted to visit. 😢

Great place, lots of fun but terrible food. It’s not that clear from the website but all the activities you would need are free once you are in, it is just the small hands on animal experiences that you have to pay extra for. The main swimming pool isn’t open yet (May) but there were still plenty of water activities.

Place is overcrowded. Most of the time to use the attraction you need to wait in a huge queues. Overall, it's worth a visit though, if you have children. For adults only it's really not that great. By the way, the Dolphin and Pirates shows were amazing! 👏

Amazing place to bring back the child inside of you!

Terrific service. The staff is rude. They lie and announce promotional prices and packages that are not available at the ticket office. They make up rules that are not written anywhere. Horribly high prices for extremely low quality. There is a lack of cleanliness, it is dirty in many places. Most restaurants are closed and this is not announced anywhere. Working hours are announced until 5 p.m., but in reality everything stops at 4:30 p.m. Again they blatantly lie. Even the toilets close at 4.30pm. Terrible, terrible, terrible….

We visited from Rome, which was a long trek, later find out there is some shuttle from the Central train station, if you can get it, I would advise you to do so. The park was great, we paid for the gold vip service, this was good and worth the money.

Best time to visit is summer when all the attractions are open and all the shows running. It is a nice park it can be done all in one day unless you want to spend a lot time at the swimming/slides area.Look online for the promotions on certain days otherwise the ticket is a bit pricey. Very busy on weekends!

We visited on a weekday and arrived half an hour before the park opened. It was a scrap for the sunbeds and we ended up with chairs by the Cancun pool/ slides. Unless you're willing to pay 22EUR extra on top of the ticket cost for VIP just to get a sunbed you may have to just sit on your towel on the floor.This is very much a water park for locals not tourists. Not many staff or visitors spoke English. This was ok for us but may be a little unsettling for others.The morning was ok queue wise, still quite busy considering it was a weekday but understandable as it's summer. The Cancun slides were quite busy from the word go with queues of about 10 people for each little slide. Many local kids don't seem to understand the concept of queuing.The log flume didn't open until 1pm and my family joined the queue at 12:45 and it still took an hour for them to get on it. The larger green boat slides we waited 40 minutes.By later in the afternoon the Cancun area became unbearably busy. A sea of people whereby you couldn't even see the pool area. Even though the park was open until 7pm we decided to leave at 430pm.Recommendation... Get there early. Take lunch. Don't take valuables so you can leave your stuff. Warn tour kids to hold their own in queues and expect to have to wait a while for the bigger slides.

Didn't know what to expect. It was fun. Wouldn't pay 18€ again though for 1 adult. It's better to look online for some deals or discounts.

I thought the park was pretty good and reasonably priced for whats on offer, although my family werent quite as keen hence dropping a star to take account of their opinion. Wasn't too crowded the day we were there but there is quite a lot to do and see if it is all open and available; sadly, a few attractions were closed on our visit which was a shame. Best to get in early so you can maybe take in a few shows then get to relax and play again before having lunch and doing some more shows.

Love this place. Dolphine and Sea lion events are the best of everything.You have so many activities to enjoy. 😍

A lovely place to spend a day. The kids loved it. It wasn't crowded when we went on a Monday. All the staff were excellent and kind. The place was well maintained. A few of the rides/attractions were closed, including the roller coaster, blue river, dinosaur park etc., The dolphin show was spectacular. Giochiamo insieme alle foche (play with seals) at €20/person was okay- the kids got to touch the seal a few times and learnt about their habitat etc., The 4D show was more of 3D and physical distancing was enforced in the theater with every other two seats being cordoned off. They screened the movie even though there was only like 10 of us in the theater.The online ticket gives you a good discount and to skip the line at the ticket counter. The cost of storage locker was a bit steep at €5 for small and €10 for a large locker. Food at Caffe Allegria was acceptable for the cost charged. The cost for 3 photos from the Giochiamo insieme alle foche was €20 which was a bit expensive. The offer where we can register to come back for free at €1/person was an added bonus. Car parking was €5/day, I saw many park their cars just outside on the road to avoid that charges.

This place is all broken down! Nothing works? The 4D movie is not in focus, it hurts your eyes to try and look plus the seats don't work no water no air.....bull! The grounds are in shambles ....... save your money go the the zoo in Rome!

Not really a zoo. Kind of park. Very creative in ways to take your money- charging 20€ for 3pic of u with the seals after u already paid 30€ for the attraction itself.The activities are pretty lame according ro amusem*nt park.The water area big but for a locker u will have to pay 10€ and no place to put the key in...If your child is under 3y he doesn't have nothing to do in the water area...A lot of shady parking which cost only 5€.

This is a beautiful palace, the summer residence for the Pope.. always at the ready should he decide to make a visit. Take the “Tour Guy/Roman Guy” tour for best access and no wait. Saturdays only… plan ahead.

The Pontifical Palace in Castel Gandolfo, traditionally the summer residence of the Pope, offers a serene escape with its picturesque setting overlooking Lake Albano. This majestic villa, rich with history, has served as a refuge for popes dating back to the 17th century and is renowned for its beautifully manicured gardens and the Vatican Observatory. Recently opened to the public, visitors can now explore the apostolic palace and its grounds, gaining a rare glimpse into the private retreat of the papacy. The blend of spiritual significance, breathtaking views, and architectural beauty makes this a truly unique visit outside Rome.

I scheduled a visit to Gandolfo Palace on a day that overlapped with one of the Italians' days off! It was a very busy day on the streets and at the entrance to the palace. That's why we chose to visit only the gardens, for the palace, we had to wait another three hours. So we took a long walk through the 44 hectares of park that can be visited, on a wonderful spring day, accompanied by a guide who told us many interesting things about these gardens. The rest of 11 hectares are private , no one has access exept the Pope ! I highly recommend visiting these gardens. The walk lasted about an hour and a half. You should know that in these gardens scenes from the series "The Two Popes" were filmed!

Stunning gardens. Highly recommend the bus tour to get a sense of the scale of the palace.

Beautiful place to walk around, security is very kind and if you ask the right one they will give you access to the Pope former quarters upstairs. Incredibly beautiful and relaxing place, definitely make time to roam the town , eat seafood lake front and walk around the area.

Nice place to visit and spend a day. We went with the one day full access but you can go with other tours to walk in the great garden of the castleMake sure to take a jacket though

Very nice especially the garden (12 euro) and the palace (7). The price was too much but I loved the garden.. super nice. I wish everything around was clean at the same level

Impressive ! Stayed on the mountain opposite to it ! This by the way is the summer residence of the pope and the whole lake is a dormant volcano ! It also includes an astronomical observatory within the walls of the complex

In this residence-museum you can see the gardens and the beautiful view of the lake. Here the story of many popes throughout history is told. Likewise, it tells a little about the history of the pope's refugees in the Second World War.I want to highlight how wonderfully they treated us as soon as we arrived. The guards can speak to you in English, Spanish and of course Italian, they made a much more pleasant experience since they told us various things throughout the tour.They have an audio guide in the 3 languages ​​already mentioned, which is definitely very helpful.Moving on to another topic, if you come from Rome, I recommend entering this place early, just remember to book the train ticket and the museum ticket in advance. I recommend that you buy the train ticket round trip since the machine to buy tickets at the Castell Gandolfo station does not work, so you would have to buy it online.Beautiful experience

The Palace is stunning (haven't seen the gardens). The tour is ok.It would be nice to see a richer exhibition then to see a lot of pope portraits and clothes.The audio guide is very well done but of course a lot is on the history of every single Pope so after some time it becomes a little repetitive but still informative and interesting telling facts about these historically relevant figures.Included to the palace ticket, there is a guided mini tour to the private rooms of the pope.Jan 24 (bought directly from the office) costs me 11 euros just for the palace.Ticket combo palace+gardens is 19.

What an amazing place to visit, very impressive and a privilege to walk around inside the building. Followed by a tour of the papal gardens by bus, so beautifully maintained. One of the best organised visits I have been on.

Beautiful Palace & Restaurant market. Can spend a half day to enjoy.

I took the ticket to visit the museum only because the visit including the garden was too expensive for me. It was overall a nice museum, and it was worth the view on the lake from the balcony. There are some great paintings inside and fun facts about the pope, but it's not a memorable visit.

It’s marvellous! It gives a sparkling glimpse of the religion and life of the Popes. The garden is breathtakingly beautiful! I took the bus ride. Strongly recommended!

Large Villa at Castel Gandolfo, now a museum detailing the many rooms and floors of the Pope's summer residence. Lots of interesting paintings, interior decor, and artifacts. The palace gardens can only be visited by guided tour, but is well worth the price.

It's beautiful! Everything is new and old at the same moment. You can take audio guide and have an excursion around the palace. Some rooms are museum and some are used for Papa. You also should see the garden, it's amazing 🤩 and you can take photos as you like.But you must be ready, that the museum is working only when Papa is absent. And you will not be able to visit it if Papa decides to have a rest.

I want to rate this place higher but they’ve really undercapitalised this asset big time. So many opportunities to provide the kind of experience that would really captivate visitors and lead to the word of mouth that could really transform the palace and Castel Gandolfo in general into a bigger draw for visitors (such things can transform the economy of an area, so we’re not talking about trivial matters). The palace experience is in two parts: the portrait gallery of popes and the pope’s private rooms on an upper level. Let’s be clear: Pope Francis does not use this property as his summer home, as so many popes before him did, and he never has, electing to have it turned into a museum instead. You know what? I don’t blame him! The place lacks taste and any sense of history. It’s a “daggy” and unconvincing cult of personality experience. The palace is supposedly built on the ancient remains of what WAS the Gandolfo Castle but you wouldn’t know. Even the medieval/rinascimento phases have been all but obliterated. The palace comes across as a great historic place which was renovated within an inch of its life by grandparents with money, no clue about history and an account at Franco Cozzo (Australians will know what I’m referring to here). It’s so sad. The portrait gallery that has even an unreconstructed nerd like me bored to the point I could NOT listen to the audio guide one minute longer, says so much about the lack of thought put into bringing this unappealing residence (aside from its view and its gardens) to the general public. I want to write to Pope Francis and tell him how to fix this mess!!! For a start, include the kitchens as an exhibit with a list of the wacky dishes served up to God’s representative on earth! How about break up the tedious gallery of long nosed popes with cards indicating the historical events that occurred during each of their “reigns” that they had some influence on and/or quirky details about them (eg. had children, were assassinated, etc). I want to see the popes’ bathroom and real throne - some humility would not go astray and, dare I say it, it’s what JC would do! The palace has been open to the public for nearly ten years now, so they should have got this right by now. So it’s two stars from me, but some smart rethinking could EASILY turn this into a five star destination!! PS: I must say that the staff are very eager to please and are affable but it’s all about the lack of interesting curation.

Absolutely a must visit. Don't know how I could have missed this so far.It's a walk in the past mixed in with nature, in a well preserved Roman site that after all (these years) gives a good 2/3 hours of excursion.I can only imagine the magnificence of this place back in time and it's a shame over time the site has been robbed from its stones and marbles to build the adjacent buildings.

A must visit place to explore the amazing villa from Roman times. During our visit to Rome I tried to visit but with travel limitations it did not work. And I did not realize how amazing this villa is until we visited it during Easter weekend. If you are a fan of history or even like to see the wonders of the Roman Empire this is a must do and with shuttle, travel options from Rome it can be easily organized if planned into the itinerary.There is a parking lot and it's not pricey. Restrooms and vending machines located near the entrance. In walking distance from the villa are coffee, food options.It's recommended to book tickets online and if not the waiting could take a little bit of time which is not too bad.Overall the tour can take 3 hours minimum with viewing all the historic remains in the villa grounds. It's a bit of a walk but there are plenty of shades, water refill options and it's best to take it slow and plan for a half day exploration considering the garden areas are amazing to relax.The map has route options and it's best to explore in a sequence so as not to miss anything. It is such a huge complex and one of the grandiose villas of Roman times. Roman engineering marvel can be seen in their thermal baths, palace natural lighting set up.One has to visit to see, enjoy and learn so much from Hadrian's Villa.

The site is huge and very peaceful in December. Parking was no issue and the olive groves are an added bonus.It's incredible how tile and paint can persevere for so many centuries. The sheer size of these buildings is almost hard to believe.

Amazing and huge area. I liked it better than ruins in Rome. It's also much quieter, there is less people. We spent 2.5 hours there and had to rush in the end, so I recommend having 3 hours. I also recommend taking the audio guide. Transport is a bit more difficult on Sunday, there was a bus to Tivoli, but to Rome we had to find a bus in the town.

This place is amazing. Is a really big place, so you'll have to walk a lot, but it is totally worth it. They have amazing old constructions and some beautiful spots.

First I must absolutely express my gratitude to Sofia from Coop|Culture at the entrance! There was a problem with my ticket which I had prebought and she sorted it out immediately even though she was not required to do so. I am extremely appreciative for that!The Villa (or palace grounds to be fair) are absolutely incredible. The grounds are vast. And the ruins are really impressive! I can't even imagine how mind blowing it must have been back in its heyday. The balance between conservation and nature is perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and highly recommend it! And because of the size of the whole thing you don't even notice the crowds which is a welcome bonus.

Beautiful place to visit. You can get immersed in the 2nd century AD and the Roman Emperor Hadrian. You should allow approximately 1.5 hours to visit the place. The ticket is not expensive, but I’d suggest to get the audio guide as well as. If you have time, you can get the ticket for Villa Adrian + Villa d’Este so you can also visit the other Villa. Such a great experience!

Really liked this place and boy, is it massive! It's too bad we weren't able to reach all the way to the back of the villa; we were running out of daylight quickly and we didn't want to be lost in there when it got dark. Also a shame that this place wasn't preserved as it should have been back in the day. Our tour guide told us it was because there wasn't enough funding initially to properly preserve the villa. A lot of it is just rubble and you have to kind of envision it on your own what it might have looked like in its hay day.

We came here before 0900h on a Saturday and spent almost three hours exploring the site (no audioguide or guide). We did find a decent amount of shade while we were there, but there are sections that are out in the open. This is an interesting site, with some pretty panoramas. We did notice some small groups with guides, not sure if they're external guides, or you can book them directly with the site.We walked here from where we were staying, but there is parking at the site (sign says €3 for cars and motorbikes are free).Ticket cost is €13, however you can buy a combined ticket for €26 (combines Villa D'Este [which is also €13] and Santuario Ercole Vincitore...when we bought the combined ticket at Villa D'Este it also included Mensa Ponderaria which has very limited open hours).

Good place to visit after doing the major Rome sights. Not very busy when we visited at Easter. Lots of impressive ruins

Definitely a must see if you visit the area. While Villa d’Este and Villa Gregoriana are green areas, with plenty of vegetation and waterfalls, this Villa hosts ruins from the Roman Age.It is like a huge open air museum where you can wonder around, because it is not just a Villa like the name suggests, but more like a whole city.The entrance costs €13 and you can stay as long as you like, on the map they also suggest what to see depending on how much time you want to spend there.Definitely recommended!

Fantastic! Wear comfortable shoes as there are a lot of things to see. Walk with your family. Bring your fury friends too. We spent 3 hours inside but we didn't get a guide. You may do so but you have to wait for the group and follow their itinerary. 👍 First Sunday of the month is free of charge too.

We did a guided but abbreviated tour of this UNESCO site. The site is extensive,and you really could spend a decent amount of time here. The tour was only about an hour, and I wish it were longer because I feel we missed a good bit of what's here, including a smallish museum I wanted to check out. The bad tbing about the site is that it has been heavily cannibalized for building material to construct the nearby Villa D'Este - all the columns, statuary, even the floors were pirated, leaving only the ruined walls of many structures to give you a hint of what the place was originally like. When you visit, keep in mind that its a bit of an uphill walk from the entrance to the ruins, so wear comfy shoes.

very nice! bring bottled water and keep it you can fill them back up and your going to need to! There is nothing much to eat there so bring something to at least snack o n.

Very interesting place to see! It’s quite a big place, so get ready to spend a couple hours in and enjoy every bit of the place. Some places were under consolidation though.

Absolutely one of the most fascinating places we've ever visited. The Villa is massive as well. We spent over two hours wandering through the ruins and still didn't see everything. It was much less crowded than other popular tourist sites as well. Bring your camera, walking shoes and water, and enjoy your time here.

Amazing and worth the stop. You can not believe how big this site is. We went in January, weather perfect, and a few people, which is awesome, we could see a lot. I feel 3 hours is minimal time to spend there if you love history.

Free on sunday, was a nice surprise. The place is charged, very pleasant areas and more charged ones, one can easily imagine the grandeur of the place. A minus of how the site is kept now, I have seen brutal repairs that did not fit well, and lots of contemporary construction waste all over the place, red plastic included. In the muddle of a square there was a digging machine left there... and a contemporary building was built 3 m away from venus temple... At the end of the long three hours walk, we aimed at the coffee machine at the gate, but both me and my partner were tricked, the machine only gave us the milk ib the machiatto, capucino, but not the coffee... we informed the ticket office to put at least a sign of defective machine... The garden was impressive, I have seen rare species and very old olive trees.

A must see, an absolutely huge site, don’t miss the model of how the whole site was laid out before you look around. The large baths complex, pretorium and Canopus at the far end of the site are the most impressive with their scale and reflective pool.

This is an enormous historic site. Ensure you have comfortable walking shoes, preferably closed toed to avoid all the stones getting in. Follow the map closely as it is easy to get lost, and I noticed SOS points along the route to confirm this! Not suitable for people with difficulty walking or parents with pushchairs.

This sprawling complex of ruins was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. The purposes of all the buildings are well described, and the location itself is beautiful. Allow half a day to take it all in. Well worth the effort to travel the distance required.

À must to see with villa deste. I have been ma'y time visiting that site with always the same appetite for beautiful places. Entrance toilette is really bad, management should be ashame and make the necessary maintenance, 1 star less for that

Largo Marguerite Yourcenar, 1, 00010 Tivoli RM, Italy

This place is gorgeous! The gardens were the most impressive thing. Rooms inside the villa were cool, but once you've seen one, you've seen them all. I guess it's lost on me since I'm not the most appreciative of art. The gardens, however, we're beautiful and relaxing. There's a zillion fountains and water features and the deck views are very nice. Worth coming to Tivoli for.

Underrated, 1000 natural fountains + organic untouched 600 years old hydraulic system to create music, open and close doors!!! And this happens exactly every 2 hours ! This place is a must see if you’re in the area. Amazing garden and houses with frescos which is built over a a Roman house. And of course I wouldn’t miss mentioning the stunning panoramic views of the Roman hills, and fields in the horizon. The sunset is the best place to take shots from and I recommend couples to take photo shoots in this garden.

Beautiful place to visit, amazing gardens and fountains, would definitely recommend. Can be hard walking back up from the garden terraces so would recommend some good walking shoes. Would visit again. Can easily buy tickets at the entrance. Free for children, adults €25 each, well worth it. Went in the evening so no waiting time to enter. 1.5 hours is plenty of time for a visit.

Beautiful artwork in the naturally cool building. The garden is stunning and you can have great fun taking some incredible photos here with amazing views over the river Tibur.

A must-see UNESCO heritage site. It is highly recommended to spend at least 3 hours visiting the villa and gardens. The gardens are abundant with water, fountains, statues, ponds, flowers and lovely seating areas. The villa and gardens are spectacular and visiting them is a sheer pleasure. The level of preservation done at the place is exceptional. It can be reached in a 40-minute train ride fromTrimini.

Went here with my friend on a Thursday, there was no line and they had a reduced ticket fee for EU citizens under 25 (€3) normal fee is €10. It was definitely worth the €3, very beautiful garden with lots of fountains and the inside of the Villa was also very pretty. A lot of history here for those that appreciate it, they have a lot of things to read to understand the history of the place. For those that don’t like reading it’s still visually stunning. Highly recommend :)

It's pretty easy to find, if you know which bus stop to get off. Lots to explore, both the extensive gardens with more than 100 fountains and the villa itself. It's worth the trip to Tivoli. We went first thing in the morning to allow the opportunity to see the opera fountain play, as it only runs once every two hours. It is very relaxing despite all the steps.

A wonderful place that combines architecture, landscaping, gardening and hydraulic works in a place. The water works, the fountains, the trees, the playfulness with water make it a wonderful expression of Renaissance wisdom. I understand how this place can influence and inspire water works, fountains and gardening in future palaces and mansions in Europe afterwards. Also a cool place to enjoy coolness in hot summer!

One of the most beautiful gardens you can visit. In addition to countless fountains, a multitude of wonderful plants and sculptures are arranged to create a wonderful experience. Everyone should have this experience and the associated impressions.

Villa has beautiful garden.Lot of fountains and various designs in fountains.I have never seen so many fountains at one place and in small area.Its perfect place away from Rome for spending wonderful day in gardens.You can buy tickets on the spot. There will be line but not much .. Waiting around 15-20 min.

Very beautiful and rich in history. The rooms are incredible to walk through and see the detail and artwork. The grounds are beautifully kept and lush. So many different fountains and areas to sit and relax. Nice on a warm day.

An outstanding building and grounds. The rooms are highly decorated with colourful frescoes. The gardens housing the ornate fountains are equally impressive. Steep slopes can be a little slippy. There are golf type vehicles to ferry people if needed. Easily accessible by metro and bus.

Absolutely spectacular place! Villa d'Este has many gorgeous fountains, sculptures, and also a great view of Tivoli. The whole place is super green and calm. I recommend spending around two hours here, villa is quite big and you certainly don't want to miss anything from what's there. Buying tickets in advance is not necessary but recommendable, and I also recommend to come in the morning (before 10-11am) since there is not so much people at that time.

An absolutely delightful garden, as well as some beautiful painted interiors. When I visited last week a lot of the fountains were off for essential maintenance (which they were clear about when buying tickets with a 3 euro discount). Even with most not operating the gardens were fabulous, if all the fountains were on it would be 5 stars. We took some nibbles to have a picnic by the main pools which was lovely. It was also interesting to learn that the famous Hungarian composer Ferenc Liszt had also lived at the villa for a time according to a plaque near the entrance. Wonderful views over the surrounding area and an opulent and lush feel, worth the visit even without all the fountains on!

The garden is absolutely delightful, with excellent planning and design, and it offers a stunning view from the outlook platform. Unfortunately, the foundations were closed during our visit. It would be better if more attention were given to plant maintenance.The service from the receptionist was okay.

The Villa is undoubtedly the main attraction in Tivoli. I recommend visiting right after opening or two hours before closing to avoid crowds and enjoy the beautiful views. The park and fountains appear to be under partial maintenance, as many grottos were closed and some fountains were not working. The Dragon's fountain, for instance, was being repaired.

This is a place with visiting. Just over an hour drive from Rome. The villa has rooms with frescos. But the best is the stunning gardens. The fountains are amazing several different waterfalls and water features to see. Well worth it.

What a lovely place to visit. Historical building with beautiful gardens together with magnificent water features. Has wonderful views overlooking the local area. Well worth a visit, get the train from Rome with the cost for 4 people,.only 12 euros.

Stunning views with plenty of fountains! Worth to visit, ticket is 15€ per adult and free for kids. We spent couple of hours in a great place!

Incredible day trip so close to Rome. Plan at least 1.5 hours to tour the villa itself in addition to the garden which is best on a day without rain. The garden is extremely beautiful and filled with many many features, mostly unique fountains and statues.I don’t recommend buying tickets beforehand during shoulder or off season because online tickets are more expensive. You can just walk up to the ticket booth in person and buy them without waiting in line if you’re not visiting during summer.Only paid parking is available within the area.

Villa d'Este is like stepping into a fairytale garden straight out of a Renaissance painting! I visited this stunning villa while exploring Tivoli, and let me tell you, it blew me away. The gardens are absolutely breathtaking, with lush greenery, trickling fountains, and intricate statues at every turn. Plus, the grandeur of the villa itself is something else – you can practically feel the history seeping through the walls. Whether you're into history, architecture, or just looking for a peaceful escape from the city, Villa d'Este has got you covered.This place is recommended for anyone seeking a magical experience in Italy. Whether you're a history buff, a garden enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates beauty in all its forms, a visit to Villa d'Este is an absolute must-do. Trust me, you won't regret spending a day wandering through these enchanting gardens and soaking in the beauty and history of this incredible UNESCO World Heritage site.

Good historical site of a cardinal in the past. Stunning water features and landscape. Located in the city center.

Paid full price for entry, no one told us that half the fountains were shut off or not operational due to maintenance. Wouldn’t bother with the journey €15 euros to see an empty villa and basically three working fountains, loads of paths were blocked off with trees with bags over them. Best part was the views from the side of villa…Did come in January to be fair and the art decor of the house was actually pretty amazing, shame they were just empty rooms

Wow - I was recommended to go for a day trip while staying in Rome and it didn’t disappoint. Such a big site and so much to see. I took the Short Course audio guide and expanded a bit from that - took 3 hours to do the place justice. The one big downside is the lack of any toilets or cafes within the site, so plan ahead on water etc - it looks like there was and the place is being renovated so hopefully that issue is resolved soon.

The lady who owned our accommodation recommended here and we're so glad she did. It was such good value for money. If disabled you and carer get in for free and children get in free too.Beautiful to wander around and lots of cats that live there that love cuddles!

Easy walk from the train station, large site with lots to explore and a good value cafe. Very interesting. I listened to the free Rick Steve's audio tour while visiting (available to download online) and that helped guide my visit a bit. The museum was closed and most of the mosaics were covered so maybe offer a winter discount when there's less to see?

Poorly managed pearl of Rome.The place itself is amazing and you can literally immerse into this ancient city that used to host 50000 habitats in its best period.Unfortunately, the troubles start from the entrance. The security/ tickets control guy was hostile, there is no clear guide on “how to plan your visit”, there are NO TOILETS on the entire complex (only one before the entrance) so I have found a few HUMAN WASTE while exploring, maps of the place are confusing and descriptions of places only show dry facts. The best collection of well preserved statues and paintings is closed.All of the above leaves a feeling of being grossed out.

Such a great place with lots of mosaic floors! Far from the madding crowds of the more touristy attractions and an easy train ride from Rome. It is very big and there are lots of buildings to explore. They don't supply a guide when you buy your ticket but you can use their app (or research it before your visit and download a nap off the internet). Plan to be there the whole day between seeing Ostia Antica and also exploring the town around it.

Amazing park. Easy to find. Medium size parking space in front but free. Possibility to go to toilet before to enter park. Nice staff. Fountains with drinkable water throughout the park. Clean, safe and well signed. Even if you do not buy the site map, there are plenty of signs in the park which show you where you are and where to go. Audio tour and guided tours available. Where possible adapted to accommodate wheelchair or stroller access, but of course it remains an excavation site so not flattened roads everywhere... safe for children. Good explanations and lots of beautiful Roman remnants to be seen!And good to know; every FIRST SUNDAY of the month entrance for FREE! (In all museums in Rome actually)

Underrated ruins. Super cheap to get to as a single metro ticket will get you from anywhere in Rome to Ostia Antica in about 30-45 minutes with a train change at Piramide stop. The ruins are vast, some are quite well preserved. Tons of info placards and a gorgeous ancient amphitheater that they still use. A great look at ancient Rome away from Rome and a great way to spend half a day away from the crowds. Good, reasonably priced cafe about halfway through the ruins. There's a few Nesoni to fill bottles along the main road but you might have to brave some bees to use them.

The park is really interesting. Much bigger than it seems and one can walk pretty much anywhere, inside the ruins etc. My only concern were the prices, 19 euros for the full price and another 4 for a map is quite a lot. For a similar price you get to visit Forum Romanum and Colosseum (which were much more beautiful and interesting in my opinion).

Ostia Antica is a captivating historical gem, just a stone's throw away from Rome. Stepping into this ancient Roman port town is like entering a time machine.The well-preserved ruins offer a vivid glimpse into daily life during the Roman Empire. Walking along the cobbled streets, you can imagine the bustling markets, thriving taverns, and the vibrant community that once thrived here.The highlight for me was the stunning theater, where you can still sense the echoes of performances from centuries past. The intricate mosaics, grand temples, and the well-preserved baths all attest to the architectural prowess of the era.What makes Ostia Antica even more special is the peaceful atmosphere. Unlike its more famous neighbor, Rome, you can explore the site without battling crowds. It's a serene journey through history, and I relished every moment.If you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a day trip from Rome that offers a different perspective on ancient Rome, Ostia Antica is a must-visit. It's a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered, and I highly recommend adding it to your list of must-see destinations.

This place is a must see!! You’ll be able to walk at leisure through a real ancient roman city but without the immense crowds of central Rome.Skip the ruins at the beginning and head into the area of the theater and other temples and work your way back and marvel at this beautiful place.(Visited over 6 months ago in the summer. Apparently the mosaics are currently under maintenance)One negative aspect: the only clerk at the ticket office refused to call a taxi for me because it “wasn’t a service they offered” when I, being all by myself was unable to flag one at closing time. I walked 2 minutes to the nearest cafe and was in a cab 10 minutes later.

If you are into history or archeology like we are then this is a must visit place. The site is truly amazing. What we were disappointed with is it appears this has become a money machine and more about getting as many tourists in as possible than preserving this awesome site. We saw photos from decades past and much that was once stunning has been lost to the millions of people, kids and adults alike, running amok all over the ruins. There is so much that is in the scrub and trees around this site that is left to be uncovered yet I saw no evidence of work being done to uncover or preserve. Pieces of history were being handled by the masses without any attempts to control them. More work on preservation balanced with the tourist machine should be done.

Great Ancient Rome site, one of the best in Italy. No major crowds, and some areas of the site I didn’t see anyone at all. You’re free to explore the ruins, there isn’t that much off limits which is why this place is so great. There’s also many fine mosaics and frescoes which you’ll stumble across, and the beauty is there’ll be no other tourist around looking at it but you. Because of this, your imagination easily runs wild.

We went to Ostia Antica on our last day in Rome, fleeing the busy and full city with fully booked Museums and long lines. Beautiful place, a full city (of ruins)- loved the frescoes, theatre and relaxing atmosphere.Free entry for the kids (15 and 12).And btw, we checked our bags in 8 hours early at the nearby airport and took a short taxi ride from there.

A lovely day out not far from Central Rome (took an hour by public transport).It is well maintained and the audioguide was very useful.Large cafe and toilets but the museum was shut.A hidden gem and must see for those who like Roman ruins

Well worth a visit. Easy to get to from Rome via train. A more manageable site to visit with young kids (rather than something like Pompeii). We brought a wagon to transport our two toddlers and while we had to lift it up for some stairs, overall we were glad we brought it. It’s a lot of walking for little kids.

A really wonderful place to visit, the ruins are beautiful and show so much of the Roman life style. There are even hoove marks on the stones. It really feels like you could turn a corner and bump into a Roman citizens

Increíble el lugar! Impresionante!Dieciocho euros la entradaSi te alojas cerca del Panteón, puedes tomar el autobús X30 y bajar en Pirámide, donde se coge el tren a Ostia Antica(Translated by Google)Incredible place! Awesome!Eighteen euros per ticketIf you are staying near the Pantheon, you can take the X30 bus and get off at Piramide, where you take the train to Ostia Antica

We spent a great afternoon there (although one should plan to stay an entire day to visit it all). It was empty and very sunny. We even found a Roman dice and brought it to the people working there, so quite an adventure in the end. If you’re staying in Rome, you should definitely come here (and it’s very easy to reach through the metro mare) !

Such a hidden gem! We have visited Rome several times during the last few years but only made it out here for the first time in December 2023. There was hardly anyone around which made the visit to this ancient city very magical. The restoration is incredible and inspiring. And the best thing is the cafeteria has amazing food! I absolutely loved their carbonara. Make sure if you visit to take the time to see the nearby castle as it’s included in the ticket.

So you’ve seen the Coliseum and everywhere you look there’s more ruins in Rome. But you can’t get close and your kids are tired of standing in lines to see more displays in a museum.Take a trip to Ostia Antica and let them run crazy (ok maybe not super crazy) through an ancient town. Get up close and personal with the living and trading spaces of people from 2000 years ago.Check out the ruts in the road from Roman chariots. See the Roman toilets. Figure out how they used the three seashells (actually a sea sponge on a stick). Check out the baths.Just like Venice, try and get a little lost.Unfortunately while we were there the mosaics in front of the shops were covered to protect them. This is seasonal.The audio guide, while informative, also was very slow. Ymmv. If you get one, bring normal wired earbuds as they are far more convenient.Super easy train ride using your bus pass (or €1.50 each way). Trains come and go every 20 minutes.We spent 4-5 hours here and didn’t see everything.This is definitely not a wheelchair accessible location.

Tremendous, fascinating Roman ruins with lots of interesting spots in what was an entire city. We chose to just walk, not take the shuttle, and we spent about 90 minutes and felt like we saw most of it. Large and not too many visitors when we went, so sometimes we felt like we had the place to ourselves.

This place is very huge archeological site of an ancient city and it is really worth to visit it if you're staying in Rome. It got endless small passages and building to explore so if you really want to throughfully explore all the site I recommend to spend here all the day. There are many interesting informations about this place on signs around and you also can find many beautiful ancient mosaics. There are also several relatively high building on which you could enter and see everything from higher point of view.I recommend to visit it as earlier as you can, because there are almost no people then and you can admire ruins and nature in quite and peace.

Amazing ruins of a Roman city - better preserved than Pompeii. It is only an hour drive from Rome. Ostia Antica was the sea port for Rome back in the days of the roman Empire, so was of great importance. It is easy to spend a day wandering around. Due to it's importance you can see theatres, baths, shops even apartment buildings in remarkable condition.

Bellísimo parque arqueológico romano, muy extenso y súper interesante. Vale totalmente la pena visitarlo.Precio de la entrada por adulto €18, se compra en el ingreso al parque e incluye otros museos (el castillo papal en el borgo de ostia, el museo marítimo de Fiumicino y algunos más). La entrada tiene una validez de ocho días.(Translated by Google)Beautiful Roman archaeological park, very extensive and super interesting. It is totally worth visiting.Admission price per adult €18, purchased at the entrance to the park and includes other museums (the papal castle in the Borgo di Ostia, the maritime museum of Fiumicino and some more). The ticket is valid for eight days.

Ostia Antica is a perfect day trip from Rome. It's easily accessible by train (30 minutes from Porta San Paolo station), and a less crowded than other sites in Rome.Founded around the 4th century BC, this strategic port at the Tiber River's mouth was the gateway for goods flowing into Rome.Ostia Antica flourished for centuries. Around its streets, there's the forum (the city's heart), remarkably preserved apartment blocks, bathhouses, and even a theater. Shops and taverns line the streets, offering a glimpse of a bustling commercial center. However, as Rome's power declined, so too did Ostia Antica's fortunes. It was gradually abandoned, leaving a remarkably preserved portrait of a once-vibrant Roman port city.

This landmark is the most beautiful and recognizable one in Rome, Italy. Please book you ticket and slot beforehand. very busy but well controlled by the staff. you can reach easily by taking metro. its a symbol of ancient rome. Useful audio guide. All of the basics were included. You can get the overall picture about the Colosseum and it's history. Of course, priority entry line is also big benefit. Would definitely recommend.The Colosseum is more than just an ancient amphitheater built in the 1st century—it's a symbol of Rome. Naturally, it's one of the most popular monuments in town. The place is undeniably magnificent from the outside. Standing 160 feet tall and made of brick, concrete, and limestone, the Colosseum is an awe-inspiring testament to Roman building.

This was a bucket list item of mine, and although we arrived too late in the day to visit, it was still amazing to visit at night. The shear size of it is something to see. To hear the history of what occurred, there is equally amazing.The Metro station was nearby, so it's easily accessible. A quick hop on and hop off had you in multiple places in the city.A visit here at sunset makes for a lighter crowd and some great pictures.

Simply incredible! Be prepared to walk up and down a lot of stairs. NOTE: The line when we arrived was SUPER long. Make sure you ask one of the attendants at the entrance which line you should be in otherwise you're burning time. Also, it's HIGHLY recommended that you purchase tickets online so you don't waste even more time standing in line.

We were so lucky to get the underground tickets when we visited the Colosseum. We got to see more than the regular or arena floor ticket.We have to wait for the employee at the Colosseum to lead our group of visitors assigned to the same schedule. The group is about 15 people. The lady who led our group spoke good English and she was very informative about the history of the Colosseum.I enjoyed my visit to the Colosseum. Especially the underground tour is the best if you have the chance to get it. The underground tour includes visiting the arena floor and the regular sections for all the ticketed visitors.

What a place! This is a must when in Rome, I could have stayed here all day just looking at it. The history behind it is fascinating.A warning for those with children, you will need ID for them. We were able to use a photo of their passports as we didn't have the originals with us.It is very busy - we visited in March and the queues were huge, so it must be worse in the summer months. We pre-booked a 'skip the line' guided tour, so we were able to skip the huge lines. I would highly recommend booking through one of the many guided tour providers (we used Show Me Italy, booked through Trip Advisor). I would also recommend booking to visit the arena floor, as this isn't included in the standard admission.The pictures speak for themselves here!

This place is well worth the visit and make sure to book your all inclusive ticket well in advance, which will let you skip with waiting lines, and will also give you access to the Roman Forum.I would definitely allow yourself at least a couple of hours to walk around the Forum as it is such a vast space with lots to see and do. Your all access tickets will allow you to see the exhibitions inside too.As for the Colosseum, what an incredible piece of history. Words cannot describe how stunning this structure is. Definitely a highlight of our trip in Rome.

Great piece of history from the ancient Roman Empire. Highly recommend to use a tour guide as they will get you to the front of the queues and will give history as well. You should definitely stop in here if your are in Rome. I have been twice and still am in awe when I go. Out of season is best if you can do it less crowds and not hot.

Visited my first 7 wonders of the world with Crown Tours and it was a superb experience 👍🏻Have always loved watching the Roman history shows and this was top of the list when we are planning our Europe trip - definitely worthwhile to get access to the Arena (maybe even the underground tour) if you are into history of the Colosseum!🏟️ It was an eye opening experience stepping into the gladiator arena, imaging thousands of Romans looking down at you from the partially restored stadium, and actual gruesome fights taking place on the floor you stood on.Definitely a must visit from anywhere in the world given its rich history and status 👍🏻

It is as amazing as you thought it would be. Definitely by tickets in advance and if you can afford skip the line, do it. Getting in and through security takes a while.I took a tour including the gladiator entrance and don't recommend it. It's cool to see but the view isn't so different from above. The tour affirmed that the movies usually did a good job of depicting history.I didn't know ahead of time that the second floor was full of information and displays. It's interesting and you can pick and choose what is interesting for you.It can get hot, a lot of people brought fans and umbrellas.There is a bathroom outside after you leave. It cost a Euro to use and unless you really have to go, I do not recommend it.

The ultimate Roman masterpiece! Well preserved and well presented. Tickets must be booked in advance from official site. Google map location search too will direct you to official site. You can walk along the route mentioned, experience and exit.There is an audio/video guide which can be purchased on site with an additional cost of EUR 6.00. However, it has only overall details like history, construction, gladiators etc. no point to point guiding and explanation relevant to each point.There is an underground section below arena. To visit it needs a full experience ticket which I could not find in the web site at a glance.Rome has all the systems in place to do things easy. But there are no proper explanations on the web sites or people concerned. All attractive looks like taken over by guided tour operators who charge significantly high prices. All attractions in Rome, book online in advance to avoid disappointment.

Beautiful place, definitely worth going inside to have a look.Make sure to buy tickets before hand to save some time.I would recommend visiting either at 9am or in the evening after 3 as these are the coolest times to visit, during mid day it can get very hot inside.If you are a photographer, make sure to take a telephoto lens as well as a wide angle 16mm lens - as this will allow you to take photos of the finer details when you are inside.

Absolutely breathtaking!Would recommend buying tickets in advance, as there was a long line in front. However, we got in after maybe 10 minutes of waiting, as we booked our tickets online the day before. The place is beautiful, rich with history, has several souvenir/book shops, and an elevator in case you have a stroller or are a wheelchair user.Highly recommend visiting, together with the Roman Forum, it will take your breath away.

Such wonderful and rich history to see when visiting. Our guide was quite lovely, and gave us some fantastic information. Unfortunately it was pouring rain when we visited the night tour, but still incredibly worth it. The stormy weather added a layer of ambiance to our tour. Absolutely would recommend to anyone that loves history

Visiting the Colosseum in Rome promises an unforgettable experience steeped in history and grandeur. However, it's essential to be prepared for the massive queues, particularly after 9-10 am. To fully appreciate this iconic landmark, allocate a minimum of two hours for your visit.Despite the lengthy wait times, once inside, you'll be awestruck by the magnificence of this ancient amphitheater. The atmosphere is palpable as you walk through the corridors where gladiators once roamed, imagining the spectacles that unfolded in this historic arena. While the queues may test your patience, the opportunity to explore the Colosseum is well worth the wait, offering a glimpse into the fascinating past of ancient Rome.** Tip: Buy your tickets at: https://www.coopculture.it/en/products/ticket-colosseum-roman-forum-palatine_24h/ to avoid Queues

Long wait in there but the surroundings are also beautiful. But the tickets before or just appreciate it from outside. If you pay for the tour get it with a guide. They know the juicy details. Bring a hat or an umbrella and comfortable shoes.

A place worth visiting once in a lifetime. feels like going back 3000 years ago. very well maintained, and they do cool program for tourism. Buy tickets online to save time. Tickets can enter 3 locations close to each other, suitable for spending 1 day to visit and enjoy. marvel at the construction and design capabilities of the roman civilization. I'm not really happy about what happened here, in the past, but I have a lot of respect for history.

Beautiful place to visit, if you care for historical architecture. We visited the place in Mid August when the temperature was really high. But it was still very enjoyable. The museum/display on the top floor was very informative. And it looks as if they are still building it out. The restaurant right across the street are very convenient as well. Worlds largest amphitheatre and still remains the largest!!! Great view

Amazing Historical Place to visit once in a life time. We did not purchase tickets in advance but that was okay. We were in line about 30 minutes. That was it. Our Tickets can access to Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hills about 48 hours. Once we got tickets, we filled our water bottles, and they let us go in, meanwhile people who booked a tour were still in line to get in. It was amazing.

Just a fantastic building. Truly a wonder of the world. Was awestuck by the grandeur of the place. It was so huge. It was a great experience recalling the days when the gladiators fought in the arena. With 45k people roaring. Just a fantastic place. Would highly recommend getting a paid tour to visit in advance.

It's the Colosseum not much more to say other than it's stunning, the atmosphere and the history is amazing. We went on a guided tour at night, which was good and it looks so great at night with all the lights. Definitely do the bottom part as well where the gladiators were you get to see some of the old parts.

A spectacular and monumental place. It’s the story before your eyes. There’s a lack of adjectives. Come in and take it easy. Photos are consequences of what you are able to see and imagine. The ticket is cheap and I recommend you choose the ticket that gives access to the galleries. Walk around and use the subway as a means of transport. And be sure to do the Palatine and the Roman Forum. I’ve been there twice and it’s worth every penny. The sunset here is beautiful.

What an amazing historical place. You'll easily spend a full day visiting the Colosseum and Forum-Palatine (all included in the 16 euro pass).I advise you to book a tour guide, what we did through GetYouGuide.. but we still had to wait (~1h30) and pay for the entrance.It was a pretty long time because all tickets are private and they'll need your ID to do it.

If the line is way too long, you can have a great experience by just walking around the entire Coliseum. That means that if you can fight the lines and get in, it's pretty remarkable and they must see..By tickets in advance is your best bet. If you're real smart, book a rooftop restaurant a month in advance and you'll have a great view of it.

Buy tickets in advance and the long line goes very quickly. You need your passport to enter at the gate and there is a museum upstairs. Once in, you can stay as long as you like. It’s pretty cool to be in one of the seven wonders of the world. This is a must see if you are in Rome. It’s an amazing sight at night, all lit up too.

A masterpiece!World heritage site.A magnificent structure built almost 2,000 years ago.A great energy in the oar of this magnificent building.Bigs queue to go inside so book in advance.It’s still great to see even not going inside.A MUST visit when in Rome!

The Colosseum in Rome is an iconic landmark that left me in awe with its grandeur, history, and architectural magnificence. Visiting this ancient amphitheater was a truly unforgettable experience that allowed me to step back in time and imagine the gladiatorial battles and spectacles that once took place within its walls.From the moment I approached the Colosseum, I was struck by its imposing presence and the sheer scale of its structure. Standing in the heart of Rome, it's a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the ancient Roman civilization.As I entered the Colosseum and explored its interior, I was fascinated by the intricate details of its design and the engineering marvels that allowed it to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. The tiers of seating, the underground chambers where gladiators awaited their fate, and the arena itself all spoke volumes about the cultural and social significance of this remarkable amphitheater.While walking through the corridors and archways of the Colosseum, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the history that unfolded within these walls. Imagining the roar of the crowds, the clash of swords, and the bravery of the gladiators added depth to my visit and made me appreciate the Colosseum even more.Moreover, the Colosseum offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, including the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, which further enriched my experience. It's a place where history comes alive, and every corner tells a story of ancient Rome's power, glory, and legacy.In addition to its historical significance, the Colosseum is also a symbol of resilience and endurance. Despite centuries of wear and tear, it still stands as a testament to human achievement and the enduring spirit of Rome.Overall, visiting the Colosseum was a highlight of my trip to Rome, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply experiencing the awe-inspiring wonders of the ancient world. It's a place that truly captures the imagination and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.

My main motivation to visit Rome was to see this place. It's a place like no other - the size of it and look of it leaves you wondering and want to go into history to see how this was utilized.Whether inside or looking from outside, both views are just fantastic.I highly recommend buying tickets in advance or book the time slot 30 days in advance (if you bought Roma Pass). Luckily due to pre booking it took us less than 10 minutes to enter.There are lifts for visitors with strollers / people with wheelchairs so no worries if you are one of these groups.

If you've made it to Rome, you'll probably see the Colosseum anyway. It's one of the things my kids most wanted to see, and it came included in the ticket for the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. We did the regular ticket where we walked around on our own and didn't regret not having a guide or not being able to access the lower and upper levels. It was definitely worth seeing. It was definitely crowded and touristy, but it's one of the few ruined buildings you can still step inside and walk into the same spaces as the ancient Romans. You should absolutely get your tickets in advance, it helped skip a lot of lines.

Beautiful historical mark, but if you want to enter inside buy tickets in advance. We wanted to enter on the first Sunday of the month ( when the entrance is free) The waiting line in mid-day was 4h. So I guess early in the morning is the best visit time.

A visit inside is highly recommended, once in, one can only marvel at the engineering feat of ancient Romans, it's size, it's complexity is breathtaking! Brings into perspective what gladiators and martyrs would have felt like! Also, very informative video screens and scale models of the actual equipment used in construction gives visitors further insight!

Great visit. We did the underground tour in Italian and, despite not fully understanding the guide, it was well worthwhile.Buying tickets beforehand was essential. Book early if you want to do the tour in English!

Words, photos and even videos can’t do justice to this most iconic monument in Rome. You have to come here in person to immerse yourself into this vase amphitheatre in order to appreciate the grandeur of this Roman wonder.Underground site cannot be accessed unless under the lead of a guide, so make sure to book the ticket with this option way in advance to avoid disappointment since there is no so called off season for the Colosseum.No need to arrive earlier, it is strictly precisely timed entrance, which is understood as it’s one of the most popular tourist sites in the world.Also, it’s worth to pay a visit to the shop in upstairs, lots of sculptures facsimiles, colourful magnets and fascinating souvenirs.

Loved it! I was dreaming about coming here since I was a child.We got our tickets in advance and we're in priority line, it took us 15 minutes only of waiting time.There are a lot of people inside but not too many. The arena is incredible.Our tickets included Roman forum and the palace.Being your id or passport

Amazing piece of history to see and would recommend to anyone. Unfortunately it is plagued by many people trying to scam you into paying 3 times the price to skip the tickets queue. I would ignore anyone who offers you these tour "deals". Otherwise it's a great day out, filled with interesting information and great views! Highly recommend!

I recommend buying a ticket a month earlier. I bought tickets through the official website. It saved us a lot of time.Ticket for the evening, then entry to the Roman Forum is valid for 24 hours. The forum was amazing. 👍🏻

The Colosseum is simply astounding, a masterpiece of history that leaves me speechless. Thinking that, two thousand years ago, Roman emperors watched epic battles between humans and wild animals like lions or tigers here, takes my breath away. This place is a symbol of human strength and bravery, as well as a bridge to Rome's glorious past. Standing in front of the Colosseum, I feel a deep connection to history, as if time stands still. It is, without a doubt, one of humanity's most impressive achievements.

The number 1 reason for my trip to Rome. I had always wanted to see the Colosseum and it didn't disappoint. Just the size of it was breath taking and the condition was still stunning. Throughout the day it got busier and busier, so go as early as possible for the most uninterrupted visit.The tour was definitely worth the money as we learnt lots of interesting bits of information.

It is okay but I don't really get the hype with it. Rome is full of fountains, but this is maybe the biggest. It it extremely crowded. It is one of that places, landmarks you just need to cross of your list in a big city. From an architectural point of view it is very beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful! You turn the corner and see such a spectacular fountain - beautiful in every way.If you want a pic up front take 15 mins to wait and grab a great spot with your family. It's worth it.

We had a great time in the fountain with friends and took some lovely pictures. It was enjoyable to be in the water, tossing coins and making memories. Despite it being 5:00 AM, there was still a large crowd waiting for us to take pictures. This place is quite famous, and people often visit with their loved ones. The night is especially beautiful.

The fountain was a spectacular site today surrounded with beautiful weather, we arrived at 15:00 local time on a Tuesday and safe to say there were at least 1500 people there taking photos and all pushing to get a photo close to the fountains edge. It's very hard to get through the crowd. Beautiful clear water with an aqua blue background. Very happy to have seen it first hand. 😀

One of the most famous monuments in Rome was a little disappointing for us. The fountain is without a doubt beautiful, the work of art is truly amazing, but it is a bit unluckily placed - it's surrounded on all sides by large buildings, so there is quite a small space around the fountain for the large number of people who want to take pictures with the fountain. It was also surprising to discover that the fountain is fenced on all sides.

A place you have to visit in Rome, I had the bad luck of going on their cleaning day but it was still pretty crowded there, beautiful place but try to go super early in the morning near sunrise because this place is packed. If you want good pictures go to the United Colors Of Benetton, up the stairs to the first floor and look for the window. It’s a great view if you wanna take pictures away from the crowd and show the view of the fountain.

Absolutely amazing. Such detail in it..It was very crowded so be careful with bags because its easy pickings for pick pockets. Definitely a must see when visiting Rome. We even got to see a proposal while we were there.

Great and beautiful place, many pickpockets and too many tourists. Would recommend to go very early in the morning or late at night. Also, I recommend to not eat in restaurants around the fountain as they have inflated prices as well as tourist oriented food, instead of real Italian food that you can get in areas such as Pignetto or small streets that have less passage.

This is a very popular and crowded are in Rome so it’s a bit difficult to get photos of the fountain if you want to only have yourself in the shot. The fountain is amazing to see in person as it’s architecture is immaculate and worth the visit. You maybe bothered by people trying to sell junk to you but overall must visit. The atmosphere is amazing and the fountain is featured in many different movies so it’s nice to be able to see in person.

Remarkable is all I can say. Beautiful white marble. It was a little crowded but didn't have a problem in the month of November. Getting some really good pictures. Definitely worth a visit and it's free and you can take some time and sit and just enjoy at the moment.

Well, if you want to return to Rome u must visit and remember to throw a coin over your left shoulder with your right hand standing with your back to the fountain 😁.It's part of Rome to experience a great walk and a must photo has thousands of other tourists who stand with you.We had the luck to have our room a minute walk from the fountain so we came early to do the ceremony.But we were there at night also and its also great .

It's another bucket list location which we visited in July 2023, yes, when the weather was hitting 40C! Not ideal but didn't spoil the experience.The fountain is truly amazing, make sure to really spend time looking over the detail of the fountain, lots of gems within the design of it.Just remember it's a popular spot, you are not going to get the place to yourself by any means. Easily thousands at any one time.Also worth visiting both in the day time and at night.

Spectacular. Not my taste as I prefer antiquity but impressive as a baroque masterpiece of aquatic art. Would love to do behind the scenes tour.Recommend that visits be made early morning or towards sunset for shade if visiting in the summer and to avoid excessive crowds. It's in a small piazza and was wall to wall with people at 5pm.

The fountain itself is amazingly beautiful! It is quite packed with people throughout the day. Go at night! The lights on the water make it feel surreal. Also less people. Definitely check it out if you're in Rome.

Perfect place for pictures and sharing a "gelato" with your friends or that special someone. It's beautiful and don't forget to throw your coin and make a wish. Also you can drink the water from a special fountain because it is said that he who drinks from the water of the fountain, gets back to Rome. So, you never know ;)

The size is the most impressive. The photos just do not do it justice. It is huge, definitely worth seeing. I must have spent a good 30 mins just looking at this beautiful fountain. A must see I'm Rome, for sure. Always going to be very busy though.Try and find a spot to sit and enjoy it from and make sure to take pics!

It’s in such a beautiful area, the sun and every angle especially the time we went was so great to see this fountain but the crowds really ruined the experience, unfortunately people are so rude they simply don’t care for anyone but their own experience and wouldn’t mind pushing or shoving you out of the way. Waiting almost in lines just to get to the front. We went in out of season times and still it was so overcrowded. We got to throw in the coin and make a wish which was iconic!

This was our first time in Rome and also seeing the Trevi Fountain.It is a beautiful masterpiece and definitely a WOW moment with a breathtaking view, making it a must-visit attraction in Rome. However, there are large crowds as soon as it opens, especially in the afternoon.We arrived at 7:30am and it was already getting busy but not too bad as we had a pram which was easy to navigate around there.Don't forget to bring coins to toss into the fountain and make a wish, adding a touch of magic to your experience. Overall, while the crowds can be overwhelming, the Trevi Fountain's charm and tradition make it a memorable stop in Rome.

I had visited the Trevi Fountain once before, ten years ago, and during this visit to Rome, the grand and magnificent sculptures at the back were truly overwhelming. It seems that nowadays, there are fewer people tossing coins into the fountain. I recommend coming in the morning; it's difficult to get a good view during the day due to the crowds.

This place was a lot more beautiful than I expected. The architecture was amazing and so well kept. It's very well lit at night and also really nice to look at it during the day. It's in a nice area with other beautiful buildings (one right across from the fountain, see picture) and souvenir shops! As many others say this is a must stop while your in Rome, you will not be disappointed!

Stunning! So glad we made time to swing by and see the majesty of this public art in a small unassuming square. Photos don't do it justice. It's especially impressive at night. We emerged from a small side street to see this massively gorgeous fountain with rippling turquoise water all lit up against the evening's black sky. Just glorious! I'd expect nothing less from Rome.

Majestic Trevi Fountain is the biggest Baroque example of its kind in the city of Rome and completed in 1762. Can be very crowded but spectacular to see it on a decent day with sunshine. If there is too many people try coming back if you have enough time. It is at the intersection of 3 streets hence the derived name. We found a hotel nearby for lunch that did an all can you eat buffet for a great price so we had a wonderful day. Definitely worth seeing this masterpiece if you're visiting Rome.

Gorgeous fountain, as beautiful and cool a structure as the hype, but there was basically a mob around the area (we went in April, on a weekday morning, should've been off-peak, so I can't imagine what it must be like in the summer), which severely hampered the experience. Nevertheless, still worth going, a lot of lovely shops nearby. Just don't expect to get pictures without people in them!

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is a masterpiece of Baroque artistry. Its grandeur and intricacy leave a lasting impression. The cascading waters and mythological sculptures create a mesmerizing spectacle. Tossing a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain is a tradition, believed to ensure a return to Rome. The square surrounding the fountain is always abuzz with visitors, adding to its lively atmosphere. Lit up at night, it's a sight to behold. The Trevi Fountain is a symbol of Rome's eternal charm and a must-see for any traveler in the city.

Be prepared as this will be very crowded, but people tend to move along once they take their pictures. It is beautiful to see. There are some places around to go and get a bite and get a nice walk.

It is absolutely beautiful and historic. If you're in Rome, you must have a look. Get a photo and make a wish. It can get very crowded here, very. There are plenty of options for food in this area too, desserts and other things as well.

This a must see in Rome, period. Breathtaking when you are just walking on the narrow streets, turn around the corner and boom, find this wonder of monument. Sure it is super mega hiper over crowded, but still it is something unique and magic. To me it is worth going at night with the lights. It's also customary to throw a coin aver your shoulder to the fountain and make a wish.

Absolutely stunning fountain, was speechless - spectacular. Walking through some side streets and all of a sudden it's there in front of you. Definitely a must when in Rome and don't forget to toss a coin into the fountain when making a wish. Definitely recommend 👌

Trevi Fountain is just as stunning as they say! Yes, it's packed, but there’s something magical about this place, especially in the evening lights. Made sure to throw a coin over your shoulder for good luck. Small tip: Early mornings are less crowded if you want that perfect shot without the crowds.

Absolutely stunning pictures do not do this justice! If you go in the afternoon be prepared for big crowds still really fun to take this site in with people buzzing about. But the best time to go see the Trevi fountain is at 5:20 in the morning (I know it's crazy but hear me out!). It was a nice easy brisk walk to the fountain. For us the sun was starting to wake up and there were minimal people at the fountain at this time. We were able to get whatever pictures we wanted with ease. Also travel tip if you are facing the fountain and walk down to the right there is a smaller drinking fountain (it's said that this fountain is for Lovers and if you drink out of it together you are promised eternal love!) we walked from our hotel to the fountain and it was absolutely wonderful.

Packed with people, but don't let that put you off, its well with the visit, it's much bigger than i expected and the sculptures are very impressive.Easy enough to get to the front and get that all important selfie and throw in a coin.Enjoy, it has a great atmosphere.

This fountain is so beautiful, the actual structure is breathtaking but the crowds really hinder your experience. It is so unbelievably crowded here at all hours except for probably 1am - 5am.It's hard to get a good photo with the amount of people, the coin toss is cute so I recommend doing that at least. You'll probably only be here for a few minutes

Beautiful fountain, could admire the details for weeks if not longer. We thought it might be less busy in evening so planned to visit then but there were large crowds even still. We did get nice photos though.

It's visually very beautiful. It is compatible with the surrounding structures. The morning is calm just after sunrise. For the photo, I recommend taking it especially from the church side or from the other diagonal corner. It doesn't fit into the frame. There is no toilet nearby, only cafe-restaurant toilets can be used. Be careful with your bag.

Simply stunning! One of our favourite monuments in Rome. This is a must visit with no excuse. Incredible to see.Must be warned, it gets pretty busy after 7am so highly recommended to be there before. 8am too crowded.

The fountain was absolutely fabulous but very crowded both day and night. Worth visiting. To get the perfect picture, people suggest going at 5 am. when it is quiet.

It’s beautiful and majestic. You can spend hours looking at it if not for the overcrowding. I went when it was raining and it was still overflowing with people :( but it’s a must visit in Europe and Italy for sure.

Standing before the fountain, you can't help but be awestruck by its sheer size and intricate design. The central figure of Oceanus, riding a chariot pulled by seahorses, is a breathtaking sight to behold. Every detail, from the cascading water to the sculpted figures and ornate reliefs, reflects the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. It's equally magical at night when it's illuminated by soft lights, adding to its romantic allure.Throwing a coin into the fountain is a tradition that dates back centuries. It's said that tossing a coin over your left shoulder with your right hand ensures your return to Rome.However, the popularity of the Fountain means it can get quite crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons. Navigating through the throngs of people to get a good view or snap a photo can be a bit challenging, but the experience is well worth it.

One of the most beautiful and breathtaking little building in Roma. Even if there is a lot of people at the surrounding area, you can always enjoy the view. You can also sit down , because there are some place to sit and people usually change by time to time. If you go at night or in the really early morning hours, you might catch yourself in a really calm atmosphere.

Definitely worth the visit. You can't just see it from far away. You have to experience it. The line is long but moves quickly and its just for the ticket turnstiles. Once through you can take your time and enjoy. Very crowded but a great way to see the surrounding sites as well if you don't want to spend the extra money. Don't miss it. It's a once in a life time.

It is an amazing construcción, with very high level of engineering even for this era. It is a place were you can find a moment of peace and reflection too, beside been a Roman landmark, because you can even seat and pray if you want. Staff is very kind and helpful and booking system control the amount of people inside to avoid overcrowded. My recommendation book in advance, respect dress code because is a church, be respectful with other visitors and give the chance to take pictures if you already take yours.We didn’t book guided tour, nevertheless we were very fortunate to meet a Roman senior who was so kind to give us detailed explanation of the construction details and historic highlights, without us asking him. We are very thankful with him.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the surrounding places,Especially the overlooks and views from the restaurants next to the building,Having a drink while looking at the ancient history of Rome,An exquisite building with an astonishing history with a rich architectural phenomenon.But don’t pay extra money to see it,I don’t recommend it.Have a fun trip;)

It was a very cool place to see. This is a very busy area, and we were warned multiple times to be on the lookout for pickpockets. We purchased tickets at the site, and there was an extremely long line. Try to purchase tickets online before your visit. The size of the crowns, lack of comfort, and the short nature of the visit would make this a 3-star experience. It was very cool to see when you were inside, but the overall experience was a bit tricky.

Astonishing beautiful! There is no word to describe this building. It is one of a kind landmark in architecture world. If you are an architect or have a neck for buildings and visit this place then u’ll know what I’m talking about! It’s just perfect!

A unique architecture. A huge monument. One of the most iconic sites in the eternal city! The light coming from the ceiling is magical. All spots in this place deserve to be visited. A special advice: stay in the middle of the pantheon and look at the sky and feel the magic of the clouds and the sky.A must see place!

Wonderful. It looks very old, lots of fractured beams, wooden roof also has wear and tears. But the idea is amazing. The ceiling has a big hole and sunlight comes through it and illuminates the interior. The entrance is free and there is in general a small line, thus going inside should not be a problem. Worth visit when in Rome.

Got here right before the closing time and couldn’t enter inside. The building itself was stunning. Outside sitting at the Piazza fella Rotonda and looking at this magnificent art also was nice. There are many businesses around for you to sit down and enjoy. The sky gradually darkened and the lights started to shine, the whole area was attractive.So bear in mind, don’t come late or even buy the ticket online first😀

Beautiful interiors. If you’re into art and architecture this is a must stop! But beware of the lines!you can buy the tickets online though. We stood in line for about 20 mins till we were allowed access. Also pointer tip get the audio guide its 2 euros and very informative! Its located inside the pantheon

Very beautiful Temple/church. It's definitely a place to visit. If you want to see it inside, I would book ahead. We only saw from the outside, not the inside, the lines of people were too long to wait to look inside.

Very amazing building. One of the best preserved Roman buildings in the world, and it is very impressive to look at whether you're inside or outside. Buy tickets in advance to ensure you get in straight away. Once you're in however, there isn't too much to do unless you are a religious person, as most of the inside has been converted into a church.

It is a very impressive and beautiful building. You won't be able to take your eyes off the dome. You will feel like you are in a movie scene. definitely a must go

Amazing place to visit, truly an architectural wonder. We visited on the first Sunday in December so admission was free. We went early so the crowds were not bad. We ended up staying for mass which was incredible. It was very moving. If you can only visit a couple of places in Rome this has to be on your list.

A landmark full of history that is a must in Rome. I would recommend having the audio guide because it provides great insights not only about the history of the Pantheon but also its architectural brilliance. Book tickets in advance and be prepared to wait in line even with the tickets. The waiting time can go above 1h but we "only" waited for 25 minutes.

Very impressive and with lots of history inside and outside.Not sure with the entrance requirements ( 1st July 2022).Sometimes you just show up and can go inside and other days you need a prior booking.To be sure best book in advance if you are planning, or size the opportunity if you're paying by and see no queue.

They now charge you €5 compared to free of charge earlier and it's a huge queue, so would recommend booking in advance. The architecture is amazing and the monument is worth visiting. It's one of the oldest and still intact structures

Incredible building. The space has to be experienced. Like other Roman structures in the city it has been preserved by virtue of becoming a church. There are snippets of the Roman construction in amongst the ecclesiastical opulence and not much information about the pagan heritage of the building is freely available. We did not get audio guides however.The website did not work and getting advance tickets at the admission price of 5.5 euros was impossible. We paid double but had to pick up tickets from the piazza Navona or wait in a long queue in the sun.

The Pantheon in Rome is an architectural marvel. Its colossal dome, an engineering feat even by modern standards, is a testament to ancient ingenuity. Stepping inside, you're met with a sense of awe, the oculus above casting an ethereal light. The tombs of illustrious figures add to its historical weight. The Pantheon's symmetry and proportions are a study in balance and elegance. It's a living museum of Roman artistry and a place of reverence. The piazza outside is bustling, providing a lively contrast to the serenity within. The Pantheon stands as a timeless tribute to Rome's cultural legacy.

What a Building! Pantheon is spectacular for many reasons. The fact that it is an intact structure that survived for the last 2000+ years alone makes it remarkable. Its architecture is stunning, the engineering involved in its construction is mind boggling, the play of light created by he oculus is amazing, and the fact that it is still the largest not steel reinforced dome in the world is just beyond belief! And its free to enter for all. Awesome!

A architectural beauty. If you're in Rome, you must check out the Pantheon. Inside is marvelous and homes the tombs to many. Notably, Raffaello Santi. This amazing place is thousands of years old and stands so strong. I would recommend seeing the Pantheon, from the inside, or the outside.

Usually had a fairly short queue and the machine for tickets is right by the entrance. It’s fairly cheap to get in, but it’s a small place so it makes sense. You can get around it in about 30/45 minuets with looking at everything. Nice dome inside so it’s worth having a quick pop inside, especially if you’re already in that part of Roma. Not much on show from when the Greeks were around.

The Pantheon is one of the best places to see in Rome. We went here in a Friday afternoon and there was still a line from the ticket office. Good thing we already secured our ticket in advance. Just an advice, book tickets in advance to avoid long waiting time as you would not spend more than an hour here. Book through the official website days or even weeks before your trip here as it takes time before you receive the email confirmation from them— this confirmation is required before you can log in and book tickets. You don’t really need to book a guide here as it’s just a small place. Good enough to check the sculptures, photos and marvel on the great Pantheon eye. You can pray on the middle part as there’s a lot of chairs where I think they held masses before.

I felt as if I was going to be underwhelmed by the Pantheon - but how wrong i was, what a fantastic building.clearly old from the outside, the inside is magnificent, the Dome was much bigger than i expected and quite beautifully constructed (get an audio guide to get all the info you need ever know about its construction & the other items inside)Wonderful to see a small oval part of the inside if the building illuminated as light flowed through the oculus.Final resting place of the artist Raphael (if you are into your art)Very busy, although not as stifling as other placesHighly recommend.

Make sure to get your tickets in advance off their website. Kids are free and adults are only 5 euro. Overall is very interesting building and history. The marble stone artwork on the walls was quite astonishing if you looked at it, the symettry and patterns were interesting. The variety of episcols around the circle were interesting as well as the main altar. I'd still vote for the Paris Pantheon as edging the Rome Pantheon for overall coolness and awe factor, but this building is still quite exquisite.

What a magic place in the middle of Rome. Just the outside is mesmerizing, like traveling back in time 2 thousand years. Such greatness and a big piece of history. The views early in the morning with the sunlight or at night are marvelous and perfect for some nice pictures. The inside does not fall behind and the dome ceiling is well worth paying a visit.

Fascinating look at many aspects of Rome in one spot. I originally was just playing to stop by a few minutes at Piazza on my way to the Vatican. However I was impressed with the many elements, sights and sounds there and ended spending over an hour just wondering around.The intriguing thing I found is watching all the people from tourists, to locals to buskers to people selling all mixed in this large open space.There was no less than 6 different musicians playing the afternoon I was there, each with a completely different instrument and music. Listening to them while wandering around, looking at the fountains was quite relaxing despite the large amount of people.Didn't have time to stop for food, and I don't know how the various restaurants are, but it would be a treat to have a drink while people watching.

The famous plaza in Rome. The fountains are especially beautiful but mind the sun in the noon it can be scorching hot out there.The restaurants are pretty pricey (of course you have to pay the view) and offer sub par food quality.But all in all worth a visit.

It has been described as one of the most beautiful plazas in the world, and deservedly so, in my opinion. Piazza Navona is lined with cafes, and restaurants is lively day and night as well as visually pleasing. A definite must when visiting Rome

Amazing scenery will greet you around all four corners of this Piazza... social environment for people who you'll see dancing, singing, performing different arts and just having a good time next to the ocean. A lot of people also take their dogs for walks here, which is nice. We also saw a lot of people jogging or exercising in groups on the waters edge. Always helps to have a nice view while training. You will also see alot of sailboats and smaller boats on this side of the harbor. Water taxi's are also something to experience. Helping people get across the harbors waters with no effort. Awesome place and a must visit, especially if you have a guide to give you the detail and historical facts about this place. Very cool to see and experience

A vast area with lots of sculptures and fun activities happening all around.Is a leisure place to hang out at free time.It is assured that no one can get bored as there are several artists performing or creating something or the other all around this piazza.The best thing is all these marvellous Locations are well and closely knit within walking distance.

Nice place to visit. It’s an open place so no need for tickets. Best to visit in daylight.You will find a lot of restaurants nearby and many shops to buy souvenirs.Come with a companion who can click your photographs for the memory.

As with all of Rome, the architecture of buildings, fountains, and monuments were amazing! Lots of restaurants and bars in the area. BEWARE: Taxis will attempt to price gouge. We were quoted $28 Euros for a ride back to the apartment, but was able to book a taxi through Uber for only $13.50.

Another worthy visit in Rome. To be fair, the fountains, monuments and cafes are not quite as famous as some other parts of Rome but the sum of each together is worth a visit. Have a drink at one of the bars and enjoy the world going buy. It's a popular tourist spot so will get very busy.

This is a beautiful square, with fountains, and church and several restaurants. If you visit Rome be sure to take a stroll through this piazza.

An absolutely beautiful plaza. Well kept and has some great history if you choose to look into it. However, I'm marking it down a star due to the constant harassment of street sellers and even the restaurants surrounding the plaza trying to get you to buy stuff when honestly, we just want to view the architecture and at our own pace, not interrupted every 30 seconds by people nagging us to buy stuff.

Piazza Navona is pure magic. The moment I stepped onto the cobblestones, I was captivated by the stunning fountain and the lively atmosphere. Sitting at a cafe, sipping espresso, and watching artists at work felt like stepping back in time. The square's charm is irresistible, making it one of my favorite spots in Rome.

My favorite square in the world. 100% quality sculptured fountains, surrounded by great Italian architecture. And the cafes on the Plaza, and in the adjacent blocks, are welcoming and fun. Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and the Borghese Gallery make Rome sing. And for the weekend visit Tuscany.

We didn't expect it to be so huge inside. It's really nice with a lot of restaurants and fountains. Had some good coffee and deserts too. It wasn't overly crowded like some places.

Wonderful Piazza. Architecture incredible. Three Bernini magnificent fountains. Beautiful baroque church. Comfortable and reasonable bars/restaurants. Christmas markets when we were there early December 2023I love it here

Cool area with many shops and galeteria’s nearby. Looks cute in the mornings as not many people are here. It’s free to visit so quite nice for photos. Also nice in the evening to relax and have some food. Worth a visit if nearby in Roma.

Piazza Navona is an absolute gem in the heart of Rome, Italy. As a tourist wandering through its expansive space, I was immediately struck by the lively atmosphere and the stunning Baroque art and architecture. The Fountain of the Four Rivers, with its impressive sculptures, is a masterpiece by Bernini that dominates the piazza. Each statue represents a river from a different continent, a testament to the global reach of the Roman Empire. Street artists, musicians, and quaint cafes add to the vibrant ambiance, making it a perfect spot to enjoy an espresso while soaking in the local culture. The surrounding buildings, with their intricate facades, offer a glimpse into Rome's rich history. Visiting Piazza Navona was a highlight of my Rome trip, offering both a feast for the eyes and a delightful cultural experience.

One of the most beautiful squares of Rome. A “must visit” while on a short trip. The ancient statues and the architecture will tell you stories thousands years old ! Open your eyes and enjoy !

Great place to meet people and visit the Christmas market or other holiday themed market. The Italians really know how to do a Piazza. The point is to attract people. America has empty squares. It is because there has to be a reason to go there. With all the shops, a fountain, the restaurants and even an Egyptian obelisk! The church there is also very beautiful. This place does get busy. Early morning is best for vacant shots, but it also looks good bustling with people as most successful gathering places do. You may find yourself searching for the one store and wind up passing through here a few times on you trip. Like any tourist destination, the restaurants here operate on the location, location, location principle to formulate their prices. There may be better food elsewhere, but not with as good a people watching fun as Piazza Navona. This is a definite visit.

Beautiful piazza with amazing fountains. Lots of tourists, pretty crowded but that’s to be expected. Didn’t stay at any of the terraces there as we try to avoid super touristy places.

This was probably my favorite area of Rome. It was a large area with nice vendors and shoppes. At night it was lit up and beautiful looking.The fountain is the best in the city. It is magical and makes you smile with wide eyes.There are many restaurants in the square and in the surrounding streets there are numerous more places to shop and eat.Very nice area of Rome. This is one of those places that lets you escape the so-called hot spots that are just rumored to be better.A must visit.

While in Rome be sure to visit St. Peter’s Basilica, Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums even if you aren’t Catholic. The crowds are tremendous and it’s very, very hot especially in the summer months. Even though it’s super hot, be sure to keep yourself covered. It is disrespectful to have your shoulders bare and to wear short skirts, dresses and super short shorts. If you aren’t dressed properly, you will be given paper like clothing to cover up or be denied entry. It would be helpful to do a bit of research online before visiting to understand the extraordinary history and pieces of art you will be seeing. Expect to spend at least 3-5 hours exploring. You can easily spend an entire day and wonder where the time went. The shops are plentiful and apparently everything in them is blessed by the Pope. The line and wait to get into the Sistine Chapel is very long but worth waiting to see. It is amazing and, for most people, a once in a lifetime experience. Be sure to look up and enjoy one of the most famous and celebrated interior paintings in world by Michelangelo 1508-1512. It is absolutely breathtaking.

St. peters is the most incredible cathedral I’ve ever witnessed. It is from top to bottom pure perfection! It has gorgeous marble floors with circular dome ceilings letting just the right amount of sunlight in. The walls are perfectly etched and designed to perfection. One thing I thought was nice was that the church actually offers confessions by priests for whoever wishes to go in. It also offers an altar to pray at with benches and pews to kneel.

St. Peter Basilica is gorgeous monument right on the St. Peter square. The whole square along with the monuments is truly one of the nicest we have seen. The entrance to the square and Basilica is for free, but if you want to go inside the Basilica, prepare for long-queues (when we came here the waiting time to enter was 3 hours), so you may opt to just take pictures from the outside. Since Basilica is located in Vatican city, respect the dress code.

St. Peter’s Basilica is nothing short of breathtaking. Its grandeur, intricate details, and spiritual significance make it an architectural wonder. The sheer size and beauty of the interior, adorned with stunning artworks and intricate designs, are awe-inspiring. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of Rome that’s truly unforgettable. Despite occasional crowds, the serenity and reverence within this sacred space remain palpable. A visit here is an essential part of experiencing the history, art, and spirituality that Rome has to offer.

Wow! Utterly mind-blowing basilica.Whether you are religious or not this is somewhere you must visit when in Rome.Once inside it is opulent, but in a kind of understated way. Beautifully constructed, the ceilings and domes are spectacular - the whole building is open and expansive with wonderful lighting.Constantly in use as a place of prayer and fir private reflection, which is a real tonic compared to the Sistine Chapel which is noisy and overcrowded and not in the slightest bit relaxing

The Basilica is absolutely amazing it looks great and it’s worth spending some money to access the top of the basilica as you get an amazing view of Rome and the Vatican from here. The scale of the building makes it amazing. Very busy in the mornings due to mass so it is easier to get into during the evenings as the lines are very very very long and tedious at morning time. Must go place if you are visiting Rome. Architecture of the building is so beautiful. The paintings/ frescos are really pretty.

A must see. Architectural and artistic marvel. The scale is immense. The artworks and decor are awe inspiring. Several hours are needed for a thorough experience. A digital or online guide is recommended if you are interested in art or history. The Basilica is open every day free of charge which is especially nice and helpful to plan around other activities which require reservations. Highly recommended.

An amazing thing to behold. If you are visiting Rome, coming into St. Peter's Basilica is an absolute must! It is an incredible building with so many incredible things to see inside. This building is so much bigger and grander than any picture could accurately portray. So spectacular! There is so much history that is in here. It's kind of overwhelming. I would also recommend having a tour guide to go along with so they can accurately explain the history of each of the statues and artifacts.

The Basilica is a building you can easily spend half a day. You absolutely MUST arrive early because you will be stuck waiting a hour or more in line by mid day just to get through security. From security, you can walk into the Basilica pretty quickly. On the far right around the corner as you enter there is a hidden souvenir shop with the cheapest prices. You will also find this gift shop if you exit from the papal tombs. Anyway, as you enter the Basilica on the left is the entrance to climb to the top of the cupola. Get up there right away when you arrive to see one of the best views in Rome. It costs €8 to climb on foot, or €10 to use an elevator to get halfway up. Overall, this is the single most impressive building I have ever visited. It's absolutely gorgeous and a marvel to stand within.

Incredibly large basilica church in the Vatican City, this place is a must visit in Rome. Highly recommend paying extra to climb up the steps to the top of the dome, as well as the Treasury museum with Christian relics. Also check out the underground Papal tombs where the Popes are buried, which is free to enter. Don't let the long lines put you off, it moves moderately fast.

Absolutely breathtaking! The size of this building is astonishing! We went very early in the morning to avoid the 3+ hour line and it was worth getting up at 7am! We stumbled onto a couple of different services going on at the same time. We attended mass at the main alter and even being non-religious, it was something to behold.

This is probably the most ornate, glamorous, and awe-striking church in the world. The grandeur and absolute luxury of the building is striking. It made me feel very small to stand beside the statues that are so much larger than life. It is staggering to think the amount of effort that went into constructing this church. the courtyard was also very beautiful and enjoyable to experience. This is definitely a place to see when you’re in Rome.

St. Peter’s Basilica is a must when visiting Italy. You need to go early as much as possible like 6am since the line is getting longer. And don’t miss to went up to the Dome. It’s mesmerizing and how every details are visible.

Great place to visit. Pope Francis came exactly at 12pm and blessed the congregation. Visited Sistine chapel and museum on last Sunday of the month, which is free. Pay extra for climbing Dome of the basilica which has amazing views of the Vatican.

St. Peter's Basilica, or Basilica di San Pietro, is truly a masterpiece not to be missed when visiting Rome. This iconic church isn't just the world's largest basilica, but it also sits atop the site where St. Peter, the apostle and first pope, is believed to be buried. From its grandiose facade to the stunning dome designed by Michelangelo, every corner of this massive church is dripping with history and artistry. It's like stepping into a living museum, where every artwork tells a story.If you're planning a visit, note that St. Peter's Basilica is open daily from 7 AM to 7 PM in the summer (April to September), and from 7 AM to 6 PM during the winter months (October to March). The best part? Entry is completely free! You can explore this religious and architectural wonder without spending a penny, which is fantastic for such a significant site.However, a heads-up to all the eager visitors out there: if you’re not an early bird, you might end up waiting a long time to get in. To avoid a queue that can stretch up to 3 hours, try to start your visit before 7 AM. That way, you can enjoy the tranquility of the basilica and its breathtaking beauty without the crowds. Trust me, the early wake-up call is absolutely worth it to have more of the place to yourself!Lastly, while you're there, don't miss climbing up to the dome. It's a bit of a workout, but the panoramic view of Rome from the top is unparalleled. Just remember to bring your camera because you’ll want to capture every moment in this awe-inspiring place. With its rich history, incredible art, and spiritual significance, St. Peter's Basilica is a bucket-list destination that truly lives up to its fame.

Beautiful, stunning, and definitely a must visit when in Vatican City! I was shocked at just how beautiful every inch of the basilica was. You know how when you visit several cathedrals, churches, basilicas, so on, they all somewhat seem the same (sorry, but it’s true)? Well, St Peter’s Basilica is about 10 of those in one location showing you how grand they can be. Breathtaking.

St Peters Basilica is the Renaissance style church located in Vatican City. It is one of the top attractions in your Rome or Vatican City trip. Every Sunday POPE comes to the balcony to wave the peoples gather in the square. The inside is really beautiful, we were amazed. You can spend hours and still you will not feel satisfied. We went on Sunday and it was quite crowded. Tourists are allowed to go to the dome which has 520+ steps. 200+ steps can be climbed by lift and rest has to go by walk. If you use lift it cost 10 euro or else 8 euro. It is worth to go to the top at any cost because you get your dream views. We used that opportunity on a Sunday afternoon to experience this panoramic. We used the lift option which looks more reasonable. Return way from dome takes you to inside of the church.

You do NOT need to dress up for this (see below). Do NOT buy anything from the vendors - they will flat out lie to you! Say NO.These marvels will leave you breathless. It is absolutely incredible what they built and HOW they built it so long ago. As an active church even today it is absolutely mind blowing.You do NOT have to wear pants, closed-toed shoes or anything out of the norm! The only real requirement is you have to have your shoulders covered and they will provide you cloth to do so. Don't buy anything from the shady aggressive street vendors!!!Shorts ARE fine as are sandals of ALL kinds. Women with skirts or shorts too short will be provided coverups. There is an H&M literally right next store worst case but our airline lost our luggage and we were allowed in (I asked three people working out front) with shorts, slides and tee shirts.Pro tip! After the Vatican tour exit out the back (ask the attendants) and you can go straight to the St Peters. If you don't, you will have to exit walk all the way around and wait in line again!

Beautiful church!!!! ⛪️ Arrive hours in advance and in the morning, it’s VERY HOT there!! Beat the heat and the crowds.Here are some amazing photos we captured. We also the preserved bodies of some of the popes / saints. Really amazing place, so much history to learn, I recommend taking a tour and you will learn way more than just going to visit.

You will wait for hours, unless you get there around 830am. Our wait to get through security was less than -10 minutes arriving at that time.Climbing the dome steps is not for the faint of heart. As you can see by this video, things get pretty tight for the last 100 out of 500 steps up. There is a nice cafe at the half-way point through on the roof.If you are in reasonably good shape though, we enjoyed the walk as the views seemLike a ‘reward’ for the effort.

Wow. What an experience. The entry is free, and the best time to get in line is 9-11 a.m. wait is worthwhile, and lines move fast. Can bring water and backpacks. Cathedral is a work of art and breathtaking. Artwork at every step. Great gift shop. We spent an easily 4 hours with still more to see. This is a must see-do experience

It is a church very very worth visiting. Once you go inside, you will feel that all the waiting is worth it! It is recommended that if there are several people traveling together, don’t rush to take pictures, it is best to arrange for your companions to line up first.And don’t give up visiting because of the queue that is 500 to 600 meters long waiting for security check.

What an impressive place to visit. I spend 3-4 hours their and it was worth it. Even if the line i really, really, REALLY long like around the whole place outside, the it moves really fast. Remember there can be 60000 people inside.Since it is free, i would recommend to buy ticket for the elevator to get to the top of the church. Is a trip worth itself.

Visited St Peters years ago when it was full of chairs and benches. This time I expected the same but the seats were all put away and the space was breathtaking. This is the largest church in the world and can accommodate 60,000. In this visit it felt like a building of the scale of a large stadium. It is a must on any visit to Rome. Book a tour in advance and you can skip the queue.

La impresión que me da siempre que ingreso en esta Basílica es de sentirme pequeño ante tan descomunal edificio. La arquitectura es impresionante, las esculturas descomunales por su tamaño y hermosura. Debido a todo lo que engloba, cuando la ve parece más en un museo que en una iglesia, aunque se siente que es la sede de la Iglesia Católica. Siempre vale la pena visitarla cuando se va a Roma, es un punto obligado. Por suerte casi no tuvimos que hacer fila para ingresar, algo fantástico para este lugar.(Translated by Google)The impression I get every time I enter this Basilica is of feeling small in front of such a huge building. The architecture is impressive, the sculptures enormous for their size and beauty. Due to everything it encompasses, when you see it it seems more like a museum than a church, although it feels like it is the headquarters of the Catholic Church. It is always worth visiting when you go to Rome, it is a must. Luckily we hardly had to wait in line to get in, which is fantastic for this place.

Amazing!!!! Wow!! It doesn't matter what religion you are, you will be in awe at the sculptures, paintings, and sheer size of this church. They are doing some construction on the main sacristy but still is beautiful.Changing of the Swiss guard is nice to see at the top of the hour, as well.Make sure to book this with your Vatican tour (in advance) or you will wait in line for hours to get in!!Oh and bring your families' addresses with and mail some postcards from the Vatican as you leave!

Stunningly beautiful, if you have the stamina walk up to the Dome you will see fantastic views of the Vatican City. Definitely recommend, definitely memorable. Would recommend.

Well worth seeing for the opulence and wealth that is the Catholic Church. I guess this is their flagship location, so it is maybe a good reflection of the wealth involved. It is beautiful though and amazing craftsmanship and designs. The popes tombs were very interesting too, never seen this before. Amazing history too, to think there have been that many popes!! If you are in rome, it is worth seeing!!!

Es la casa madre del la iglesia católica. Su arquitectura es tan impresionante como su historia. Una belleza que deslumbra porque más que una basílica es un museo viviente del arte, escultura e historia de un país y una religión.Sin duda es un lugar es un lugar que toda persona merece conocer. Es parte de nuestra historia y cultura. Localizada en una ciudad y país que es hermoso.(Translated by Google)It is the mother house of the Catholic Church. Its architecture is as impressive as its history. A beauty that dazzles because more than a basilica, it is a living museum of art, sculpture and history of a country and a religion.Without a doubt, it is a place that every person deserves to know. It is part of our history and culture. Located in a city and country that is beautiful.

The most incredible building I've ever been inside. So expansive and glorious. The gold finishes, sculptures, mosaics and marble line floor to ceiling. There is an obscene amount of tourists but it is still incredibly beautiful. I would love to see it when there are no tourists to experience a service or meditation in the space.

Watch out for the ticket touts on the way. They will tell you that have to wait 2 hrs in a queue to get in but the reality is that even a very long queue was only 25 mins. They wanted around €100 each (did include Sistine chapel and museum), it’s free to get in to the basilica. Once in there is the usual queue for the crypt and for the steps to the top of the basilica dome. Queue for tickets for the dome was slow (€8 for steps or €10 for lift to balcony level and steps to the very top). The steps are steep and spiral staircase most of the way to the very top. Well worth it. Rest of the places is amazing as you would expect!

It's definitely worth going up the cupola as it's still the highest building in Rome and the view is breathtaking... I'd highly recommend booking a guided tour as like that you get some more info. But if you decide to go on your own (the entrance is free!), go early in the morning as the line can get crazy later during the day. At least 2 hrs waiting for the security check in full sun at noon is no fun.

It was good but not great. We opted for a tour guide which was worth the money but there were too many people at the 1pm tour slot. There is a lot of steps and walking so if you have bad knees be warned. We speak English so as I mentioned the tour guide was needed as it is called a museum there is not many labels or signs in the building. If you don’t know what you are looking at then good luck

My visit to The Vatican Museum was truly a beautiful experience. The grandeur and history of the place left me in awe. However, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment when I witnessed some tourists disregarding the rules and not showing the proper respect for the sanctity of the space. It is crucial to remember and emphasize the importance of maintaining silence and refraining from taking photos when entering the holy part of this museum. These guidelines are in place to preserve the sacredness of the site and should be followed diligently by all visitors. I hope that more tourists will understand and respect these rules in the future, in order to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of such historic places.

Way to crowded in august. We bought the lunch ticket which is a 19.5€ „full italian lunch“ and it was a complete joke. You get your meal in one way beverage in a big crowded food court without any windows. If you want to go there get your tickets online and be there early or pretty late.

We booked a guided tour in advance. So glad we did! We walked through some of the museums, the Sistine Chapel and ended at St Peter's Basilica. It was super busy, and there was so much to look at, you just get a glimpse really. But, it was absolutely amazing to see all of the art.

This museum is so beautiful and huge that you need a lot of time in order to walk its hallways. It takes about 8 kilometers to walk the whole museum, no joke. Also, in order to avoid long lines to get in the museum it is better to get your tickets online.

We did the official guided tour for individuals, it took about two hours. Our guide Maria was awesome! The tour had focus and balanced pace. Access to the museums was very well organized despite the overwhelming crowds. Highly recommended experience.

An amazing visit. There is so much to see here. The guided tour does take a while but that is because there is so much to take in. Thee are so many things to see and room after room of priceless works. Well worth the price of admission. I full recommend that you buy tickets through a guide in advance as the line to get in is usually over three hours in wait.

This was a good museum. We did not have the time to explore as much as we wanted too but it had a lot of amazing sculptures and artwork! The best parts to me were the HUGE tapestries along the walls and the gold lit ceilings. Sometimes, there are open windows with amazing views of botanical gardens and mountains.

Extremely awesome. It is just the heat that was the culprit otherwise totally worth it. Only if they can create more washroom there won't be long lines for the wait, especially for the ladies. The various galleries were awesome showing the epitome of excellence in art and finally when you arrive at the Sistine Chapel, that's a sight to behold and absorb it as much as you can with your eyes, because you know that you're gonna cherish this memory for always.

Must definitely buy tickets in advance esp in summer. It is awful to stand in the sun for a few hours. There is honestly so much to do in the vac museum. We spent 5 to 6hrs! The food was extremely normal but its fine since we were both extremely hungry.

How does one rate the museum that houses some of the greatest treasures of western civilization? Plan to arrive early and spend all day here. The guided tours are nice, but you will be moved through at a much faster pace than allows you to truly soak everything in.

Great visit, not to miss. Bring a snack and water, the visit is long! Hugh line to buy the ticket, if you can buy and plan in advance, do it. I also recommend the audio guide, it costs 8€. The on line ticket entrance was short.

If you come to the Vatican without visiting the museum ... You are missing out.Strongly recommend buying tickets ahead of time, and have a knowledgeable tour guide to walk you through the museum. Especially if you have limited time, limited art background/ knowledge, and still desire in depth explanations and engaging visits.It was the best museum visit experience !! ☺️

Beautiful experience here with friends. Was left speechless! Be sure to be mindful of keeping your arms and shoulders covered in certain areas as some were also considered religious locations. If you’re going in the warmer months also note that there’s not a ton of air conditioning so dress in breathable fabrics!

If you don't have a reservation, they will just make you wait A LOT (I think we waited almost two hours) as other people pass by, that was really frustrating. I'm not sure why that happened because there were no queues at the ticket offices. So make sure you book online.Other than that, the museum is huge and so informative! You could easily spend hours here

You have to buy the tickets with a lot of time because if not you have to buy them for more money. Amazing place with a lot of art you can spend a whole morning here looking at all it contains. I recommend to take it easy and make a lot of pics.

Always book in advance especially in the seasons peak. Take your time, there is a lot to cover, on site guides help a lot but after the tour you can then go through entire museum by yourself. Also, at the the of the tour you can easily enter the Basilica and skip the long line outside.

This museum is beautiful and showcases so many masterpieces, but the crowds of tour groups in the main exhibits are unbearable. The majority of the experience is being herded down hallways with no stopping. It just ruined the experience and I wanted out. Had skip the line tickets which basically just meant a shorter line. Maybe early in the morning would be a different experience, but we had gone to St Peter’s basilica first to wait in line there.

Magnificent and so much history and beauty to take in. The skip-line-tickets are worth it! Go early before it gets too crowded. Audio guides for €8 are a wealth of information and makes sense of what you’re seeing and you can wander at your own pace.

The most beautiful museums in the world, you can find here. An amazing collection of different regions in the world. The art is unbelievable and stunning. Most definitely buy tickets in advance, you do not want to be stuck in line here for hours. Our skip the line tickets got us in very quickly. There's only a wait at the security check.

Antiques Art... A great and lovely story behind.. can't even describe how blessings and emotional I feel.. the most special birthday gift. Huge thanks to my beloved wife.

Great experience. Be ready to do a lot of walking. Make sure to bring water with you. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars (4.5 if I could really )is because the tour guide was a little different to hear even with the whisper set. But she did know her stuff.

I strongly recommend buying skip the line tickets. Wear comfortable shoes, take water with you, and be ready for 10,000 steps of walking at least. It's really beautiful and worth the visit. Avoid eating in restaurants in the area. There are way better food in other areas of the city.

Beautiful collection of art. I would suggest getting one of the tours so you can skip the line and get a guy to explain all the literal intricacy of the pieces inside. You can spend hours walking around and looking at the historic pieces I would at least need 4 hours to see all the highlights.

One of the most beautiful places to visit, in the world. The history and artifacts were absolutely amazing. Seeing the artwork of Leonardo de Vinci was next to unbelievable. So beautifully preserved as if they were painted yesterday. Giving a four star review certainly had nothing to do with what we saw, but for how we were able to experience this once in a lifetime moment. From the time we arrived we were herded in like cattle and you will see from my pictures just what I mean. Plus, I just have a hard time with churches making money, hand over fist, within the church. I realize we were in the 'museum' section of The Vatican, but it felt wrong. We already paid a good amount to go through the museum with thousands of other people, but than there were stores and cafe's within the museum as well. Also, once your in there you are NOT allowed to go back or leave if you need to. It took 3 hours of walking with no exits available and with thousands of other people. We were not in a tour group because we wanted to experience it without being herded through as a group would have done, but we were still herded through. All that being said, I would still highly recommend this adventure, how can you go to Rome and not visit The Vatican? ☺️ Just be prepared for the crowds with no exits.

The Vatican Museums are vast in scale, and each piece of art reaches the pinnacle of artistic expression. Not a single spot on the ceilings, walls, or floors is left untouched; they are filled with masterpieces that inspire awe. Regardless of religion, everyone must visit this place to witness the significant milestones in the history of human art all at once.

Exploring the Vatican Museum feels like stepping into a whole other world, brimming with history and art. Its vastness makes it challenging to fully absorb everything it has to offer. I spent a remarkable three hours immersed in its treasures but had to reluctantly leave due to other commitments.To maximize your experience, I suggest purchasing a skip-the-line ticket for the Vatican Museum. This saves time and allows you to fully enjoy the tour. Allocate at least half a day to explore leisurely, without feeling rushed.

Fabulous day. 3500 people due to go in at 8am skip the line. We were all sorted and checked in by 9am. So good. Very ordered tour crowds were alot but ordered and polite.

Truly awesome, worth getting skip the queue tickets, only took 5 minutes to get in. Marco our tour guide was superb lots of interesting facts but also great humour.we went Easter Saturday at 9am, spent 3 to 4 hours. We had food afterwards, reasonable price for where we were.

А very famous place. The collection is incredibly valuable. The complaint is in the organization. There are no road signs in which order to go. Visitors who do not have a guide have the problem of which order and where to go. The Sistine Chapel is amazing. Buy tickets in advance and you won't have to wait long.

Its a worthwhile visit. Audio guide would be better. Book the tickets in advance and avoid long queues. Very artistic and amazing architecture. Do not miss if you are visiting Rome. A good 3 to 4 hours is required.

A visit to the Vatican Museums is an awe-inspiring journey through the corridors of history, art, and culture. As one of the most prestigious collections in the world, the Vatican Museums offer an unparalleled experience that transcends a simple museum visit into a profound exploration of human creativity across centuries.From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the sheer scale and diversity of the artifacts and artworks. The museum's layout guides you through a sequence of rooms, each more impressive than the last. The iconic Raphael Rooms and the stunning Borgia Apartment were personal highlights, showcasing masterpieces of Renaissance art in every corner.However, the true jewel of the Vatican Museums is the Sistine Chapel. Witnessing Michelangelo’s ceiling and The Last Judgment in person was nothing short of breathtaking. The intricate details and vibrant colors speak volumes of Michelangelo's genius, leaving a lasting impression that I will carry with me forever.The museums are impeccably maintained, with clear signage and helpful staff, ensuring a smooth and enriching visit. The audio guides were particularly useful, providing context to the vast collections and helping to uncover hidden gems along the way.For anyone visiting Rome, the Vatican Museums are a must-see. Whether you're an art aficionado or a casual tourist, the experience is deeply rewarding and enriching. Be sure to allocate plenty of time to fully appreciate everything the museums have to offer—you won’t regret it!

What a beautiful spot! The castle looms over the town. I couldn’t wait to go inside. The museum is only 10 euro and I couldn’t join the we code tour because my phone had minimal signal in town.Either way, walking through was amazing. You’re lead through the grounds and to the top of the view before going inside. It was spectacular!There were enough signs to keep learning about the history. I recommend it highly. A great day trip from Rome.

Monumental castle in very good condition. Interior elements and exhibits seem to be genuine. Nice views. Reasonable ticket price 10 EUR. Very much worth a visit.

Beautiful place to visit near Rome. Is one hour from Rome and I nice.

Fantastic place to visit if you are interested in renaissance period history. Fabulous views over town and lake. You pay 10 € for the entrance, if you are a student you pay 8€ , it worths a visit the castle is big from inside and there is a lot to see , and you enjoy the view from there over all the village and the lake.

Completely worth the experience. Well maintained, beautiful and immersive. A wonderful example of history. The views are incredible. You can tell its been curated and preserved with love. Lots of good restaurants nearby.

This castle is in great shape. The views of the whole town and Lake Bracciano from the top are breathtaking. The collection of armory is very impressive.The view of the Secret Garden from the spiral staircase is amazing.

Best castle I've ever visited. Access is easy and open, exhibits are original and authentic.

The castle itself is very beautiful but the owners have a lot of work to do. The objects in showcases are displayed randomly and without any description or dating. So if the visitor doesn't go with a guide he won't find out anything because there are no information panels... You just walk around and look at things and architecture but you don't get any information about when was it built, who lived there and what was the life on the castle like. While buying ticket no one alert me about any guide, audioguide, brochure or anything. For the price of 10 € I would expect more effort.

Beautiful castle and grounds. Plan to spend the day exploring the village. Easy & inexpensive train ride from Roma.

The hardest part of the visit was navigating the city streets and finding parking.It was raining lightly so we had to be cautious walking up the cobblestone ramps and stairs. But other than that, the rain is not too much of a deterrent because you can spend a lot of time inside the various museum rooms and even stand under arches and such while taking photos in the various courtyards.This visit was a last minute addition to our plans so we only had a little over an hour to go through it. I think we could have easily spent 2 or more hours there.A word of warning, check the website the week you are planning to go there. If there is an early closure to the public that week, they communicate that as a pop-up message on the homepage. You don't want to go through the trouble of finding a parking space, only to find out the museum is closing in less than an hour.Also, as far as I could tell (there were some places blocked off to us as they were setting up for some sort of event) The only rest rooms were 2 port a potties right after you get inside the castle proper. If you think you may need to go within the next hour or so, use it now. You don't want to be on the other side of the castle and have to retrace your steps a couple extra times. Especially if you have a limited amount of time.

What a majestic castle! One of the most beautiful, well preserved castles I've been to. Many rooms (20+) at time of visit including a vast armoury.The experience was remarkable at every part of the castle, breathtaking.

Great old castle, I only gave it four stars because it was closed and we didn't get to see the inside.

The castle offers breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding countryside. The castle was the venue of a family wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing location. It was incredibly memorable.

The Orsini-Odescalchi Castle is a magnificent testament to history and architectural splendor. Nestled on the shores of Lake Bracciano in Italy, this castle is incredibly well-preserved and maintained, making it a true delight for visitors. The castle's imposing structure, with its majestic towers and fortified walls, exudes a sense of grandeur and enchantment. Inside, the beautifully decorated rooms, elegant courtyards, and stunning frescoes transport you to a bygone era of nobility and romance. With its idyllic location and exceptional preservation, the Orsini-Odescalchi Castle stands as one of the most breathtaking castles in Italy, leaving visitors in awe of its beauty and historical significance.

Beautiful castel at the beach, actually much nicer from outside than from inside . Origins are from the eteuscans 700 bc, later occupied by Greek settlers in 400 bc , many roman relicts from the era when if was port to Rome, and used ever since until today. Remains of an early Christian Church have been unearthed, the remaining big tower is from the 9th century, outside walls on the north side from roman time about 2000 years ago. There is a bistro and tourists. The place can be reached easily from Rome by train. Th beach is beautiful and the whole setup worth a trip from Rome

Wonderful location! You can spend sometime in the castle and also have a nice sea coast walk. A big part of the castle is free to visit. A ticket for the museums is 8 euro for adults. The museums are recommended to visit. There is an interesting private museum of alchemy in the territory of the castle (entrance and excursion is for donation). There are also hand-made masters with beautiful creations. Bar and food zone is near the castle. Also a little restaurant is nearby on the beach

Stunning views only about 40min drive outside of Rome. Definitely suggest going there if you’re in Rome in off-season, the beach is quiet and calm, with barely any people there.

A great castle right on the shore. We were surprised that this castle was more than a single building. It had an outer wall, buildings inside the wall, and then finally the large castle. We didn't stay here but I read it offers rooms to stay in for a very reasonable rate.

prima, wij hadden er wel iets meer van verwacht na het zien van de foto's. er was ook een festival gaande waar we hebben gelunched 2 mini biertjes (20cl) en 2 kleine broodjes warme ham €22,- is heel erg duur! we dachten dat we daarvoor wel een grote portie kregen maar die bleken nog duurder.het kasteel zelf is net iets te modern opgeknapt naar onze smaak.(Translated by Google)fine, we expected a little more after seeing the photos. there was also a festival going on where we had lunch 2 mini beers (20cl) and 2 small hot ham sandwiches €22,- is very expensive! We thought we would get a large portion for that, but it turned out to be even more expensive.the castle itself has been renovated a bit too modern for our taste.

Low light pollution, great for star gazing.Ps you can see the galactic core/tail with your naked eye.

Very nice and well preserved castel.We visited it at the end of September. We were almost alone in the castle and the museum. Part of the information is in English.It is a nice stop on the way.There is a restaurant at the entrance and plenty of parking.

For a day visit trip from Rome... Enjoy museum/Castle and why not take walk and sit Dow at the beach. Nice Ristorante just 200 m from the castle.

The castle is nice, but inside you will see more dresser rather than castle room.its more museum than castle. The view tower is open on the weekend and there is no information about it. Little bit expensive 8€ for what you see. Staff friendly

Stayed only one night but wished we could have stayed longer! Our room had a view of the sea and we could hear the waves breaking, it was wonderful!

Beautiful location very close to the sea and to Santa Marinella Beach, but there is really not much to see here. Unless you are in the area, I would not make the trip. Also, the Holiday market is very tailored to young children which is not clearly advertised on their website.

Useful tipsMarmore is located near the city of Terni (which is ~1 hour by train from Rome). The park has two entrances. To the lower one it is more convenient to get from Terni by bus (on the Trenitalia website choose the stop Cascata delle Marmore), and to the upper one – by train (get off at Marmore stop). If you are that rare traveler from the Sulmona or L'Aquila, go straight to Marmore.A train ticket gives a discount on a ticket to the park - 8€ instead of 10.The park and waterfall schedule changes every month! Do not believe the reviews that say to arrive at 11, or at 15, or at 20 - check the schedule yourself on the official website!The Lovers Balcony (the balcony behind the waterfall) is accessible only with a guided tour. There are only 30 places, so be sure to buy tickets in advance on the official website. The cost is 3€. You will meet near the lower viewpoint, and first the guide will tell you about the waterfall itself. If you do not speak Italian, you can either try your luck and ask to speak English (it helped us!), or go to Wiki (all the info is there). Then you'll go to the balcony itself. You get wet in a second!! You can buy a raincoat in the park for 1€, but I recommend bringing your own reusable one so you don't have to worry about the think flimsy plastic one. If you also have shoe covers, it's perfect :)) The tour lasts an hour and ends somewhere halfway between the upper and lower viewpoints. Being inside the waterfall is a very unusual experience, I liked it :)From the lower viewpoint you can see the entire waterfall, from the upper one you can see only one cascade, but closer. So both are spectacular, but in different ways. The path from the upper viewpoint to the lower one takes, by park estimates, 20 minutes, back it's 35.The guide said that from route 4 (sentiero 4) there is a very good view, but we did not have time to check.He also recommended sentiero 2.There is rafting in the park!

Wao.... amazing 😍 place must visit it you near to Rome.

Magnificent artificial waterfall, well maintained park.The trails allow you to admire the three jumps of the waterfall from various points.

Waterfalls really impressive. We arrived just 20 minutes before “switching off” water, so paid half price ticket. Water closing actually takes at least 30 minutes. The only thing we didn’t like: very inefficient organization of ticket sales: tickets office is at far end of parking, good way from entrance. People who didn’t notice messy signs pointing tickets office and go directly to entrance, need to turn back and walk all the way back again to get tickets.

Beautiful place 😍It’s difficult to believe that these waterfalls are man-made. The tallest one is 83 meters.The only problem is the timing when the waterfalls start working.There is always small amount of water. And then by the schedule, they turn on high flow for few hours.Since now the season is over, working time is limited. However, the schedule published on the website is not updated.

Very beautiful view. The trails are suitable for everyone. Raincoat is sold inside and costs 1 euro. The 6th track is more suitable for professionals. 😍🍀

Sure, the waterfall’s history is interesting, but paying 12 euro and 2 euro per hour for what is currently a power plant where you can’t even bath.. not so convinced..

Gorgeous! Keep in mind the water is released twice a day only! See the schedule. A very nicely maintained park area! Suitable for kids of all ages (the Lower part / Inferiore). Would take around an hour+ to slowly walk around and enjoy. Parking (2€/h), nice food facilities and souvenires. Highly recommend.

Amazing waterfalls…The adult ticket is 12€. When flow is at its lowest, the rocks can be seen through the falls. Prior to the flow being fully reopened, a long siren sounds!

Amazing waterfalls. Artificial made by the Romans. Beautiful park. We started at the top. We arrived at 10 o clock. Waterfalls starts at 11 o clock. We walked down to 1, 2, 4 and back to the top.

Beautiful series of waterfall, the largest one being really massive and impressive. Well maintained paths! Can get very wet, slippery and muddy so wear appropriate clothing.We went here in winter and it was really cool but it is probably absolutely stunning in summer or spring!

Beautiful nature,so many things to do ,to explore! You need to be in a good condition to go to the final spot. It was hard to do it but it was worth it ❤️

Beautiful to see that this is 2300 years old and is also used for generating electricity nowadays! From May 5th 2023 parking prices are doubled, so it's not €5,- but € 10,- a day!When walking up and down at a normal speed with taking pictures, it'll take you approximately 3 hours. Watch the timetables as the waterfall does not always work!And one tip: also check if the buses are driving.... We had the down walk first, wanted to go by bus to the top, but lady from info said that the buses didn't drive. So we took the 600 steps stairs up in 30°C.

it was great but make sure to check working and water release hours in advance!

It was a astonishing experience. The view was perfect. You must visit the web site before going there to check the water release times. There were several different routes offering different views. You can park the car easily either to the parking lots just across the ticket office for 2€/hour or 5 minutes walking distance parking lot 8€ until end of the day.

Wonderful gardens with very few visitors. We were with an Italian friend who has heard there was a free tour, but there were no signs and the guy at the ticket office didn't say anything, so we asked and our names were put on the list (you'll need some Italian to do it). Apparently a different one of the various buildings is opened for the tour each week. We saw inside the limonaia with a very bored and fast-speaking guide who told us Margaret Thatcher had stayed there, though the picture she pointed to on the wall was of Princess Margaret!!! The gardens are a little run down, but definitely worth seeing.

We didn't come for accommodation, I am not reviewing hotel services.Villa Lante might not be as opulent as villa Farnese. It is minor in every way. But the adjacent garden is worth visiting. Quite lot of water works there. There is also park next to the villa with free entry. There is not much there except for the nature, trees and such. Also you can find a derelict fountain further down the way uphill.

A wonderful house to exhibit in the mediaeval town. Owned by Cardinal Gambara, it shows the power and wealth of the period. The garden and its water features with cascading fountains is exquisite. It's well worth a visit to see this Italian rennaisance garden. Recommend.

Perfect spot for a quiet walk away under ancient trees. Would be great if they had a coffee shop to allow visitors to admire the gardens from a table in this calm place. No amenities unfortunately. Stunning fountains and fresh air.https://youtu.be/Pm00YPKGfvk?si=vbi3ZLGYGB5OnTAe

Very pretty garden, similar to Versailles. This has been a great visit in winter, blue skies and few visitors. Love all these medieval towns! #alagreenviaggia

No POS!!!! In 2023!!!! A museum/villa without POS, only cash, and the bancomat for San Paolo charges 3 eur per transaction!!!! Ticket 8 eur plus 1 eur for Emilia Romagna, I was short 2 eur, nooooo, impossibile, go to the bancomat to pay 3 eur more for fee!!!! Grande Italia!!!!!

We accidentally stumbled upon this place and ended up spending about 3 hours there. Extremely beautiful spot. Highly recommend stopping there if you are in the area.

Beautifully designed gardens with fabulous waterworks. However, the whole place is in a state of disastrous neglect, the water works in disrepair and the garden is unkempt. It is so sad to let a beautiful landmark go to seed like this. The Italian government or the county should be held responsible for this disrepair. There are plenty of migrants or honorary workers Who would happily help to put the gardens and the fountains back into order I am sure and this at next to no cost. It is a shame!!!!!

Not as magnificent as Villa Farnese, but still beautiful.They neither have POS, nor change to give you when you are buying a ticket. The price of the ticket is 9€ (written in pencil over the price of 8€ printed on the ticket).

Such a romantic garden! Admire how the fountains were arranged and manipulated to creat a beautiful landscape. The garden is not massive so it gives a very intimate and quiet atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit in late afternoon to take advantage of the softened sunlight.

During my recent trip to the charming town of Viterbo, I had the pleasure of exploring the renowned Renaissance garden of Villa Lante in Bagnaia. Covering an area of approximately four hectares, the garden is spread across three main terraces and is considered one of the most famous Renaissance gardens in the world.The garden's most notable feature is its unique "prospect garden" design, which creates an illusion of depth and perspective through the strategic use of fountains, water features, and architectural elements. Walking through the garden, I couldn't help but be struck by the stunning beauty of the meticulously manicured hedges, colorful flower beds, and intricate stonework.As I made my way through the garden's winding paths and hidden corners, I discovered a variety of fascinating features and surprises, including hidden grottos, whimsical sculptures, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. It was easy to see why Villa Lante is one of the most visited attractions in Tuscia, with approximately 85,000 visitors per year.Overall, my visit to Villa Lante was a truly unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Viterbo. Whether you are an art lover, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, the garden's stunning design, intricate details, and serene ambiance are sure to leave you spellbound.

Wonderful afternoon for the whole family. Well designed gardens and fountains along the villa.The downside- that I can't order tickets online and accept only cash...

Ideal setting for summer parties - splendid Italian style formal garden with fountains, cascades, statues andtwo small palaces which are only partly opened to the public but are worth visiting for its splendid wall painting.

After coffees we walked the short distance to Villa Lante and paid the standard €5 cash to get in. This was also built by a cardinal so that was obviously a wise career choice for the Italian nobility. We couldn't go into the villa itself but there were two summer pavilions, each decorated in a similar style to the Palazzo Farnese. The main attraction though was the gardens, specifically the water features and fountains. These were cleverly designed to link each of the three terraces together and were absolutely beautiful, both visually and aurally.We spent almost two hours in the gardens and it was lovely just taking in the new view as we climbed each terrace. Each layer and fountain of the garden had an excellent information board so there was no shortage of stuff to read too! We walked back to the car park via a passageway with a mural detailing the procession of the Sacred Fire of St Anthony of Bagnaia, a local festival.

An amazing and surprising garden full of curious and big statues. Entrance fee a bit expensive (we payed 50€ for 2 adults and 3 children aged 5, 10 and 12), but on the positive side it had loads of parking space and it was worth for a nice walk. We stayed about 1,30h.

Such a magical place. Its surrealist stone sculpture garden. We were there in Jan but would have been great to be in warmer weather since its located in hilly landscape with streams and grass area. We spent about 1 hr walk around. Its easy terrain for slow walk but different elevation makes the park interesting. Love the face entryway, elephant sculpture and leaning building. Will definitely watch the movie where the entire movie scene was shoot in this park.

A parc with mysterious monsters , statues , and an inclined house. Good for a 2 hour stop nearby the beautiful village of civita di Bagnoregno .The parc is from 1500 and combines nature with man made structures , there is a restaurant and a short guide handed out which is included in the entrance fee .Very photogenic and beautiful for a walk

A great park with lots to see, filled with fruit and nut trees. A great experience for anyway, preferably when there are no school trips happening (there were 2 on the day of my visit). It would be better of the statue/monuments had signage with qr codes and audio guides or signage.

What an amazing place to visit! Highly recommended. Very well kept and unique. Great story

Incredible, marvelous, grotesque place. One of my most favorite parks in Italy - the statues are unique and create a labyrinthine and dreamlike atmosphere. Everybody should visit the Sacro Bosco at least once in their Life.

Entrance fees are tad expensive for what it is. Not too well sign posted within the park although the free map is helpful. Easy to imagine that it gets very busy over the weekend or other peak periods. However great entertainment for children and adults alike. Very well maintained and pleasant to walk through the lush, cool vegetation. Ideal for summer days. Gives a feeling of walking through Lord of the Rings settings.

If you like to walk around and see huge carved bizarre stone statues--you will want to come here. Created in the 1500s--I kept wandering what "they were on?"One of favorites was being inside the mouth of "Orcus" (you can have someone take your picture while in the mouth). In May, there was still a waterfall that was flowing.If you stay on the paths--pretty much wheel chair accessible.

Such an interesting trail in the woods with statues and a nice playground for kids.

What a great place to walk around, feels like you are walking in a giant magical forest. Amazing big rock sculptures.

Great experience in a well conserved sacre wood. Clean with good services (pic nic area, restaurant, bar and shop)

A very different place from everything you see in Italy. The sculptures are impressive in size and the gardens are amazing. The restrooms are cleans and the cafeteria offers a variety of snacks and drinks.

This place was AMAZING! It was otherworldly and incredibly surreal to be walking through the woods and suddenly come upon these massive sculptures. Its sad they were lost for so long, but I love that they have been so caringly restored and shared with the public.

Something different. Family of 4 costs 42 euro to visit, and that the only thin that looks bad. The place is interesting, lots of scluptures. Not very big area and takes 30-60 minutes to see everything.

It's a beautiful park, but the entry is overpriced in my opinion, dogs can not enter, but there is a free kennel with lock provided.

So impressive and so amazing. Great for adults and kids. Wear comfy shoes, lots of walking and steep stairs.

It's a nice park to visit for a stroll when the weather is nice. I wasn't too impressed by the statues (most are in a deteriorated state) and information provided about the works is minimal. So it's more of a walk in the park than visiting a museum. With some creativity and imagination there is some fun to be found, depending who you're with.

Wonderful gardens in a lovely town. The sculptures are amazing and the grounds beautifully maintained. The centre of the village has an excellent restaurant and bars

Cool spot. Worth the visit. A nice spot to have a picnic.

Very nice location. Cool old carvings from mythology that I very much enjoyed.

Very nice place to visit and enjoy the day. A combination of nature and art, an amazing combination of love to the nature and creativity. The entrance by May 23rd is a bit expensive (13€) but at the end it is fair to keep the place.

Amazing turistica city situated on the hills serving you with amazing views of other surrounding villages. Here you live the historic story of the 90s and you see amazing ancient houses. All tourists should have a visit here

Very nice attractive provincial town. Lots of good cafes and restaurants to satisfy your needs. Definitely worth a visit, they even installed a free shuttle bus to the piazza as the walk up the hill is quite tiring.3

Old Town with some interesting buildings and lots of alleyways to explore. Funicular out of action so free bus to town from parking area available.

One of the best little towns I have visited in Italy.

Beautifult place and historic town. Just sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine in this small cozy italian town.

Beautiful, and a lovely walk around the town.

Lovely main square full of life. On the south side is a gelateria so u can buy children's patience while u explore town 😎😎.

Todi is a hilltop town town in Umbria with amazing views . Since the centre of town is ZTL ( which means you have to park outside the walls and if you make the mistake of driving in, trust me, the fine will@arrive in the mail 🥲) Todi offers excellent options to get their visitors to the centre. Once parked in the Public paid parking there is either a shuttle bus every 15 minutes or a funicular into town, both of which are offered free.

Piazza is beautiful, worth to visit

This is a beautiful medieval square in the middle of an idyllic town. Well worth the drive. Found parking in the adjacent Piazza Garibaldi, and driving around the narrow streets to get in and out was a good experience.

The townsquare is offcourse fabulous, like all the squares in the old Italian towns. The town Todi as a whole is spectacular. A must visit, but the Piazza in it self is nothing special compared to all the other Piazzas in nearby towns. I'd say the connected Piazza Garibaldi is way nicer. It is smaller, has a really breathtaking view over the landscape beneath, and also a nice small cozy restaurant.

Spectacular building! Very unique. Much of the attraction can be seen from the outside but I think the €5 entrance ticket is worth it as the altar, chapels and organ inside are beautiful. Nicely preserved frescos. The entrance ticket also gains you access to a small museum and the space below the church. The highlight of Orvieto.

Magnificent! But the outside surrounding is just not on a level worthy of such magnificent building. There should be a park around with sitting benches etc. Not empty stone, where you can fry eggs on the floor during summer...Otherwise the whole city is so beautiful, peaceful, not crowded, with small tasteful shops where you can buy really nice and worthy craftmanship of all kinds and for all tastes. Also the food is upper level local food, anywhere you go.This is a real revelation in comparison to the horrible tourist infested Rome and Napoli.

A magnificent church as main feature of this medieval city, with splendid architecture and beautiful surrounding buildings of the time. The black-white layered marble throughout the facade gives it a majestic character found in similar Tuscan cities.

Wonderful experience! Such a fun visit with so many details to look at. The gift shop is nice too with reasonably priced touristy things. This place is absolutely stunning from inside and out!

Very beautiful Duomo / cathedral steeped in history and art. Can see the alabaster windows and stained glass inside. Floor is not the original mosaic like in Siena. The facade is gorgeous for those who don't want to pay the 5€ fee. But fee also included inside art painting and sculptures, tombs underground and Orvieto tunnels tour. Light a candle.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral in the heart of Orvieto. A must visit when in Orvieto. But be respectful. Shorts and dresses must be to your knees and shoulders must be covered to be admitted. Hats for men AND women are to be removed before entering.

The cathedral flagstone was laid on 13 November 1290 but work (reconstruction, redesign) continued into the 20th century. In fact, the beautiful bronze doors were added in 1970.The side walls, alternating layers of local white travertine and blue-grey basalt stone are a stark, but beautiful contrast to the glittering gold-accented front facade.Unfortunately, we could not enter the church owing to a funeral.A large rose window and golden mosaics, and a wealth of sculpture festoon the front. The cathedral has five bells, dating back to the Renaissance.

Very beautiful cathedral. Worth to go inside.Should check the opening hours, they change throughout the year.At summer it closes at 19:00

THE BIGGEST CHURCH I'VE EVER SEEN ATOP A MOUNTAIN!!!!!Orvieto was really something to see the town is atop a mountain they have a cable lift up mountain and on top you can take a ride on a trolley that takes you to different parts of Orvieto. Each hamlet has its own flavor, even a mid evil section ! But when you come to this church, it's mind-blowing! Beautiful! We took the trenetia train from Rome for about an hour twenty minutes. Great place to get out of Rome for a day. You will love it! Just be aware of the train schedule tricky. The trolley is 9 euro and lift two and half euro well worth it.

We returned to see any changes since our initial visit in 2021. The only difference I noticed was the addition of a cost to visit the dome - disappointing. It isn't much (€5), but enough to discourage us from entering.The walk from the visitor center to the duomo is quite the treat. You trek through the winding streets and alleys, passing by numerous stores, restaurants, and galleries. You end up coming g to a piazza which opens up onto this enormous duomo surrounded by cafest/restaurants - it is a wonderful site. If you have the time, I definitely recommend making the effort to visit.

A very impressive gothic cathedral. Free parking space nearby. Not very crowded.

The approach to the Duomo is spectaular! The external facade is one of the most impressive through Europe. Unfortunately, a number of the painted walls have deteriorated but the wall and ceiling paintings in the small chapel is amazing. The only downside is there is very little information in English..

Wow wow wow! This is a true beauty. Please go see this if you’re in the area. It is in my top 3 of all “Dom’s” in Italy, the design is absolutely insane and to think it took 300 years to build. I’m so thankful my friend dragged me out here and to the well. Worth it for a day trip 100%

Wirklich eine der schönsten Kirchen und unbedingt auch das Innere besuchen mit der Brizio-Kapelle und den realistischen Fresken von Luca Signorelli! Tickets gibt es gegenüber, für Behinderte kostenlos.Die Geschichten der Bibel wie in einem riesigen farbenglühenden Bilderbuch aus der Zeit der Gotik!(Translated by Google)Truly one of the most beautiful churches and be sure to visit the interior with the Brizio Chapel and the realistic frescoes by Luca Signorelli! Tickets are available opposite, free for disabled people.The stories of the Bible like in a huge, colorful picture book from the Gothic period!

One of the most beautiful cities and cathedrals. It is so stunning. Spend a day seeing Orvieto. 😍

Sehr schön einen Besuch wert die Historische Altstadt ist sehr schön . So wie man sich Italien vorstellt(Translated by Google)Very nice, worth a visit, the historic old town is very beautiful. Just like you imagine Italy

Possibly one of the most impressive cathedrals in Italy - With it’s breathtaking facade and prominent location / stunning. Also the frescos and stained glass are perfectly preserved/restored. Also Attending a concert here can be a life-changing experience.

I was impressed by the scales of the cathedral. The art inside can be compared with Milan's cathedral. Number 1 to visit in Orvieto.

Nestled in a quaint little hill town, this duomo is spectacular.What is the difference between a cathedral and a Duomo? They are in fact one and the same!Duomo is an Italian word for cathedral, which is a Catholic church where the bishop resides.I would not like to live in a world without cathedrals. I need their beauty and grandeur. I need their imperious silence. I need it against the witless bellowing of the barracks yard and the witty chatter of the yes-men. I want to hear the rustling of the organ, this deluge of ethereal notes. I need it against the shrill farce of marches.Pascal Mercer

I was there for a brief excursion in 2023 and decided I had to go back to explore and learn more so we stayed four days in a 1000 year old B&B and fully explored and discovered so much more of the town as well as " The tunnels" The cathedral is simply incredible, we enjoyed Easter services there too.

Awesome experience. You will be amazed with the beauty inside. It’s so picturesque and something to see. Make sure to see the organ and pipes up front. I can only imagine hearing it played. The stained glass windows offer some great photos. Take time to reset your own mindset before you exit.

Amazing man made well with plenty of history. Would suggest to read the history before you go as there wasn't much available on site. There was no reading material inside the well- so you literally walk down then back up. Flash- tour over! But still worth exploring

Another interesting and inexpensive adventure. I did not do the complete walk down approximately 500 steps. Down would have been fine but coming back up would not be as fun.

Something different and fun to do on your visit to Orvieto. Wouldn’t miss it if you are already in the city to see the duomo. Neat and well preserved, you start at the top of the well, walk down, and then walk back up. Roughly 250 steps each way. If you are claustrophobic, scared of heights, or not able to walk up that number of steps alse keeping in mind it can be damp and you should be careful of your footing, it may not be for you, but there are still beautiful views. Tickets to go in the well are €5. They did seem to keep good moderation of the number of people inside at once so it did not get too crowded, great for both heat and covid reasons.

What an unexpected stop. The well is located just out of the city center. Be prepared to walk. The stairs steps down make for sone quick pictures of the view to the well. The climb up is something different- prepare to stop and let those legs rest. You can will work up s sweat.

Great attraction in the city of Orvieto, it's a deep well with round stairs (people said around 500 steps each way lol) but it's so interesting! The ticket is 5€, reduced to 3.50 for groups of 6 or over. In my opinion is worth the visit :)

Nice concept of historical design, the design and the story will amuse you. One of the stories i heard is that there is two ways of the stairs because one is the way up and the other is to go down they made it like this so that the donkeys won't get on eachothers way.

Wow! Don’t miss it! The well is a fascinating piece of architecture. Before you enter, know that it is one way down, down, down, down, down…to the very bottom before you can go back up in the second staircase that pairs the descent - it’s amazing! Worth a visit if you don’t mind a lot of stairs, heights (yes, heights) and dark passages (Disclaimer: my claustrophobia clicked in and I only made it partway down before heading up the downwards staircase against the flow of visitors and pushing myself out the one way entry. Couldn’t do it but I still think the place is awesome).

2 spiral strairs, one to get to the bottom and the other to return back , be prepared there's a lot of stairs.....aprox 230 stairs each way. Buy tickets from the office, from near the funicular before getting down.

This is one of the most interesting places we have visited in Orvieto. It is really a unique place and has not been to other places like this. We enjoyed the visit but there are quite a bit of steps to walk back up!

An excellent interlude and most interesting well - fair walk down stairs only for the fit amongst us. Highly recommended

The Well of St. Patrick, located in Orvieto, Italy, is a hidden gem steeped in legend and history. According to local folklore, St. Patrick visited the site during his travels, blessing the well and leaving behind a sense of spiritual reverence. Nestled amidst lush greenery and ancient stone walls, the well exudes a sense of tranquility and mystery. Visitors can descend the narrow staircase to reach the well's crystal-clear waters, believed to possess healing properties. While the well itself may be small in scale, its significance in local lore and its peaceful ambiance make it a memorable stop for those exploring the rich cultural heritage of Orvieto.

A large well with two easy staircases, one to go down and another to go up. A perfect one way system. When I say easy, I mean the height of the steps isn't great but be aware that there are a lot of them, 248 I recall.

Unique in its shape and therefore unmissable, this well where once the mules descended using one of the two spiral staircases invented by Antonio da Sangallo to fill the bags of water and went up again using the other one in a one-way circuit.Its construction began in 1527 and lasted 10 years.Reaching the water descending the 248 steps can be a bit tiring but it is also possible to take a look only at the upper part where there is more light and go back without reaching it.Entry costscosts €5 but for €25 it is also possible to buy the cumulative ticket "ORVIETO CARTA UNICA" which also allows you to enter the Cathedral, "Orvieto Underground", Necropolis of Crocifisso del Tufo, Torre del Moro, "Pozzo della Cava", National Archaeological Museum, Etruscan Museum of Faina, "MODO Museum".Near the well the remains of the Etruscan temple of Belvedere.Nice landscape from the terrace.

Really interesting experience. 2 stairways...one down and one up and they follow the well wall but only meet at the bottom.Do not try this if you arenotfit enough. 248 steps each wayIt is a slog coming up...Tickets are available at the top of the finiculare

We visited the Well of St. Patrick. It cost 5 euro so it doesn’t break the bank. The construction is very interesting - one way down, cross the bridge and another way back up. Back in the day they had donkeys pull a cart down, fill the cart with water and the donkey would pull the cart back up. Today you walk down & back up. 247 steps down and 249 steps back to the top. About half way back up, you start wishing for that donkey cart to come along.You only need to visit the well once in a life time.

It is a page in the history of Perugia which bears witness to a vanished architectural structure; all that remains are those buildings which were transformed into the basem*nt of the hated Rocca and which today can be visited and explored. The Rocca has a very particular charm, it feels like walking in an ancient medieval street but indoors. Nice sensations.

Just fascinating.. a must see….This amazing archeological site and walkways of the buried city on which Perugia now stands … incredible

Wooww! It's a breathtaking view inside the building! It brought me to middle age, I could imagine Roman's soldier passed the tunnel (or what do you call connection wall made from stone). Amazing and it's (still) free!

Rocca Paolina in Perugia is an intriguing historical site that offers a glimpse into the city's past. Built in the 16th century, it showcases impressive architecture and provides panoramic views of Perugia. While exploring its underground passages and exhibitions, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich history of the region. Overall, it's a must-visit destination for history buffs and travelers exploring Perugia.

Amazing labyrinth of underground streets, the remnants of an extraordinary underground citadel.

Amazing view, peruggia is really high so you can spot several other cities from here, asssisi for example. It's a must for me

A huge Renaissance fortress from 1500 of which only a bastion today is remaining. But loved exploring it, the hidden corners. U get to upper levels of town through it. On top u get a nice view of Perugia.

A very interesting and informative walking tour of Perugia with Irene from Getyourguide. Tons of history.

Nice exhibitions inside when we visited that place there were lovely train and railway models which you could see for free

The Rocca Paolina, a 16th century papal fortress, is located within the historic center of Perugia. It is possible to visit the underground rooms, from the Etruscan Porta Marzia, from Piazza Italia and from Piazza Partigiani. Symbol of papal power, it was built by Pope Paul III Farnese (1540 -1543) who emerged victorious from the salt war against the Perugians.For its construction, based on a design by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, the most famous military architect of the time, a quarter of the city was destroyed, including the homes of the powerful Baglioni family. The fortress was made up of two fortifications: a larger one, on the Landone hill, and a smaller one on the plain, called "Tenaglia", connected to the first via three fortified walkways. Always hated by the people of Perugia, it was demolished by the citizens immediately after the annexation of Perugia to the Kingdom of Italy in 1860. The underground areas of the Rocca Paolina can be visited during the opening hours of the escalators that lead from Piazza Partigiani to Piazza Italia (6.15 am – 1.45 am); some rooms host an Exhibition Centre, generally open during exhibitions or particular events, and the Rocca Paolina museum which traces the historical events of the illustrious monument.

Stunning place.Best escalator ever!!

Nice walking through ancient 3 ages walls and streets.

It’s a nice lake to look at, but not to swim in. Fist of all, it’s a challenge to find a nice place to enter the water without walking through a swamp. Secondly, the water is murky, smelly and shallow. I’m a huge fan of natural lakes but when here, I (unfortunately) preferred the touristic swimming pools.

Lake Trasimeno, Italy's fourth-largest lake, is a stream-fed body of water surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and old castles. It offers freshwater fish and fishing, as well as all the water sports one can handle. With swimming-safe waters, a 50-kilometer bike path around the lake promoting exploration, and a natural park that encompasses the entire lake, this is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.If you want a very relaxing and laid back holiday in Italy then consider this area. Out of the madding crowd but close enough to roam Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio for those more adventurous types. Highly recommended.

No comment

I had a pontoon boat out on Trasimeno during 10 years. Loved it, many experiences & events happened on most trips.

Beautiful area! We had an AirBNB VILLA that over looked the Lake and it was a stunning view.

Very beautiful, But unfortunately, the water is very dirty and too hot 🔥 Hopefully they can clean it because its worth it 🙏🏽

A magnific place where to pass your Italian holidays! Many restaurants, cafè lake view and boats to go to Islands! Cool for nature lovers and family with kids! 😉😊

Surely will come to Umbria once again…

I went there for a picnic tour. That lake is really amazing. I wanna go there again.

Beautiful lake in the middle of breath taking Italian country.

We were enroute to Assisi and stopped at the lake for coffee. We were there early in the morning so it was lovely and quiet and we enjoyed the sculptures. A very pretty setting and it is a pity we did not have time to take the boat across to the island.

Saint Francis spent time here in prayer. This place is unique and our had its own aura and energy..... Visiting is s must

Eremo Francescano “Le Celle”In June we visited Cortona, we made a pilgrimage to visit Eremo Francescano “Le Celle”. The Hermitage is beautiful, situated on a steep valley with a stream running through the center. When we were there, the capers were starting to bloom. Capers grow anywhere from rock walls to open ground with a lot of sun exposure. Two monks were harvesting the capers and explained the entire process. These surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful, we enjoyed our visit. This was just another reason to visit Cortona the home of Frances Mayes, the author of Under the Tuscan Sun.HappuccinoLifeDarrell Grant

Must visit if in cortona area. Breath taking view and there is monastic cell of St. Francis about 36sqft built about 12-13th century.

13th Century monastery and convent. Beautiful place hidden in the mountains in Cortona. Worth exploring for an hour or two. Loved the history of it!

Serene location where history is palpable. One of the highlights of my trip.

Nice peaceful place to walk around and investigate. Parking lot is well marked.

Interesting religious site with limited public access not far from the town of Cortona. Makes for some interesting pictures and walks on the tracks surrounding it.

Amazing walk from Cortona, slightly hilly but only 4k. Nice to walk around but wasn’t so much going on while I was there in March. Looks beautiful so great for photos.

Well worth seeing. Beautiful grounds and so peaceful!

Beautiful space. Quiet, meditative and worth a visit and walk around.

Beautiful gardens and views. Thank you for your hospitality

Great little museum. Apart from the important Renaissance works of art there are a few other items of interest.

The place to indulge in some of the most famous masterpieces of Piero della Francesca.

Very nice museum. Only three Pietro Della Francesca's frescos and one amazing Madonna Della Misericordia. On Fridays and Sundays there's a piano suggestion too

The museum treated my partner who is blind with utmost disrespect. I will not recommend anybody to visit this stupid place. There are no elevators, no Braille brochures, no tactile walls. Useless!!!

Good if you have an interest in tuscan art. Unfortunately, the main work by Piero de la Francesca was undergoing some work when we visited but the gave us a discount because of this. Very professional

A unique museum where you can find the works of arts and famous paintings of PERO DELLA FRANCESCA and many others.

Small but full of wonders ✨️ a big thanks to the friendly personnel of the museum.

Très beau musée qui contient deux œuvres majeures de Piero della Francesca: La Résurrection du Christ et Le Polyptyque de La Miséricorde. Les autres collections sont également très intéressantes. Si vous venez à Sansepolcro, vous pourrez visiter aussi à Monterchi une autre œuvre de Piero Della Francesca : La Madonna Del Parto dans son nouveau musée situé près du vieux village. Vous pouvez aussi aller à Arezzo visiter l’église San Francesco qui est La Chapelle Sixtine des fresques peintes par Piero Della Francesca. Dans le Duomo d’Arezzo se trouve aussi la fresque de Sainte Marie Madeleine peinte par Piero Della Francesca. À Sansepolcro il convient de se promener dans la vieille ville qui est riche en bâtiments anciens.(Translated by Google)Very beautiful museum which contains two major works by Piero della Francesca: The Resurrection of Christ and The Polyptych of Mercy.

If you come to Sansepolcro, you can also visit another work by Piero Della Francesca in Monterchi: The Madonna Del Parto in its new museum located near the old village. You can also go to Arezzo to visit the San Francesco church which is the Sistine Chapel with frescoes painted by Piero Della Francesca. In the Duomo of Arezzo there is also the fresco of Saint Mary Magdalene painted by Piero Della Francesca. In Sansepolcro it is worth strolling through the old town which is rich in ancient buildings.

The museum is renewed with interactive screens that explain details of the masterpieces and the city.

Lieu magnifique qui présente une collection d'une qualité exceptionnelle de peintures et fresques de la fin du moyen-âge à la renaissance, dont la fameuse fresque de la Résurrection par Pietro della Francesca, récemment restaurée. A voir absolument.(Translated by Google)Magnificent place which presents a collection of exceptional quality of paintings and frescoes from the end of the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, including the famous fresco of the Resurrection by Pietro della Francesca, recently restored.

Impressive historical church in the middle of the city center of Arezzo. You definitely will walk along this nice place and building when you pay a visit to Arezzo. We were here in September 2021, while it was not too crowded. We didn’t pay a visit to the inside because you can see the inside through a “door window”… .

This Basilica has being built in the 13th century and it is famous for the fresco on the wall by Piero dela Francesca. Visitors are allowed only for specific time , around 30 minutes, in the church and you have to buy a ticket before which costs 8 euro.

Truly unique frescoes from Piero de la Francesco and a cross from Cimabue. A beautiful church. There is an entry fee to be paid.

Piero della Francesca was an Italian painter and mathematician, whose work - centered almost exclusively on religious subjects - exerted a strong influence on many Renaissance painters. he gained his reputation through his artistic representations in perspective and through geometric forms, as well as through the theoretical knowledge formulated in his writings. To its recognition were added very realistic elaboration of details, refined color palette and bold decorative solutions.In 1452, Piero della Francesca receives the order for the decoration of the choir of the church of San Francesco in Arezzo, after which the cycle of paintings was born illustrating the most important episodes of the "Legend of the true cross", inspired by the story "The Legend of Gold" by Jacques de Voragine from the thirteenth century. The cycle contains six large scenes, three on each of the two sides of the chapel, as well as a group of smaller frescoes. The work on this monumental work will take many years, as the artist travels all the time and always accepts new orders. The fresco will be finished only between 1462-1466.

Good stained glass windows & ceiling paintings. In the crypt there was an exhibition of Style & Costume in Italy 1900-1960 which was very interesting with some fine exhibits & a nice fresco ceiling.

Outstanding works of art by Piero della Francesca, Spinello Aretino and others in this magnificent church.

Außergewöhnliches Museum mit Fresken, die absolut sehenswert sind! Ein kulturelles must see!!(Translated by Google)Extraordinary museum with frescoes that are absolutely worth seeing! A cultural must see!!

A place to see the historical basilica and one of the great works of fresco art.

A definite must see if you are anywhere near Arezzo. The church is quite amazing and the frescos are quite amazing!

It was indeed a gem. We had a lot th whole day. Prayer, meals, encounter, tour around the place and concluded with a procession and a mass.

A magical place. Holy and surrounded by pleasant woods for walking. Only down side is that the electrically amplified services in the square jar with the peace.

Serene and peace. The architecture is impressive. The history and the views are breathtaking

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, La Verna is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and spiritual significance. Its rugged cliffs and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop to the iconic La Verna Sanctuary, where St. Francis of Assisi once communed with nature and received the stigmata. A pilgrimage to this hallowed site promises a profound connection with both the divine and the wonders of the Italian landscape.

Absolutely STUNNING PLACE whether you are believer or not. It is very suggestive place in the mountains in province of Arezzo (Tuscany). It consists of couple of buildings of sanctuary, church, chapels, place where Saint Francis received the stigmas, small museum, shop. You can feel strong spirituality and huge peace there.When i entered the church, one of Franciscan monk played the grand piano and I burst into tears without reason.We didn't planned this visit on our journey, we were with our dog, which was not a problem everywhere outside. Please pay attention, there is about 5-7 degrees colder in this valley, we suggest to take jumper or jacket with you.We ate local "piadinas" in small bar near the parking place.Surely WORTH OF NEXT VISIT AGAIN.

Stunning location for a very important Catholic monastery, St. Francis of Assisi.

A lovely morning. A very friendly and helpful nun explained the different areas of the Santuario.

Lovely place to visit. Great to start walking from.

Here your Soul will breath the scent of the Holy Spirit ... Here your Soul will experience the touch of the Highest, the hug of Holiness, the Caress of Infinity! Do not miss this place whoever you believe in, despite you incidentally do not believe . . . you shall!

Good food at the “foresteria”I slept in the comune barroom and everything was very clean and cosy.If you will arrive in train, be carful not to miss the bus that will bring you from the railway station to the sanctuary. The last one is at 18:05 h.

Beautiful place to experience the serenity and grace of the Franciscan spirituality. A place so dear to St Francis of Assisi. Set amongst a hill top cliff, it speaks of all things Francis, nature, serenity, wildlife.

The serpentine road to here is long but it's still worthy to visit this place if you are around as it is a very unique and significant sanctuary of Christianity. It was touching to see the original dress of St. Francis.

If you seek penance, reflection, if you are at the crossroads of life, if you need to find and speak to God, go to La Verna and stay there. God will speak to you.

This place is simply amazing . It is so peaceful and quiet and the views are mind blowing

La Verna is an incredibly beautiful place high up on a mountain with fantastic views. I am not religious but I always get a peaceful, calm , almost religious feeling whenever we visit.

Der Weg bginnt am Parkplatz und es geht durch den Wald bergauf. Dann erreicht man das obere Areal. Die Mönche sind gerade zum Gottesdienst versammelt und man sieht sich um. Ich befindet mich in dem Säulen-Gang der zu der Grotte führt, als die Tür zur Kapelle aufgeht und sich die Mönche langsam in zwei Reihen durch den Gang singend auf mich zubewegen. Deren Gesang und die Akustik sind überwältigend. Als die Gruppe nach ca. zwei Minuten an mir vorbeigezogen ist, bin ich erst einmal sprachlos….Ich bin kein sehr gläubiger Mensch, aber dieses erlebt zu haben, hat mit tief berührt und mir für den Rest des Tages einiges zum Nachdenken gegeben! Es versteht sich von selbst, dass man ein solches Ereignis weder filmen noch fotographieren kann.(Translated by Google)The path starts at the parking lot and goes uphill through the forest. Then you reach the upper area. The monks have just gathered for worship and you look around. I am in the colonnaded corridor that leads to the grotto when the door to the chapel opens and the monks slowly move towards me in two rows through the corridor, singing. Their singing and the acoustics are overwhelming. When the group passed me after about two minutes, I was speechless...I'm not a very religious person, but experiencing this touched me deeply and gave me a lot to think about for the rest of the day! It goes without saying that such an event cannot be filmed or photographed.

Amazing wonderful monastery in stunning beauty. ideal for those who are close to nature and spiritual peace. The route is beautiful for cyclists and motorcyclists.

A beautiful peaceful Monastery. Stunning views all around it. Beautiful artworks & a sense of calmness in the Sanctuary.

Tolles, aktives Kloster. Sehr freundliche Menschen. Wenige Schritte bis zum Parkplatz. Behindertenparkplätze vor der Türe. Wir konnten bis ins Heiligtum und haben eine Prozession erlebt. Schöner Shop und es gibt Mittagessen bis 14:30.(Translated by Google)Great, active monastery. Very friendly people. A few steps to the parking lot. Disabled parking spaces in front of the door. We were able to get into the sanctuary and experience a procession. Nice shop and they serve lunch until 2:30 p.m.

One of the favorite places of St Francis; and for good reason! Wonderful blend of sacred architecture and nature. Don't miss going down into the caves. The place is drenched in prayer.
