Taking up the entirety of one side of the main square in "new" Pompeii, this magnificent Cathedral is well worth seeing from the inside...high, vaulted ceilings covered with paintings in the classical style, the story of Jesus of course, plus tales of saints. We were lucky to hear grand music emanating from the working organ. Step out of the mad heat to enjoy the serene beauty of the space. Stunningly lit at night, all the way to the tip of the cross. There was a sign for a lift, but we didn't go up the bell tower.

Stunning church with beautiful paintings and frescos. The whole ceiling is adorned. Must visit if you're in the area. Heads up it might be closed from 1pm yo 3pm.

Beautiful church, the inside is breathtaking, so much detail and so much to see. Definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area. Great restaurants in the church square as well.

Absolutely breathtaking! The Santuario della Beata Vergine Maria del Santo Rosario di Pompei is stunning inside and out. The architecture, art, and spiritual atmosphere left me in awe. A must-visit if you’re in Pompei.

A very beautiful church in the center of Pompeii. The building and paintings are amazing, and it feels calm inside.

Beautiful basilica that is worth visiting. There is also a bell tower, which has a nice view, but unfortunately it was closed during my visit.

This is a very beautiful church inside and outside. A service was going on when we were there. Handicap friendly entrance.

An alley full of souvenirs from Naples. Definitely worth a visit despite some of the kitschy products. A visit to Naples is not complete without a visit to this alley.

An alley of traditional art and souvenirs, very cool to see the movement of some. Recommend to visit...

Lively street famous for its handmade nativity scenes and artisan shops. Full of charm and tradition, it’s a must-visit to experience Naples’ unique craftsmanship and festive spirit year-round.

Beautiful little street with everlasting Christmas decorations (many handmade) all year long. Christmas lasts forever here. Perfect for some memorable takeaways or simply making memories if you love Christmas.

Beautiful scenes from nativity and some modern ones too. You can also buy one for home if you like Hats off to the artists. Enjoyable for kids.

It’s a narrow medieval lane that connects two of the old city’s main roads: Via dei Tribunali and Via San Biagio dei Librai. On both sides you’ll see old buildings with arches, balconies, and traditional Neapolitan façades. The atmosphere is always lively, with the street full of both locals and tourists.

Great street cramped full of shops selling Christmas things and other great things . A visual treat and a must for any visit to Naples

Somewhat interesting. The guide wasn’t loud enough at times, some words I didn’t understand and people were talking, also the group was like 50, way too big. The tunnels were fun to go into and the area in general is pretty interesting. The wine cellar at the end was cool but very small. Women at the ticket counter wasn’t sure you if you could get online tickets and when I returned with an online ticket, she scanned it… why she couldn’t just say you could is beyond me, language barrier or just not too interested in your job who knows. Get an online ticket to get in faster, cash only otherwise.

fascinating experience. The guided tour through Napoli Sotterranea gives a completely different view of the city’s history — from ancient aqueducts to World War II shelters. The guide was knowledgeable and made it easy to imagine life underground. The passages are narrow at some points, so good shoes are a must. Definitely worth visiting if you want to see something unique in Naples.

The group size is too big. 57 people in one group is too much. At the entrance it was chaos. We bought our ticket online. It said to bypass the queue, only to be send back at the end of the queue. At the smallest part we had to go back because another group entered at the other side. One woman started to panic and the guide didn't even notice. The upper part was done by another guide. He walked very fast and we lost him somewhere. Also his voice was soft. The group was quiet, but still at the back you couldn't hear what he was saying. It was nice what was shown, but the big group spoiled it somehow.

Ok so I have mixed feelings about this. First of all, when you arrive it's a huge chaos at the entrance. Why don't they put ropes with 2 lines to separate the tours by language and then some passage to let people with online tickets to pass in front of everyone (since it's a SKIP THE LINE ticket!!) Then... There are just too many people in each group. I think there were at least 60 in our group. This creates a huge problem with people pushing to take photos and another problem when the guide is talking and half of these people are talking so you can't hear anything! The tour itself is nice, there's a very very narrow passage where you can't be claustrophobic otherwise it will be a problem. For my surprise, this is a 2 part tour. The first one is the underground itself then they will take you by foot in the streets further to another place which doesn't add much apart from the "surprise" (no spoilers). Another problem: these tour guides are basically formatted robots. They learnt the lines and that's it. I'm sure they know nothing about the underground, in our case our guide was asked several questions to which he answered "I have no idea" to almost all of them. The funniest one was a girl asking how they pumped the water and he answer was "it's physics".....

It was a nice experience, the guide was well prepared, made the tour interesting and answered our questions promptly. I expected the visit to be in only one place, but the remains of the ancient amphitheater were in a bulding close by. We bought our tickets through a provider, not directly at the entrance, but it is ok either way. A little warning: there are many steps to go down, and, after the tour, to climb up.

Interesting tour experience with the main attraction being a few yards under the main street level. Used during major historical operation like WW2 and remnants of ancient civilization was unique. The display case showed figures in German SS patrol outfits to illustrate Italy under German occupation in the 40’s. The guide was ok but clear she didn’t have a lot of public speaking experience. She was hard to understand tho seemed to be doing her best with the crowd. The tight tunnels were interesting though again info was not clear of what things were used for so there was a lot of guessing to be done.

We were not planning to visit this place until the last minute because we had time before departing the train. We bought the ticket online an hour before the stsrting time which is 12pm on a Thursday. Lots of slots. Arrived 10 min before, there were people lining up between English and Italian tour guide. There is no solo entering, only group tour so be on time. This is what it gets interesting, when we head downstairs into the underground, we had to stop at one point. It's like 40m below the ground. All of a sudden I felt ill, like I was out of oxygen and going to faint. I don't know if it's because of the thin air, being claustrophobic or fear of being stuck underground, but I almost quit and went back a few times. I only calm down after few minutes and I tried hard to breathe properly. Was breathing through a nose mint inhaler the entire time. My partner calm me down and was massaging my neck and hand. I was just trying hard not to faint. When it came to the point where we had to go through a narrow passage, I tried the first path and bail out. My body was just not accepting it. So I waited for everybody for like 5 min at the waiting point. If you can go through the narrow passage, you'll be able to see the water pond. After 30 min we were able to go back upstairs. I felt a big relief. Then we moved to an old house that has another underground passage way. 🙂‍↔️ I thought it was going to be a challenging fun interesting experience but I now know that I'll never do a cave or underground adventure. Just not for me. I'm an adrenaline junkie - tried skydiving, bungee, or scuba dive, and never thought I would have fear of being in the underground. Conclusion, feel free to go if you think you can handle it. Out of all the 50 ish group, only 3 (me, 2 old couple) did not go through the narrow passage.

The Veiled Christ sculpture is without a doubt the most impressive. The way the marble looks like a delicate, transparent veil over Jesus is unbelievable. I honestly couldn’t believe it was carved from a single block of marble. It’s one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces of art I’ve ever seen. The other piece that really stood out to me was the one with the marble net (Il Disinganno). The fine detail in the net is just mind blowing. Although the chapel isn’t very big, every part of it is full of intricate art and symbolism. I do wish we could take photos, but I also understand why it’s not allowed, it helps you focus more on the moment. Highly recommend booking in advance, as it can get very crowded. But it’s 100% worth visiting!!

The highlight of my trip is Guiseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel Museum in the heart of Napoli’s old city. I have been waiting for this moment since for 2 years when i first learnt about this incredible masterpiece. The thinness, fluidity and transparency of the veil, the expression on the face and body of Christ as he laid in the tomb is remarkable and hard to imagine that the material is marble. Very unforgettable an experience. The staff are helpful and excellent in managing crowd flow. The chapel is small and the experience of entering in is intense and mystical. Too bad no photography of any kind is allowed but there were books to purchase at the end. I wish there were more literature on Guiseppe Sanmartino’s life and history. This great craftsman remains a mystery to me for now.

Another artistic treasure in Naples, so much to see it was overwhelming! The intricate detail is astounding!! Definitely worth a look see!!

So there is no warning online when you buy the expensive tickets that you can not take photos inside. Which is fine, people would take a long time if everyone took photos, and it is a small chapel. However you can not take photos in the store of the postcards either. I find that ridiculous for the price of 12€ entry to this tiny thing. Also typical rude Napolitans employees, but that is expected i guess.

An absolute must-see in Naples. Although the San Severo Chapel is just one single room, it’s one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The sculptures and frescoes inside are stunning, with an incredible level of detail and realism. It’s really worth getting the audio guide, as it explains in depth the history and meaning behind each sculpture and fresco. Without it, you miss a lot of context and can’t fully appreciate what you’re seeing. For such a short visit, it’s definitely worth it. The visit takes around 20–30 minutes, and it never feels long or heavy. It’s short, fascinating, and full of beauty. If you’re in Naples, it’s an essential stop — a small gem you shouldn’t miss.

This is not to be missed when in Naples! Some of the most incredible art I have ever seen! Some of the most famous works of art are in this chapel. No photos allowed so you can really just focus on what you are seeing. You can get pictures when you are leaving by scanning a bar code. Highly recommend!

It is a wonderful chapel full of potent history but the "do not take picture" is a very stupid policy as I saw tons of people shooting around and even here I can witness other people posting their pictures. Just get rid of this policy please. Photos are all around the world. I really dont understand why you dont want people to bring home this true neapolitan gem and beauty. And I am speaking as neapolitan myself.

Perhaps the best museum I've ever been to. Having visited Pompeii and Herculaneum a few days before, this place was a must after that experience. There are so many artefacts, in particular paintings, which come from these places, that really enriches your understanding and increases your sense of awe. As someone who loves ancient statues, this was like heaven. So many wonderful ones there is no point in picking any out, there are so many here it is bewildering. If you have any interest in antiquity then this should be on your bucket list. We went on a Friday in late October. There were plenty of people but it was quieter than I expected. We spent over 4 hours here and we were not bored for a second. Highly recommended.

This is a must see, especially if you have been to Pompeii or Herculaneum. I would recommend doing those sites first and then the museum because it gives you context for what you are seeing. The mosaics were incredible. The exhibit on erotica made me laugh out loud. No signs in the museum not to touch objects, except here on the giant phalluses. Sigh. Also in the hall if the colossal statues there is a room at the far end, it had the jewels of a prominent family whose line ran out. It was incredible, and there was maybe 5 people in the exhibit. In the basement is an Egyptian exhibit that in my opinion was better than the Louvre, mainly because there was not a thousand people crushing through it. Definitely worth visiting.

So beautiful! a must-see in Naples! This museum was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s full of stunning life-sized statues with the most amazing details, plus incredible art and artifacts from Pompeii. You really get a feel for what ancient life was like. You could easily spend hours here just wandering around and taking it all in, there’s so much to see!

This museum is big. So many artifacts in there. Tons of statues. We went to see the Pompeii ruins as it houses the largest collection of items unearthed. Even glass kitchen wares. Even to move quickly through it you'll need a few hours. Oh, and dont skip out on the Secret Cabinet section. I cant post pics as Google will shoot down this post. Google it, its pretty interesting.

What an amazing place. You will need more than one day to see everything. Easy to fet to if you use the metro. Magnificent statues and sculptures. The mummy section is definitely a must. I can't recommend this place enough.

This museum is so underrated! It was amazing. The sculptures, the mozaiks, the paintings. The coffee shop inside the museum is nice and the toilet is nice too. We spent 2-3 hours in here and didn't even notice it went by so fast. This is a must do in Naples.

British persons review 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 We went on the free Sunday which is the first Sunday of every month. We went at opening time and it was populated but not heaving with people. Very cool huge statues, a room that is reminiscant of the Sistine Chapel, very interesting artwork and places to sit and relax. The gift shop didn't have a lot other than books and a few very expensive figurines. But there was a couple of other things that was reasonably priced. It does look rough from the outside but is lovely inside. All in all a very good experience I recommend.

Very cute park, not huge but big enough to spend an afternoon, it's not crowded on weekends. There is a restaurant, a bar and you are able to rent a canoe for 2 people for 12 Eur (30 mins) . The water is very clear but you cannot swim in it. Altogether a nice stop, there is a pic nic area and the entrance to the park it's free

This is a very relaxing and amazing place. The river has bright and amazing colours. It is not allowed to swim into the river. However you can hire a canoa. During the weekend it is pretty full of people.

Super crowded place, pretty uncomfortable, annoying constant noise from parrots and smoke from barbecues all around. Definitely not recommended, especially if long drive. Parking is a mess also.

Great time with friends drinking, eating and doing all available activities. We went canoeing, horseriding and made good use of the bbq.

The park was really beautiful, there are so many things to do such as canoeing, bbq, having a picnic and playing in the park. There is also a restaurant and a bar. There are many animals, plants and trees; it was really clean and lovely. It is great for family and couples

Perfect for a day out in nature but close to towns. Equipped with bbqs outdoor, the restaurant is also very good

Nice park. Lots of different wildlife. Plenty of shade. Many different BBQ Areas. Kayaking. The water is always cool... Some muskrats moved in recently. The restaurant is also good.

Il Monastero is a unique hotel that offers five star quality surroundings, staff and food. The lush gardens, beautiful views, tranquil and relaxed feeling … it’s a special place you really need to absorb and take in. Multiple nights suggested: Ischia offers plenty for 3-4 days and is better enjoyed without a rush. And Il Monastero offers the perfect stay.

Our stay was nothing short of spectacular. The location is incredible - you’re staying in a unique monument with views that are out of this world (even considering Italian standards). The family owned hotel is very tastefully decorated with art made by several of the family members - perfect blend of history with contemporary touches. The breakfast was another highlight - varied and delicious ingredients. Loved the cafeteria as well that offered varied frames over the bay and sea under the trees. The garden was just incredibly beautiful. Service was outstanding, including the proactive help we got with managing our luggage up and down the hill. One of the most unique hotels I’ve stayed in. Would go back in a heartbeat

​My recent visit to Il Monastero Hotel was a wonderful experience, set against one of the most spectacular backdrops imaginable. From the moment we arrived, the check-in staff made us feel incredibly welcome, taking the time to explain everything we needed to know for our stay. ​Our room, #21, was a particular highlight. It was not only spacious and comfortable but also featured a balcony with truly spectacular views that we couldn't get enough of. The evening atmosphere was lovely as well. We enjoyed drinks and a decent dinner in a beautifully set environment. Dinner was Ok. ​While the stay was wonderful overall, a couple of things could be improved. The breakfast was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the experience. The coffee, in particular, was quite poor, and it felt a little limiting when the staff only offered "espresso or cappuccino" to guests. I believe with a little more training, the breakfast service could easily match the high standards of the rest of the hotel. Keep in mind that there are few stairs to climb, the lift went out of service during our last night. While we enjoyed the experience of walking up to the hotel, others might find it difficult. ​I highly recommend using the parking lot about a 12-minute walk away. It was a convenient solution for keeping our car overnight. ​Despite these minor points, our stay was truly special and I would absolutely go back one day to experience the unique charm and incredible views that Il Monastero offers.

This experience was truly unique: to be accommodated in such a fabulous castle, with a breathtaking view and a team of staff that are absolutely the kindest possible. Il Monastero is the only place in Ischia which can offer such experience. We are truly grateful for being able to live it just before the season ended! Thank you very much.

The Albergo II Monastery is a magnificent blend of history and hospitality - an old Monastery and caslte lovingly converted into a hotel. The setting is stunning, with breathtaking gardens and panoramic views over the island that are simply unforgettable (especially if you are there on the Feast of St Anna - amazing view on the fireworks). The food is outstanding: organic refined, flavorful, and of an exceptional quality. The staff are warm, attentive and go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The design and aesthetics are nice, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere. Overall, a beautiful and memorable stay. It is a little sad that the building's original monastic identity has been almost entirely erased - especially in such a historic comple, in a country with deep Catholic roots like Italy. The rooms, while comfortable, could benefit from slight renovations to add more "wow" factor, comfort and a stronger sense of character.

It was such a treat to stay here! A unique experience and outstanding views. Super cool to explore the site, eat at an upscale restaurant, and friendly staff too. They have porters, but still check ahead of time that it's accessible for your needs (stairs).

This is sheer heaven. Staff so helpful and kind. Views amazing and history , well read about it. One needs to be fit as many steps to get there. A lift for part of it. I was using a stick so that slowed me down. Lovely Salvatore made sure our cases were taken from us on arrival and departure. I have left a bit of my heart there and will go back. The French’s

I think it’s one of Italy’s hidden gems. Such a lovely place with marvelous architecture and a beautiful garden. However, I believe it deserves more care and attention—the garden could be even more stunning than it currently is. The entrance ticket to the palace was €12 as of September 2025, with the last entry at 6 PM. After 5 PM, the fee is reduced to €5. The garden has a separate entrance fee of €3 and remains open until 7:30 PM. I highly recommend visiting this palace. It’s truly worth it!

I can't recommend it enough, it's astonishing. If I was to go back I'd visit the palace one day and the gardens another. I spent a whole day from 8:30 am to 4pm and I could have easily spent a few more hours just walking around soaking the beauty of the place, but I was tired and I had to get the bus back.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is a stunning 18th-century masterpiece, rivaling Versailles in scale and elegance. Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli for the Bourbon kings of Naples, it features lavish interiors, grand staircases, and expansive gardens with fountains and sculptures. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers a majestic glimpse into royal opulence and Italian artistry.

A magnificent place that truly impresses with its scale and beauty! 🏛️ The palace resembles Versailles but with its own Italian charm — vast halls, marble staircases, frescoed ceilings, and beautifully preserved 18th-century furnishings. The park is especially breathtaking — an endless alley with fountains, cascades, and statues stretching for several kilometers. It’s best to allow at least 3–4 hours for a walk, and if you plan to reach the Grand Waterfall on foot, reserve the whole day. You can rent an electric cart or a bike, and if you’re visiting with a group, it’s convenient to take a small shuttle bus — just €5 per person. 🎟️ It’s best to buy tickets online to avoid queues. ☕ At the very end of the park, near the waterfall, there’s a cozy café where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and relax after the walk. 📷 It’s also one of the most picturesque places in Campania for photography. Overall — an absolute must-visit if you’re in Naples or nearby. Historical grandeur, natural beauty, and a true sense of the past — all in one place. ⭐ Rating: 5/5

Grandiose structure (mostly empty) but the royal chambers (Piano nobile) are quite extensive and richly decorated and elegantly furnished. I enjoyed a 90 minute very informative guided tour in Italian (unfortunately with an excessive amount of Bourbon-era nostalgia... and no critical comment on the social costs of such bombastic projects and the sociopolitical effects of spatial distancing of royalty from the common folk in a guilded playground). I found this Reggia more elegant and pretty than the Quirinal and some other palaces in Italy (laden with austere or disproportionate displays of Baroque or mismatched styles or unfinished or unrestored works). Many similar palaces in Germany and Austria are however more elegant and aesthetically pleasing (they have also been restored to a supreme level of splendor and decadence by exceedingly generous government allocations in recent years). What recent administrations have done to restore the Reggia after decades of neglect is surely remarkable. The mixture of contemporary art with the original museum exhibits (after COVID) is not always very convincing: some combinations work fine but in other cases there is no real dialogue between works of art (the contemporary pieces - of differing quality and from a single collection linked to a recent natural disaster - seem put there very jarringly simply to respect the conditions of the donation, i.e. that they reach the widest public possible, and little concern for the dignity and harmony of the rooms' decor). Some works would work better in the empty exhibition spaces of the palace (even with baroque and neoclassical works included for comparison). But then you if you expand the exhibition spaces, you need to keep visitors there the whole day to visit the royal chambers and the rest of the museum. So you would need to attract families with children (with some technology exhibits, children's areas, etc.) and full day visitors (with a food court, performances in the gardens, picknic areas, horse riding...). I hope the site continues to develop into a mature and diversified tourist venue.

Not just a must see, an amazing experience! One of the most beautiful gardens i ve ever been in my life! You should definetely go there. You can skip the palace, its just another palace, but you should get to the garden! We ve made the one way on foot, and we came back with the bus. Its a reaaaaly long distance, so i would suggest you to rent a bicycle. it would be much more pleasant. If you get there at its opening time, you will have the garden for yourself!!!

The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly breathtaking. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, it was meant to rival Versailles and you can really feel it. The rooms are grand and elegant, the monumental staircase is stunning, and the huge gardens with fountains and long water basins are spectacular. The history behind it, from its royal origins to its UNESCO recognition, makes the visit even more meaningful. Absolutely worth seeing if you’re in Campania!!!

While the beauty and care with which the gardens have been cultivated are truly admirable, my visit was unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that smoking is permitted within the grounds. Allowing visitors to smoke in such a serene, carefully preserved natural environment is not only detrimental to the air quality and atmosphere but also deeply detracts from the experience for those who come seeking peace, beauty, and inspiration. The gardens, created over many years with such dedication and vision, deserve to be enjoyed in a setting that respects their tranquility and ecological integrity. Sadly, the presence of cigarette smoke made it difficult to fully appreciate the space and ambiance that Sir William Walton and Lady Susana Walton so lovingly brought to life. I strongly urge the Foundation to reconsider its policy on smoking within the gardens. Implementing a non-smoking rule would preserve the healthful environment, enhance the experience for all visitors, and align more closely with the spirit of harmony and reflection that La Mortella was clearly intended to embody.

Gorgeous gardens (ticket 12 €), quite large, so you will spend some time here. There is even a small cafe bar with some food right under the Greek theater (you can also find toilets here, next to the theater). We also caught the concert in the evening from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM and the ticket cost only 8 €. Fallowing the song for parking and ticket office if you are by car (around 1 km from down, another entrance by foot).

This is a must-visit-place if you visit Ischia! The place is incredible, and there's so many wonderful, beautiful and unique places. Make sure to have plenty of time, and it is a big garden and theres quite a lot of walking, paths up and down, elevations and stairs. At the very top and bottom, trees offer you a bit of shade and fresh air. The the levels in between, the sun and stairs can make it an incredibly warm experience. Make sure to bring water and something for your blood sugar if it is a very warm day. The place is relatively easy to reach by public transportation. Parking is a bit more tricky, however if you enjoy a slightly challenging drive on small roads there's a small parking lot at the very top of the garden.

If you’ve visited botanical gardens in other major cities (500,000+ population), this one won’t surprise you — it’s pleasant, but quite standard. Plan for about an hour to see everything. One important tip: there are a lot of tiger mosquitoes here. If you’re not familiar with them, look them up and make sure to bring repellent — it will make your visit much more enjoyable.

Beautiful environment, full of different plant species. 🌿 Highly recommend getting tickets for the concert they host it’s an amazing experience with incredible views! 🎶✨

A stunning set of gardens. Tranquil and inspiring. We also enjoyed an outdoor concert one evening whichbwas also a joy with all the scent from the garden mixing in with the frogs chorus from the ponds. Cant recommend more highly. Wegot there for when it opened at 9 as it was cooler and less busy.

Definitely worth the price and super nice to get some shade in there when it's super hot outside. Make sure to keep in mind the guided tour groups that might arrive on the daily around 10:30-11-30am

Beautiful gardens with private space, very peaceful. Better suited to guests with younger members as the pools are slightly cooler. Nice places to eat and shopping opportunities. The pools are naturalistic and might be tricky for people with mobility or sight issues,(lots of unlevel steps in and out of the water) But I really wouldn't let that put you off. This place is stunning and I'd definitely recommend spending a day there.

We've been in Naples for six days. On the seventh day we rested here. Fabulous retreat. The thermal baths were divine.

Came here on a super rainy day and it was beautiful! It is EMPTY at the beginning of October. The pools up on the cliffside were magical. Would return again! Only small downside is that if you rent a towel (8euros), to get a dry one (and it was pouring the whole time) you have to pay again. I understand but it seemed like a little bit of a cash grab since the park is already 90+ euros for two people.

Beautiful place but some disappointments. - The setting is extraordinary and without equal. The beach is perfect. It is a 20 minute And 30 Euro taxi ride from the main port. - All over Italy, water fountains are running and plentiful. Not at Negombo. Despite paying the equivalent of over $100 for 2 people, the only drinking water available is for sale. Stating hydrated after thermal baths is important, and Negombo makes you pay. - You pay the equivalent of $10 more to rent a single towel. Plus a $15 deposit on the towel that is returned to you as you give the wet towel back. But their refusal to exchange a soaking wet cold towel for a fresh dry one after you have used it all day is a surprisingly stingy element if the operation. - The squatting toilets are unpleasant and challenging for many. If management could simply address the 3 issues above (water, towels and toilets), this would be a 5 star experience.

A brilliant thermal spa and beach place. It costs €100 for 2 adults for a full day but there’s lot a to see with many thermal pools a great beach and normal pool’s. Lots of facilities on site including toilets and changing rooms. Lockers are free but cost you a returnable €20 deposit. Your entry price includes 2 subbed 2 deck chairs and an umbrella. Towels cost to hire so bring your own. Several restaurants on site nothing too pricey. Lots of locals do it must be good. Plenty of undercover parking and in the Italian summer that’s worth it. Easy to get from Ischia Porto on a regular bus service €5 for a full day bus pass!

This park is supposedly “kid friendly.” First there are no pools where young kids can walk around. One kid pool is 5 feet deep and other one is approx 4. I guess if your kids are 10+ then yes, but otherwise for younger kids, no. Poseidon is much better with pools for younger kids. There are good staff and very rude staff. My young son needed a toilet with a seat and there was one which the employee refused to open. Tl:dr: go to Poseidon if you have young kids. This park is not kid friendly and some staff are quite rude. If you want to go to the beach, just walk further to free beach and if you want t shade, there is free shade along the cliffs.

This is a beautiful resort. The spectacular beauty of the setting, the way all of the processes and the recreation areas are set up, the quality of the food & drinks, and the very nature of the wonderful thermal salt water pools are all terrific and enjoyable. It is a calm and enjoyable place, as it is spread out across many separate areas, yet easy to get around and enjoy the variety of settings and pools. There was nothing that I did not like about our visit. A total relaxing and amazing experience!

This place has a beautiful view of the ocean outside the window. The espresso is also great and the staff are very friendly and pleasant.

Great place for a walk with stunning views

Worth a visit. I recommend reading up on the history of the place online (a lot of info card are only in Italian), or you can use Google translate camera. Knowing the facts enriches the experience quite a bit.

A – path at the top of the gorge, on the roof. B – path at the bottom of the gorge, by the water.

It's a bit tricky to get to but worth it. According to legend, the Montagna Spaccata (cracked mountain) split in two at the moment of Christ's crucifixion.

A must if you are ever in Gaeta! Beautiful views and an incredible story behind it. If you are staying in Gaeta Medievale it is a worthwhile hike with amazing old ruins along the way. Make sure to take cash as it is free entry, but it is customary to leave an offering/donation.

what a place! as you follow this street down, you encounter some stairs, a path, rocks everywhere and you just going forwards to see what else is there for you to see! you find these imprints of some big hands on the wall where this Turk has opened the mountain and literally broken it as the legend says. you then encounter a little tiny church, a church maybe with 8-10 seats , so small but yet so cool to then walking up the stairs you find yourself located on top of this tiny church and you look down and all you see is blue! a blue so nice and clear but yet so deep to where it is completely incredible and a mesmerizing! completely suggest to go here to anyone if they can!!

Amazing!! Worth the drive. We had a tour guide take us. Incredible. So glad we went. Definitely a highlight in our trip. Beautiful views, tomb of St Benedict.

Beautiful architecture and beautiful views. It is always good to listen to a tour guide to know the stories and history of the abbey. How amazing as I learned more about the twin saints. I was on a group tour.

Montecassino is a truly magnificent place given its origins and its recent history when the Americans blew it to pieces barely leaving one stone on top of another. Its a must visit and its worth taking time to visit the Polish Cemetery where the 1000 men who were used as cannon fodder by the Americans are buried.

A truly beautiful and impressive place to visit. The Abbey of Montecassino has a long and extraordinary history. Founded by St. Benedict in the 6th century, destroyed multiple times over the centuries, and rebuilt after being almost completely bombed during World War II. Today it stands majestically on the hill with stunning views and elegant architecture. The church, the cloisters, and the atmosphere make the visit absolutely worth it. A place full of history and meaning.

Definite must on things to do on your bucket list. Amazing place amazing history amazing views. We were struck dumb.

Absolutely stunning. By far the prettiest church/abbey I have been to. I'd say the museum is worth it of you are into religious artefacts and such. Otherwise, you are probably better of spending those 6 Euro in the gift shop on some nice souvenir ;)

Really beautiful place. Very well restored. No cafeteria, unfortunately

Awesome location, awesome views, prices are very fair (10€ entry). However, they could’ve added more information (signs etc.) within the complex as you sometimes didn’t exactly know what which wall/building was.

Well worth the trip and a unique, mysterious place - the cave gave me the willies!

Highly recommended for those wishing to spend an hour surrounded by history going back 2000 years not to mention those spectacular views. Easy parking

The view is stunning. The archeological sites are interesting. There are a few areas that need fixing or not accessible which could be improved. The path is rough, it could be improved for people with limited access too at least to the main points.

The walk was not challenging, the ruins are worth visiting and the view from the top is spectacular.

This place is amazing, very worthwhile to come and see. The ancient ruins are fascinating and the views down onto Terracina and the ocean are stunning. Cost 7 euros to get in and worth every cent.

Rain or shine, this place finds a way to be amazing! The history and the views go forever!

What can I say??? A paradise on hearth Lago di scanno is the hidden gem of Abruzzo, a place where u never want to leave but stay as long u can I love this place, is like my second home As I live out of country, every time I’m back to Italy, this is the place I must go

Lake Scanno, the largest natural lake in Abruzzo ⚓️ Lake Scanno was formed naturally following a landslide of Mount Genzana, which blocked the course of the Tasso river, flooding the surrounding valley and giving rise to the lake 🤔 Lake Scanno is surrounded by a series of mysteries and curiosities, which make this place even more suggestive. But beware not all stories are true. 💚 First of all, there is to dispel the myth that Lake Scanno has the shape of a heart. Actually that is not the case, but from some vantage points you can see it in that form. There is a path called "The Path of the Heart", after an hour of walk from the foot of the lake it will allow you to reach the most beautiful panoramic point of the lake where I am standing at. ⛪️ Along the way you will also meet the Hermitage of San't Egidio. Too bad that it was closed when I passed by. .

Relaxing- easy parking- plenty of shade

Beautiful views!!!!!

One of the best lakes in Italy. Worth the hike to take this beautiful picture

Due to Covid, everything was closed but the lake itself is beautiful

❤Beautiful view on top,❤

AMAZING! One of a kind experience. The young man that gave us the tour spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable.

Our english guide was a blessing! We were lucky that he presented with kindness all the history and knowledge he could. The Castle was well preserved and clean..Wonderful garden, interesting story and nice/welcoming atmosphere.

The place is good, but it is too expensive. Guides are cool and they tell an interesting story about the place and the family, but it is overpriced. The issue is that the castle is private, so the price is very high and no coupon or reduction of price in general are allowed.

We had a giuded tour and it was very nice, with detailed explanations.

The castle is nice and interesting, there is an entrance fee of 12€. The issue is that the tour is available only with a guide, who speaks only Italian. Since the castle is a tourist attraction, it would be nice to have an English speaking guide.

The castle has a fascinating past, having served as an impregnable smoke-signal tower used for hundreds of years to warn Rome and central Italy of impending invasions from the south. We had a tour guide who knew the details well (though a bit stiff in her delivery). The main ediface includes the damp, tiny and windy prison cell were Pope Celestine V was imprisoned after his resignation and possibly murdered by his successor (he was 81 but too hardy and resilient for his own good, it seems). There are valuable objects inside and an impressive pensile (hanging) garden on the roof of the building. The artefacts and edifice however are poorly preserved. The rooms are chock full of objects stacked and bundled together like curios with little care for proper conservation, historical progression, lighting, or aesthetic elegance and with no visitor-oriented narrative shaping the tour itinerary. Shabby rococo and more recent kitsch items are mixed with valuable antiquities. Most rooms seem like they haven't been properly re-plastered or whitewashed since the 1980s. The library is full of badly conserved manuscripts and contains a mummified body of a child (the accompanying story is as fascinating as it is morbid). The views from the garden/roof are spectacular and the surrounding medieval town which grew around the castle is decently maintained despite severe depopulation in recent decades. Several magnificent houses are available for purchase at ridiculous prices, but would require costly restoration for the town to return to its past splendor.

How many places do you know where major personalities of their times (and of western history of the last 800 years) were held captive? This is the castle where Celestine V was in fact imprisoned after refusing his election to the papal soil. More than that, Fumone was an incredibly strategically important location that transmitted smoke signals (hence its name ‘Fumone’) to alert the Eternal city and its surrounding of invasions that regularly threatened the area. Wonderful medieval (and more ancient even) marvel, so beautiful one could decide to leave their heart here).

A very beautiful garden. However, it is only possible to see the garden on a tour, so you are always in a group, standing for long periods. I was not, personally, very interested in most of the information that was given (like the names of the people who lived in the mansion). The guide was clearly enthusiastic, and considered this to be the most beautiful garden in the world. It was lovely, but I didn’t ever manage to feel the atmosphere. It was also incredibly hot. Try to visit at a better time than August! A few seats would have been lovely (and saved the guide from constantly telling people not to sit/lean on the walls).

Giardino di Ninfa is, without exaggeration, one of the cleanest, most well-kept, and breathtakingly beautiful gardens I’ve seen—by global standards. Every corner feels curated by nature and reverence. The water sources are truly magical to witness, like something out of a dream. Be sure to get your tickets in advance and opt for the guided tour—it’s a must-see experience that lingers in the soul.

Extraordinary 1930s ''English" type natural garden created in the ruins of a medieval walled town

I just saw a surprisingly low review where someone complained about the vegetation and that it is nothing special. And while that may be true, IT IS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! My trip was several years ago but after this review I actually felt the need to chime in. I saw the garden in a TV documentary about gardening and was able to visit it years later. I find the entrance fee well worth it and I wish the tour had been longer or slower, giving me more time to take in the magic. It is so beautifully laid out between the ruins and the atmosphere is really special. And I am glad (and grateful to myself 😉) that I pre-booked two tickets so I could get in back to back. Once to take it all in and the second time to take pictures. And you know what? If I ever get the chance again to go there I will do the same. It is a wonderfully tranquil and peaceful place. Serene, really. And I can only thank the wonderful people who maintain it and am grateful that this beautiful piece of this world is open to the public.

I had high expectations for this place and unfortunately, it was not as expected Only Italian tours are available (not English) 🥀To take an amazing shot of the flowers an the scenery you'll need to go in early spring to admire them so the flowers that you observe in the pics are only in June. 🥲 It is only 1 one-hour tour and you are always with the guide guy and the group and to take nice pics they are always on your way. 🍃 I give only two starts because I was in many botanical gardens in London and I feel that they are more to see and to do compared to this place (18€ this place for one hour - £25 key gardens all day) I think that would be a better idea to have a audio tour available in English and in Italian and to let people explore in freedom. The tour guide had to wait until everyone was close to star talking and a lot of people was always behind taking pictures and they didn't care even if all of us were waiting under the burning sun 😔 👍Dog friendly 👍Toillettes available

A beautiful park, crated 100 years ago in the ruins of an ancient village . A very romantic park with ruins , river, flowers and trees. Only accessible with a guided tour, not individually. Closed over lunch . There is a cafe at the entry.

Ninfa's garden is probably one of the most beautiful and rich gardens in the world. There are a lot if plants species and it has a greatly performed maintenance. May to July is probably the best time you can visit it. It also have a well explained history and there are also many ruins, flowers, fields and rivers letting it seem like a fairy tales world

We spent a half of day in the outlet. The site we well organized and run. The stores offer various discounts some quite low prices. Almost all leading brends are here.

I went to Valmontone Outlet and honestly it was pretty underwhelming. The place is huge and well maintained and they have some nice restaurants around but the shopping part just isn’t worth it. The prices are basically the same as any regular store so it doesn’t really feel like an outlet. Most of the stores are just American brands and there are very few European ones. So if you're coming for unique European finds or big discounts this probably isn't the place. If you're just looking for a place to walk around and maybe grab something to eat it’s fine but I wouldn’t recommend it as a shopping destination.

Good outdoorsy shopping center with a variety of brands to choose from.. some are known worldwide and others are local known Italian brands. The center is served with a good number of toilets and toilets are very clean. Lots of seating and smoking areas spread out. Also there is a good playing area in addition to some few excellent restaurants. Visiting the center shows you how good the italian architecture is. My favorite part was seeing all the men carrying bags standing next to the shops and desperately waiting for their wives to get out of the shops.

Really enjoyed this short trip to Valmontone ,speicial this christmas Eve ,anniversary train meeting with Santa ,awesome decorations ,and lighting. I was really 😀 glad to shop over here and had a good experience of brands. I enjoyed mexican food and their services at Calavera. I bought many stuffs in the less offered prize ,waana visit again 😀 in future. Regards Venus Saraswat Abhineet Ojha 🇮🇳 India

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.

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

Nice

Had a lovely day today. We were very pleasantly surprised. Good sized park, which was well maintained in most areas. Some slight attention to detail around weeding around some rides would improve this slightly but that is me just being picky. Food prices were ok for a theme park. 5 of us ate for just under €70 which would be very difficult to do in a UK theme park and notably drinks were ok too, €3.50 for a coke zero and €2 for water. The main reason for 4 out of 5 was due to a few rides being out of action. We wanted to go on the rapids and were told they would reopen but unfortunately didn't or if they did we missed it. Also the sky viewing platform ride was also shut.

We visited as two adults and really enjoyed the day. The park is very clean and beautifully maintained. There are a couple of really exciting attractions - especially Shock, which will definitely not leave you indifferent. The water rides are also a lot of fun - particularly Le Rapide, the round raft ride that gives you absolutely no chance of staying dry. 😅 A perfect mix of thrills and fun, highly recommended!

I dont know why i seen so many complaints about this place saying it's expensive or staff are rude i experienced the opposite of that. They where all friendly and happy and compared to theme park prices this place was very very cheap no long waits in the lines longest wait was for the horror stuff beside that everything else was like 3mins wait or less 100% would recommend this especially for a family

We really enjoyed this park. They had awesome theming, entertainment and great rides! The park surprised us in any way possible.

I spent the day at MagicLand with friends — we had fun, especially on the roller coasters! The park is nice and clean, but the lines were pretty long and food inside was pricey. Still, it’s a great option for a weekend trip near Rome.

The place itself is great and a lot of fun. It felt safe, and both the restrooms and different areas were clean. However, the pricing is tricky. Online tickets are supposed to be cheaper, but we never received the validation code for registration, so we couldn’t complete the online purchase. We were also charged extra items with the food we ordered, which didn’t feel fair. Additionally, not all staff members spoke English, or not at a sufficient level, which made communication difficult at times.

I had an amazing time at Magic Land! The park is full of fun attractions, and everything is so well-organized. The highlight of my visit was the fantastic show at the theater—absolutely enchanting! The New Year decorations and compositions were stunning and really created a magical holiday atmosphere. This place is perfect for families and anyone looking for unforgettable entertainment. Highly recommend!

A Peaceful and Spiritual Hidden Gem! The Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict is a truly special and serene place, nestled in the mountains of Subiaco. This historic monastery, built into the rock, is where St. Benedict lived as a hermit before founding the Benedictine Order. The architecture and frescoes inside are breathtaking, with beautiful medieval paintings that tell the story of St. Benedict’s life. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the valley make this an ideal place for reflection and prayer. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the visit for those interested in history, spirituality, or simply looking for a quiet retreat away from the crowds. Highly recommended! 🙏✨🏛️

Fantastic experience. A very nice young American in the shop gave us a tour. Such a great place. So glad we made the drive from Rome.

Visit when Pilgrim Jubelium 2025, learn alot history St benedic from The Monk storytelling all history the place to Be, Very far away from big town for Tourisity,just fews Groups, Recomendation to have a Booking before visiting for Guide by the Monk, Breathtaking view,end visit at 4 so i got bright Sunshine for take a Pic

If you are looking for 1 day excursion outside of Rome, this is a perfect place! Very calm and peaceful place. Amazing Frescoes inside. Be sure to get in with the guide as they will tell you the detailed history behind this place, frescoes and every corner of this monastery. They do Italian and English guided tour. There is no entrance fee or guide fee, but be sure to leave a donation at the end of the tour :) *Due to covid you have to enter with the guide and you cannot get in to the cave and touch St.Benedict foot. There is also a lovely souvenir shop outside.

The monastery was built not any using modern technology but just by man digging against the hard rock on the mountain. A guided tour explained the real history of St. Benedict which originated from here.

Worth the visit if you're in the area. Free entry. Beautiful views and an interesting legend. Quite disturbing frescoes o_O

Worth the Journey, a hidden gem in Italy. Loved the whole experience.

Villa Adriana is a timeless labyrinth of marble, water, and shadow, where the grandeur of ancient Rome whispers through every column and arch. Wandering its vast gardens, pools, and ruins feels like walking through a dream of emperors, philosophers, and poets. Reflections shimmer on still waters, while sun-dappled paths invite contemplation and awe. Each corner reveals a fragment of a past both monumental and intimate, where history and imagination entwine. At Villa Adriana, one doesn’t merely visit a site — one steps into the poetry of an empire, suspended between stone and sky.

Amazing architect.place. Buy the water before entering the vila. It is huge and hot place. Try to imagine you were there ages ago. And watch the YouTube videos. You'll be able to imagine the historical place better and know the stories buried in this area.

Stunning small private city! Absolutely gorgeous piece of history. Lots of intact artifacts to look at. Massive structures show the opulence of this villa. The floors are stunning and intact. Beautiful walk and afternoon. Budget a good three hours minimum. Lots of photo ops here! There is a bus for 1.50€ that goes from Villa deste to here. Definitely worth the 30 minute uber from Rome. We bought our tickets online a week before.

A slice of history that takes you back 2000 years to the life of an Imperial Roman Emperor. The preservation is sensitive - no garish displays or plastic centurions. But there is a lot of information next to each structure for the interested. Plan on spending at least two hours to walk around and marvel, more to see everything including the museum.

A must-see for culture and history lovers visiting Rome. Just a short drive from Rome, Villa Adriana is an archaeological site that was conceived sometime between 118 and 138 AD s an "ideal city" for Emperor Hadrian. Strolling through 120 hectares of ancient lush gardens, tranquil pools, and the remains of over 30 magnificent buildings that blend Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences gives you a perspective into the life of a roman emperor.

My driver said he never has visitors request to go to this site. He asked if I was a history professor! I've seen the Villa in documentaries for many years, and my visit did not disappoint. The site is huge and is full of surprises. It was suggested to spend 2 hours there, but I spent 4. Go beyond the Coliseum and the Vatican and come to Villa Adriana. Uncrowded and full of history!

I loved it. Ruins are in good shape, meaning that a lot of the buildings are 50% standing. It's not just a pile of stones. The whole complex is very big, so you'll need at least 2 hours for a good visit. This place is not good for people who have difficulty moving around: the ground is very uneven, the steps in the buildings are very very high, so not good for small children or the elderly.

⛲️ Absolutely gorgeous gardens and fountains that are gravity powered! We spent a good three hours here just roaming and taking everything in. We took so many photos! The light and views are spectacular. Very serene and peaceful place. Tivoli is very beautiful too. Definitely worth the 30min uber drive from Rome. We bought our tickets online a week before.

I visited last weekend 18th Oct and would recommend coming after October 23rd only because there’s no water running through the famous cascades and pools during this period. Even so, the villa and gardens remain impressive for their architecture, perspectives and atmosphere. If possible, plan your visit between 3 and 6:00 pm, the light is softer, perfect for photos and the crowds are noticeably smaller. Despite the absence of water, the site still offers a fascinating glimpse into Renaissance grandeur and is definitely worth seeing at least once.

Beautiful grounds. I would have given 5 stars but the water was shut off for maintenance or perhaps for the season when we went in October . I looked on line the night before visiting to see if it was posted on the website which it was not. You don’t get to capture the full beauty without the fountains. Beauty to see inside ! I would suggest going when fountains are on!

Fantastic villa and gardens - a peaceful oasis. We could only imagine what it must be like when the 200 fountains are functioning! Our misfortune to visit during a 2 week maintenance window... However, still worth wandering the paths, listening to birdsong and enjoying the gardens.

I am not sure how we found the villa as a destination for our Rome trip. Probably social media video somewhere. But boy we are so happy to spend a day here. We did not spent much in the museum part, but just walking up and down the garden, going to every fountain, taking pictures. Absoltely, breathtakingly beautiful. Must see. In late October when we were visiting, the Sun is setting along the main axis of the fountains, shining and orange glow over the park. Makes it difficult to take some photos, but help is many other way.

Make sure to purchase the audio guide from the ticket office. This villa was a wonderful experience. Make sure to give yourself a couple of hours for the gardens alone. I’m not a huge garden person when visiting estates or villas, but this was stunning and we wished we had more time to explore all the paths and fountains.

Extraordinary luxurious place which is well maintained and combed. Definetely worth to visit. Connections from Rome are good and cheap, traveling time around 1 hour.

It's in the city but you don't see, hear or feel the city. Its wild, pure nature surrounding you is absolutely incredible. In summer months be prepared to take extra water as it might be a bit hot and for sure you would not want to miss all the views and the hike here. P.S. - you can find a trail here that leads you to pipes residence Castel Gandolfo it's only 18km from that park.

The bike ride took me all day as I wanted to stop off at every site along the map and see everything. So if your like me, plan for an entire day, bring lots of drinks and snacks. It’s definitely worth the trip, so much to see and do along the way. And if you make it to then end they give you a pin. It’s a long bike ride and it’s a little bumpy but lots of fun, I’ve done with people and solo. I would highly recommend taking a nice bike ride along the way. Or walk if you like but you won’t see nearly as much.

We took a tour on a golf cart. We do not usually take a tour but I highly recommend this tour because it is crowded on the road with cars, buses, bikes and pedestrians. It was nice to have someone to maneuver you efficiently around to see all the different sights along this road. This area is incredible.

First thing to know: this is more of a (free, open, no hours) national park/reserve than an actual family park, as there aren't many facilities like benches, toilets, water fountains etc. So consider this as a nature area with lots of trees, green views, paths and in some areas - also antiques and historical remains. In the Park's website you can download a detailed map of the entire area which can be useful. As mentioned, there are no cafes and restaurants in the park itself but rather closer to main/side roads - so bring you own food and drinks.

Grab a bike at the information centre. Took around 4 hours to cycle 15 miles (to the end of the park and back. Its a stunning, informative ride through history. You're following the footsteps of 2000 years of history. Highlight of this trip to Rome

Of all the places I saw in Rome, this was simply one of the most stunning. You can truly admire the results of rewilding attempts whilst in the middle of wildflowers, hares and rabbits. I rented a bicycle to see more of the park and even then could only visit a fraction of it! It's heartwarming to see families and children enjoying this green getaway from the city life. Worthy of spending an entire afternoon and maybe even a full day - I would have wanted to do just that if I had not booked for a dinner at a restaurant located at the other end of town.

I will never forget the moment when I found milky way in the cloudy night sky on Oct 12th, 2025.

Was a great site to see while on tour around the Eternal City. They recently cleaned the facade of the building so the stone is now clean and bright. Its usually very crowded for most of the day unless you come early in the morning. The guides were very nice and gave us a lot of cool information about the history of the Colosseum. Definitely a great place to see at least once while visiting Rome.

We had 8:45 tickets and arrived at 8:15. Once it opened at 8:30 the line moved very well. When buying tickets you have to purchase the additional museums or sites at that time you can't add them on, so be aware. We missed out on several areas because you can't add them to your ticket, and can't purchase them at the location. The Colosseum was not what I expected. I expected a big sand center, and it is not that. But it was interesting. The archeological site is spectacular. We spent 4.5 hours in total and if you had the additional sites it would easily be a full day. I ran out of energy at about the time we finished. Our plan is always go to the right, the right, the right, so that you don't go down a path that leads you away from other things. In this case it paid off because there was an area to the right where you follow a faux wood boardwalk and it takes you under a road and all the way to an incredible obelisk. Many of the sites we have been to have paper maps, and yes you can use your phone but a paper map would have been really helpful.

This was cool. As a tourist from outside Italy this was a cool thing to do. We did a tour and our tour guide was excellent, highly recommend. Our tour guide was called Valerio and he knew so much history, for any question you had he had an answer to. Highly recommend doing a tour. This was a neat part of history to see in Italy and very cool to see it in person.

The Roman Colosseum is truly one of the world’s wonders , absolutely beautiful and completely spectacular to see in person. The amount of ancient history that took place there is incredible, and you can really feel it as you walk around. The lines can get pretty long, especially if you’re traveling with a group, but I was traveling solo and was able to slip through pretty quickly. Definitely recommend buying tickets ahead of time if you want to go inside. That said, it’s also really easy (and free!) to explore the outside, which is just as impressive. An unforgettable experience and a must-see when in Rome. #ruins #world wonder

It's exactly what you would expect. Beautiful and historic. We went earlier in the morning. Walked right in before the crowds. Buy your tickets in advance as they do sell out. We did the arena floor tickets and were able to spend over the time inside as I wasn't too busy yet. This ticket also comes with the Palatine Hill area as well which is a huge site of historical buildings and a museum you can walk through. Well worth your time. Make sure you budget a few hours for this walk but it's definitely worth it to see.

Unforgettable — The Heart of Ancient Rome The Colosseum is one of those places that takes your breath away the moment you see it. Standing in front of this massive structure, you can’t help but imagine the gladiators, the roaring crowds, and the unbelievable history held within those stone walls. Inside, the scale is even more impressive. Walking through the arches and looking down into the arena feels surreal — like stepping into a completely different world. The guided audio or a tour is absolutely worth it; you learn so many details you’d never know just by walking around. Tip: Book your ticket in advance and go early in the morning to avoid long lines. The combined ticket with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill is an amazing deal and helps you understand the whole story of ancient Rome. This is not just another tourist attraction — it’s a masterpiece of engineering, history, and culture. If you’re in Rome, the Colosseum is an absolute must-see. Truly iconic.

Incredible place, if you imagine how it is, and how big it is. Gladiators in the past was fighting here to stay alive , and for Caesar and rich people to have fun. It's huge building around 2000 years old build in less than 50 years. Capacity was around 50 000 people , and it was possible to fullfiled it with water , how amazing ! Majestic architecture , it is "must be" to see it ! Buy ticket for ship.the line :)

An incredible site that’s packed not just with historical artefacts, but stunning views across the city, beautifully kept gardens and interesting objects and things to walk along. The views are incredible and worth the entrance fee alone. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to climb hills and stairs, but it’s totally worth it.

It has nice views and many places to explore, but the signaling is not so good so it takes a while to understand if you’ve covered the whole area. There’s not much information either so maybe it’s better to go with a tour guide.

This was my favorite attraction in Rome! It was so cool to see how the people lived so long ago and walk thru their “neighborhood “

The Palatine Hill is believed to be the cradle of Rome, likely to have been inhabited since 1000 BC. During the Roman republican period, the upper class settled in this mountain building luxurious palaces, of which at present the ruins and remnants remain. Interesting to visit to have a feel of Roman history

We got our tickets through Expedia. Our tour guide was amazing! I recommend you to get your tickets in advance. This is a must-see in Rome. Come ready to walk!

A must-visit place if you find yourself in Rome. The sheer scope of architecture and Roman history on offer here is amazing. You could easily spend a day walking around the Palatine Hill reading about its history and marvelling at the remains of an ancient world power. The Truimphal Arch and Imperial Residences were very favourites.

The site to the Palatine Hill is included in the Collouseum ticket price. You need to set aside about 2 hours to explore the whole of Palatine Hill, as there is so much to see. The views from the top are breathtaking and are quite to visit in the afternoon with less crowds.

It's a plaza surrounded by ancient ruins of official government buildings. It was the main marketplace. It's definitely worth visiting if you are seeing colosseum. I came to know about it when we booked our colosseum tour as a package. It's a fascinating place with full of history, but lacks maps and information board. Do allow few hours to walk as it's a massive place plus some places it's bit hilly. Near the exit there is a cafe which is a bonus point.

Huge Place, where you can imagine how people lived 2000 years ago, how buildings were huge and how incredible was architecture in that times. Beautiful place with full of history. In the past area was split and dedicated to more Ceasars, like Nervo, Augustus, etc . You have to see it , it's great place to get history into mind :) Tickets you can buy together with colloseum.

Formerly the center of public life in ancient Rome. I went here as part of my coliseum tour. Not as much grandeur of the coliseum, of course, but it was fascinating to walk through the old heart of the Eternal City, not to mention the ruins of Octavian/Augustus' palace.

It is quite a big area with a lot of ruins and nice statues. I think we can only enter the area once with the ticket; if we leave, we can't come back. Remember to watch the place where Caesar is buried.

Amazing to see. Could easily spend all day there. We entered by "Via dei Fori Imperiali" which was a lot quieter than the entrance by the colosseum. Toilets dotted around and we found 1 cafe by our entrance. Really worth seeing.

What a place! We bought the combined ticket with the Colosseo entrance. Visited the Colosseo at 9 am and by 10:15 we were at the Forum, thankfully, because when we left at around 1pm, the line was so big that it went around the other street. The place is huge and you can easily get "lost"or not see some interesting parts. Tip: download some map so that you can undertand where you are at the moment. Very impressive and i left with my heart full!

This was the most amazing experience - we went with a tour guide so didn’t have to wait to get in, the queue was pretty long so would recommend - I would also recommend a tour so you actually get to know what is what - our guide was very Informative, but didn’t go on and on and make it boring - it was absolutely fascinating to learn the history and see what it used to be like from pictures she showed us and what is still present today. Such a great time - would love to return and spend more time here as we only had about 1hr in here - you could easily spend 1/2 -1 day here depending on the level of your interest - highly recommend!

One of the most beautiful things and place what I've ever seen in my life . This place is majestic, phenomenal and unforgettable. Statues and size of the "Fontana di Trevi" is breathtaking and unexpectable. Architecture , all Statues have a lot of small details and finally together is one Masterpiece!! Everybody have to see it minimally once per life ! Amazing , amazing, amazing

The Trevi Fountain absolutely exceeded my expectations. Its sheer size and detail are breathtaking, especially with the sound of rushing water echoing around the square. I joined everyone in tossing a coin for luck, it’s impossible not to. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere feels magical and unmistakably Roman.

Yes, it's beautiful, but unfortunately the chaos surrounding this place makes it much less attractive. There's so many people (like almost everywhere), it's impossible to relax and enjoy this beauty. The experience is more like: quick, let's try to make a picture and leave. While in Rome I went there several times and during several periods of the day and it was always packed. I even check the webcams once at 2am and there were still people there!

Absolutely beautiful, and obviously VERY busy hot-spot for tourists! The only thing that ruins it is rude, entitled influencer/ tourists that block the visit/ view for everyone else, selfishly taking photos and selfies for over 20 minutes. However, this doesn't detract from the stunning monument and it's attraction for Rome! You can queue (average 1-1.5 hours) to get closer to the fountain if you have time.

The fountain is really beautiful. We came in the evening on a rainy day, and luckily there were not that many people. They seemed to allow people to get closer to the fountain in the lower floor every now and then. We didn’t wait for it since the view from the ground floor was already good enough.

A dream come true! We went during the day and returned at night to enjoy one of the most magnificent fountains in Rome! Wonderful family experience while touring Itay! This was one of the highlights we were looking forward to and superseded our expectations!

The Trevi Fountain is a stunning, must-see landmark in Rome, celebrated for its magnificent Baroque design and intricate sculptures. However, its popularity means it is almost always crowded, making it difficult to get close during peak hours. Visitors recommend tossing a coin to ensure a return to Rome, but suggest visiting very early in the morning or late at night to enjoy the fountain's grandeur with fewer people.

I visited the Spanish Steps and really enjoyed exploring the area around them. The atmosphere was lively and full of energy, with people sitting on the steps, taking photos, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The view from the top is amazing, and the nearby streets are filled with elegant shops, cafés, and historical buildings. It’s one of those iconic spots in Rome where you can just sit, relax, and take in the charm of the city. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited the Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna, and it's every bit as iconic as you'd imagine. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, though it was a little crowded when we were there, which is to be expected at such a famous spot. The view from the top of the steps, looking down over the piazza and the rooftops of Rome, is absolutely stunning. At the bottom, the Fontana della Barcaccia is a beautiful and unique centerpiece. It was lovely to see people gathered around the "sinking boat" sculpture to take photos. Despite the crowds, it's one of those essential Roman experiences. Finding a spot on the steps to sit and take in the scene is a moment you won't forget. Just be prepared to share it with plenty of other admirers.

We visited the Spanish Steps at night, and it was very nice. The area was calm and not very crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The steps were beautifully lit, creating a peaceful and romantic atmosphere far from the busy daytime scenes. It was the perfect time to take a quiet stroll, sit for a while, and admire the stunning architecture of the Trinità dei Monti church above and the charming Piazza di Spagna below. The view of the city lights in the distance added to the charm. I quickly realized how out of shape I was however. This is quite the climb. Everything was amazing however I ranked at a four because realistically its steps, there are a lot of amazing attractions and incredible architecture throughout the city. If you're in Rome, I do highly recommend visiting the Spanish Steps after dark—you get to enjoy one of the city's most iconic spots in a much more relaxed and intimate setting.

Magnificent piece of architecture. It has a great view from behind the pond. Try to go early in the day (before 7am) and you will find perfect views for pictures and to appreciate the beauty. Tourists necessarily sitting on the stairs just spoil the view. Dear tourists, once you have seen the view, please step aside and let others view and enjoy as well. On any time it is crowded but still manageable.

So many movie shooting happened here, so when we reached the place, we were super excited. The staircase is wise and there were a huge crowd. But some police officers were there to maintain the crowd in a peaceful manner. You can visit the steps from either bottom or from the top as there are road on each side. We entered from the bottom and climbed all the way to the top. Took tons of photos like the other tourists. At the very top there is a church and some flower shops nearby. There are some seating option at the top so you can take some rest as well, in case you are exhausted. Over all very nice and iconic place to spend some quality time. Highly recommended to visit. Specially during sunset.

I am amazed with the beauty of the place. People are chilling on the stairs. The Spanish Steps or Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti in Italian are more than just a magnificent staircase; they are an iconic symbol of Roman glamour, a masterpiece of Baroque urban design, and a vibrant cultural hub that has captivated artists, poets, and travelers for centuries. Connecting the bustling Piazza di Spagna at the base with the Trinità dei Monti church perched majestically at the top, this monumental cascade of travertine stone offers a quintessential Roman experience❤️🫰💯

Very nice area of Rome, but even in November thousands and thousands of tourist minute by minute . Architecture of area is incredible nice , unforgettable moments. One of the place you have to see , if you are in Rome , but my advice is go early and near to the place is Fontana di Trevi so as earlier you go the better.

Cascata delle Marmore is a breathtaking mix of natural power and Roman engineering. The roaring falls, scenic trails, and magical mist make it unforgettable. A must-see for nature lovers and travelers alike

exceptional experience that deserves a bit of outside advertising, we got to know about it from a local friends. easy to get to, spectacular views and a bit of a workout to return :-) the butterfly house worth seeing, too!

So beautiful!! Unfortunately we came a bit late, at 15:30, 30 minutes before the falls are shut down for the day. It’s nice to stroll through the park regardless. But the park was closed entirely by 17:00, so I would advise to plan the visit time better than we did.

It is just beautiful,. We set parking for 1.5h , but we sure did needed more. Got to the first 3 spots there, all the way down. Luckily we packed some snacks and fruits 😋 bc there is a lovely view point right in front of the waterfall.

Absolutely breathtaking and worth the trip. There are paths that make it fairly easy to walk up to view the various falls (you will get wet!). The temperature drops ten degrees when you reach the parking lot, which is an incredible treat in summer. Be sure to stay to see the falls turn off at 1pm or back on again at 3. Plenty of parking. The bus terminal is a little tricky to find in Terni. It’s not the main Terni station but is around the corner to the left after you walk out the front entrance of the station. There’s a dedicated shuttle just for the falls, but pay attention to times, or you’ll end up needing a taxi to get back to Terni (speaking from experience!).

Pretty impressive place it is better to come on the schedule and to climb up to see all the place it is like a small iguasu

The tallest artificial watetfall in the world! A beautiful, unconventional place – created by human intervention, yet so natural. It's worth devoting more time to exploring and hiking the entire trail, rather than just admiring the views from the upper terrace.
