Marmore Falls

Mentioned on

Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Marmore Falls, also known as Cascata dell Marmore, is a remarkable ancient sight consisting of three sections and standing as the tallest man-made waterfall in the world at an impressive 165 meters. Built by the Romans in 271 BC, it was created by diverting the waters of the Velino River to drain the marshy basin of Rieti. This engineering marvel provided arable land for legionnaires after their service.
Very nice experience, with different routes available and different levels of difficulty so anyone can enjoy a good view of the falls.

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
Jan S — Google review
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!
Tom C — Google review
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.
Sheli A — Google review
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.
Gilad Y — Google review
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
Uri E — Google review
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.

Spanish Steps

Mentioned on

Monument
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Spanish Steps, also known as Scalinata della Trinita dei Monti in Italian, is a stunning 18th-century stairway located in Rome. With its unique butterfly-shaped design and 138 steps, it is a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture. The steps lead to the Church of Trinita dei Monti and overlook the Piazza di Spagna, where the famous Barcaccia fountain is located.
As one of Rome's most famous attractions, it's recommended to arrive in the morning. The blue sky and white clouds make for excellent photos. However, due to the large number of tourists, it's best to arrive at 9:00 at the latest. This way, you can get a photo without too many tourists. The entire attraction is not very large. Looking up, you will see the church, and below you will see the famous shopping street. You can easily spend a morning here.
Zen C — Google review
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.
Saeed B — Google review
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.
Khalid A — Google review
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.
David — Google review
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.
Adeel M — Google review
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.
Sankha G — Google review
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❤️🫰💯
Diksha V — Google review
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.

Pantheon

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Pantheon, a temple built in 118-125 A.D., is one of Rome's most iconic and well-preserved ancient Roman monuments. Originally dedicated to all deities, it now serves as a Catholic church. The structure features a dome and Renaissance tombs, including that of Raphael. Visitors are often impressed by its peculiar design, myths, and stories related to the hole in its roof and special astronomical light effects.
An amazing structure from early Roman days. Such a well preserved artefact in the heart of Rome. Although it is very busy and touristy around the pantheon most days, we would still recommend everyone to make time during their stay in Rome and visit this incredible site. The structure is truly phenomenal with such incredible detail. That it has survived for so many years is a true testament to the architecture and the build of this incredible and fascinating structure. Lineups can be long to get inside but well worth the wait. There are several wonderful little cafés in the area where you can sit and enjoy a coffee or even a beer or wine while you admire The Pantheon while enjoying a drink or a snack. We would highly recommend The Pantheon to be a part of your visit in Rome. Paul and Andrea Canada 🇨🇦
Paul M — Google review
One of the most unique underrated structures in the entire world. Unreinforced concrete dome that is near perfect sphere. No documentary does this place any justice. You must see it in person and experience the grandeur of standing inside and seeing it firsthand. Worth every cent and the time taking in the moment. I am still in awe that I visited it and spent some time inside, I will never forget my trip to Rome because of this amazing structure.

An interesting experience. The structure and its interior are impressive. We bought the tickets as an add-on to our reservation through Booking.com. The place looks beautiful both at night and during the day. I recommend it.

The Pantheon truly impressed me. Stepping inside and seeing the oculus lighting the interior felt surreal. The building is incredibly well-preserved and beautifully balanced. Even with the crowds, it felt peaceful. Entry now costs 5 euros, but the experience is absolutely worth it. One of Rome’s most unforgettable landmarks.
Juan T — Google review
The Pantheon is absolutely breathtaking. Standing inside this perfectly preserved ancient temple feels like stepping back in time — the scale, the symmetry, and especially the oculus are truly awe-inspiring. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere remains powerful and serene. It’s one of Rome’s most impressive landmarks and an absolute must-see. A masterpiece of history and architecture!
K E — Google review
A must visit when in Rome. An architectural masterpiece. Being incredibly well maintained, One is able to see the Pantheon as the Roman’s would have seen it in their time. Pictures don’t do it justice. I would recommend getting their early morning 9am so you beat the crowds. The audio guide (most languages) is available once you are inside. At 10 euro it is fantastic value as it gives a great understanding of all things about the Pantheon. Entry is quite cheap too, you can cover it all in an hour!
Leo P — Google review
The Pantheon is an absolute masterpiece,breathtaking in every sense. The moment you step inside and look up at that majestic dome with the open oculus, you’re left in pure awe. It’s incredible to think that this structure has stood strong for nearly 2,000 years! The harmony of light, space, and symmetry is simply magical. Whether you love history, architecture, or just beauty itself — the Pantheon is a must-visit. Truly one of the most inspiring places on Earth.
Supreme B — Google review
I was passing by and saw this place, the Pantheon, which is quite a sight! 🏛️ It was a bit crowded for my taste, making it hard to move around, but the historical architecture is certainly impressive. ✨ If you don't mind the bustling atmosphere, it's worth a look. 😉 I appreciated the grandeur of the building. 🤩

Trevi Fountain

Mentioned on 
+279 other lists 
Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
Trevi Fountain is a stunning rococo fountain in Rome, designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762. The fountain features sculpted figures and is fed by an aqueduct. Its dramatic design includes an imperious sculpture of Oceanus commanding rushing waters. The location of the fountain adds to its unique drama, as it is squeezed into the confluence of three streets, which may have inspired its name 'Trevi' from 'tre vie.'
Absolutely Magical — A Roman Must-See The Trevi Fountain is every bit as stunning as people say—maybe even more. The moment you turn the corner and see it, the whole scene feels like a movie. The sound of the water, the incredible sculptures, the glow of the marble… it’s pure Roman magic. Yes, it gets crowded, but the atmosphere is part of the charm. Everyone is excited, tossing coins and making little wishes. I threw my coin in too—because who doesn’t want to come back to Rome? If you want the best experience, visit early in the morning or late at night. In the evening, the fountain lights make it look even more beautiful, and the crowds are calmer. Perfect for photos and just taking in the moment. Whether you’re in Rome for a day or a week, the Trevi Fountain is a must. It’s one of those places that reminds you why people fall in love with this city.

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
Jakub A — Google review
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.
Juan T — Google review
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!
Sidónio S — Google review
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.
Claireabella C — Google review
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.
Y.C. W — Google review
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!
Rolando G — Google review
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.

Roman Forum

Mentioned on 
+235 other lists 
Open air museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Roman Forum is a sprawling archaeological site in Rome, featuring ancient temples, squares, and government buildings dating back 2,000 years. It's more of an open-air museum than a conventional one and is a must-visit for first-time visitors to Rome. Despite the crowds and the need to use your imagination due to the ruins, it offers a glimpse into the glory of the ancient empire.
We went to the Roman forum around 10am to spend a few hours before our timed colosseum tickets. We entered at the top of a big hill so there was no wait. There are many entrances so I doubt anyone would have to wait too long. The space was so large and there were few maps so I kept worrying I was missing important things. It’s easy to get lost and forget what you’ve seen but after exploring for about 3 hours, the map on our way out showed we happened to do it all anyway! We skipped going into the museums inside just due to stamina, as you could be there ALL day and not see it all. There were many water ‘fountains’ around which was nice and bathrooms seemed easily accessible. Lots of cool things to see. We had the “full experience” ticket which I would recommend to anyone because within the forum there were several spots where only those with “full experience” tickets could access. I believe you can get tickets that allow access to one specific extra area but id skip the stress and get the full experience ticket. Less confusing that way as well. The photo with the large stair case was where we climbed up and entered not long after that.
Breanna J — Google review
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.
Prashant S — Google review
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.
Jordan B — Google review
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.
Pasindu R — Google review
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.
Harriet J — Google review
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!
Sidónio S — Google review
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!

Palatine Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is a legendary site steeped in history and mythology. It was once home to Roman Imperial palaces, temples, and baths and served as the center of political and administrative life in ancient Rome. According to legend, it was also the birthplace of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome who were raised by a she-wolf.
The interior was absolutely breathtaking and incredibly peaceful. Wandering through the layers of history at Palatine Hill was a truly priceless experience.

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.
Luke B — Google review
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.

Colosseum

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is a monumental 3-tiered Roman amphitheater located in the center of Rome. It has stood for over 2,000 years as a symbol of Ancient Rome's architectural ingenuity and engineering advancements. This iconic structure entertained more than 50,000 spectators with gladiatorial fights, mock sea battles, and exotic animal hunts for over 400 years.
It's definitely one of the must see place. It truly stands it's popularity and what a architectural masterpiece. I would definitely recommend buying tickets in advance or best way to do is via tour guide. You would need a photo ID to enter whether you are going by yourself or through tour guide. We enjoyed the entire experience and learning about how gladiators used to use this place. Untill I visited the place I never knew it's complexity and vastness. We travelled as a family with a child. We were told not to take pram as pathways are not smooth, but it's manageable. I would definitely recommend this place.

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 :)

Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica

Mentioned on 
10 lists 
Park
Nature & Parks
Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica is a historic park that stretches along 16 km of the ancient Roman road. It offers a glimpse into the past with well-preserved tombs and villas. This pathway, once crucial to Rome's military and economic activities, provides an opportunity to immerse in the city's history while surrounded by picturesque natural landscapes. Visitors can explore catacombs, ancient villas, and various historical sites along this iconic route.
Great for a break from the city bustle. It's quaint, it's almost rural, and definitely has the "antique" vibe. If one has time and resources, there are some museum&sights that can be visited along the Parc, but even without visits to those, the road itself is a beautiful place.

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.
Pong L — Google review
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.
Debbie H — Google review
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
Ashley M — Google review
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.

Hadrian's Villa, located in Tivoli near Rome, is an extensive excavation site and museum that showcases the remains of a Roman villa built between 118 and 134 AD for Emperor Hadrian. The villa covers at least 120 hectares and features numerous buildings carefully arranged amidst lush gardens. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Roman countryside while exploring this historical site.
Exceptional, you will spend about 2.5 hours just to get around the site, if you want to stop and read all the boards plan for a bit longer, honestly it's a beautiful place with lots of wow moments standing and admiring the old structures, anyone coming to Italy should stop by here, we walked about 5k and stopped at every point of interest. We arrived quite early, about 9:30 am and there was no queue at all, we parked got tickets and went straight in, it got a little busier by around 12 but I would still consider it very quiet for an attraction. Ticket prices are also very very fair for the experience, £3 to park in the carpark.

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.

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.
Patrick C — Google review
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!
Gregg O — Google review
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.

Villa d'Este

Mentioned on

$$$$very expensive
National museum
Villa d'Este is a 16th-century cardinal's villa located in Tivoli, a popular day trip from Rome. The town has historical significance as a residential and resort area for wealthy ancient Romans, popes, and cardinals. The villa was built by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este at the foot of Monti Tiburtini and is known for its elaborate hillside gardens with fountains and grottoes.
Villa d’Este is a must see in Tivoli. It is a wonderful place to visit, tranquil and beauty is around every corner. It is not somewhere to rush around but to relax and enjoy. There are so many fountains and pools to see, not to mention the stunning trees, planting and stunning views. Well worth the €10 entry.

⛲️ 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!
Michelle H — Google review
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.

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!

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 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.

The center is served with a good number of toilets and toilets are very clean. Lots of seating and smoking areas spread out.

The Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict is a captivating medieval monastery nestled into a rocky cliffside, renowned for its stunning frescoes and rich history. This sacred site is believed to be where St. Benedict dedicated three years to meditation and prayer, making it a significant pilgrimage destination in Subiaco. Visitors can easily access the entrance by car, followed by a short 100-meter walk that leads you right into this enchanting space.
This is sofar the most amazing place we have explored . Very fascinating when you get up to the Abbey and awesome views. The interior has 800 year old frescos that are very beautiful. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area. It's free to get in,I would go early like around 10 in the morning since they do seem to do some masses closer to lunch time and it's slower to get in and thru the Abbey. Plus lees people and easier parking at that time.

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! 🙏✨🏛️

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.

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.

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

History Museums
Piana delle Orme is a vast outdoor museum that covers an extensive area and features a diverse collection of WWII military vehicles, dioramas, and exhibits related to the Pontine marshes. Visitors can explore numerous buildings filled with unique artifacts such as uniforms, guns, and aircraft. The museum also boasts a large gift shop offering a variety of antiques from World War II and the 20th century at affordable prices.
Great place, I sincerely love this museum, and my kid loves it as well. We stayed all day, as there's a lot to see. I'd say it's a must go as a family trip. On the other side there's also a barbecue area which is really nice as well, although it might get crowded at times.

The Old Agriculture and WWII Machinery Museum is a hidden gem that beautifully preserves two fascinating parts of history. The collection is impressive — from vintage farming equipment and early tractors to military vehicles and wartime machinery. Each exhibit offers a glimpse into the ingenuity and hard work of past generations, both on the farm and in the field. What truly stood out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly helpful. If you’re interested in agricultural history, military technology, or simply love seeing well-preserved pieces of the past, this museum is absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommended!
Norbert F — Google review
We only had 90 minutes here and made it through the Monte Cassino and Anzio exhibits and could have spent many more hours and this unique museum. We appreciated the sound effects and the amazing backdrops that were painted to help bring the equipment to life. The boards about the war were posted in Italian with some in English, but the impressive array of vehicles and equipment from WWII were amazing. We saw several things like the wire crews that we had not seen their equipment before. The document boards told the story from the author's Italian perspective, might not be the general background that you have learned. The museum closes at 3pm. We didn't get a chance to go to the store, it closed ahead of 3pm. If you have a car, we would recommend taking a drive to rhe countryside and visiting this little historic gem.

An incredible WWII Museum - the largest of its kind in Europe. They have dozens of vehicle - most (if not all) of them operational - that tell the story of Italy’s entrance into the war up to the end. They also have a excellent area that speaks to the reclamation of the local region. Annarita was an exceptional tour guide who speaks perfect English and thank you to Luciana for being such a wonderful host and her team who maintains all the vehicles and equipment.

Museum does a wonderful job celebrating mostly local history in an experiential way. If you know that going in, it’s a great stop. Curators do not seek to impart any broad narratives or deep dive on historical nuggets through detailed descriptions. It's not the traditional, “Here’s a big story, and to tell that story here’s artifacts under glass with captions.” That’s the curatorial choice, and it’s executed with much love and competence. Consistent English would be greatly appreciated to make more welcoming to foreigners. All of the aircraft and most military vehicles lack English on the placards. In exhibitions for toys, tractors, and other large presentations, there is no English at all. Easy fix! Well worth the stop.

One of the largest collection of antiques from the 1920's onwards, including the historical reconstruction of the most significant events: the drainage of the swamps, the life back when mosquitoes and malaria ruled, the foundation of Aprilia and Latina, the world war II, the deportation of Jews. Everything perfectly organised and preserved.

Castello di Fumone

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Castello di Fumone, a medieval fortress with a rich and captivating history, has always been a significant and characteristic building of the area. Once serving strategic and military purposes, it is now owned by two Marquises who have opened it to the public. This castle was where Celestine V was imprisoned after refusing his election to the papacy. Additionally, Fumone played a crucial role in transmitting smoke signals to alert Rome and its surroundings of potential invasions.
Fumone is a hidden gem. This little town is over a thousand years old with a lot of history, but literally no tourists there. There are only around 40 people still living there. Visit while you still can.

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.

Mihaela P — Google review
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).

Lago di Scanno, a heart-shaped lake nestled amidst the Apennine mountains, offers a picturesque setting for various outdoor activities such as swimming, biking, and pedal boating. The surrounding area is home to the charming village of Scanno, known for its narrow alleyways and traditional gold jewelry craftsmanship. Visitors can explore stone-cobbled streets lined with house museums and Renaissance churches. Additionally, there are marked biking and hiking trails in nearby centers like Pescasseroli and Opi.
Very beautiful lake that is about 120 km away from. The lake offers a lot and satisfys all tastes. You can lay back and enjoy nature, try their trails, swim in the lake, or just do pedaling in the lake. The part we sat in was mainly occupied by locals, which even made it more fun and exposed to the simplicity of life locals live. There are a few cafes & restaurants here and there but with not many options and unfortunately dine in restaurants open only at a few designated hours. It was worth the visit.

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. .

Archaeological museum

Ancient Ruins
Perched atop Mount Saint Angelo in Italy's Lazio region, the Temple of Jupiter Anxur is a first-century BC structure dedicated to the god Jupiter as a boy and young man. The ancient Romans referred to Terracina as it is, while the Volscians called it Anxur. From the Town Hall Square, visitors can admire this temple along with stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
It's a great place to visit. The ruins are not just the temple but also a Benedictine Monastery that came up at the location in later years. There's fresh excavation in progress. So in a few years we could have new details of the history of the place.

The Abbey of Montecassino, founded in 529 by St. Benedict of Norcia, is a significant religious site located on a mountaintop. It features an elaborate cathedral and a Renaissance cloister offering stunning views. The abbey has faced destruction multiple times, with the most recent being in 1944 when it was bombed and burned to the ground.
Beautiful Abbey. The parking is only 3€ and then if you want you can add the tour guide (don't know the prices). We just had a look around ourselves as the entrance is free Really a lot to see (including their shop with products made with herbs). I think a proper tour would take 2 hours at least.

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.

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.

Il Monastero is a unique hotel located within the Castello Aragonese on a small island off the coast of Ischia. It was originally a 16th-century convent and has been transformed into a rustic hotel with simple accommodations, offering stunning panoramic views of the island. The terracotta floors and handcrafted decor by local artisans provide an authentic and warm atmosphere.
Almost don’t want to sing its praises too much in case prices rise and it becomes too in demand! A unique, wonderful and stylish hotel. The terrace has amazing views, the rooms are simple but comfortable, the staff are lovely and it was spotlessly clean. Not suitable for anyone unable to climb stairs or who would want a pool. We will be coming again next year for sure

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.

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.

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.

Royal Palace of Caserta

Mentioned on 
+67 other lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Italy, the Royal Palace of Caserta stands as a magnificent testament to Baroque architecture and opulence. This sprawling palace, surrounded by lush gardens adorned with stunning fountains, was commissioned by Charles III of Bourbon as a rival to Versailles. Since its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, visitors have been captivated by its nearly 1,200 rooms filled with exquisite furnishings and breathtaking frescoes.
Amazing and impressive place; staggering the scale of it and how long it took to build, but not at all surprising when you see it. An absolute must to visit, it is the only way it can be truly appreciated. Over 1,200 rooms and about 40 metres tall! The gardens are absolutely huge and equally impressive, I recommend the minibus if you don't have so much time because you can easily spend a whole day walking around the entire property, but you do then miss out on the length of the run to the garden, especially you like taking pictures. Given the number of rooms, there's clearly a lot to see inside. Both areas contain a huge amount of creative items to see, like statues (mostly in the gardens) and paintings and other fixtures.
Stephen P — Google review
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.
Marian G — Google review
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...).

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!!!

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

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli is housed in a 17th-century palace and features prehistoric artifacts, coins, and ancient works of art. Conveniently located in the heart of the historic center, it offers a captivating journey through Italian art history with pieces from renowned international artists. The museum's vast collection includes Roman and Greek artifacts, many unearthed at Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The museum is a beautiful building and worthy of a visit itself. A must visit if you have been to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We queued about 20 minutes so during peak times I would recommend buying tickets online beforehand. Entrance fee is 20€ and worth the money. There is so much to see so allow at least three hours for your visit. All statues and artefacts are beautifully displayed as you meander around the museum from hall to hall. The inner courtyards are also inviting for a little rest. There is a cafe and bookshop onsite as well.
Gillian M — Google review
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.
Drew Y — Google review
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.

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.

Sansevero Chapel Museum

Mentioned on

Art museum
Museums
Sansevero Chapel Museum, located in the heart of Naples, is a hidden gem that might be easily overlooked. Originally built in the 17th century and later remodeled by Prince Raimondo di Sangro in the 18th century, it houses a collection of remarkable sculptures created by renowned artists. The chapel features unique Baroque-style architecture and is home to mysterious and symbolic sculptures, including a veiled Christ made from marble.
impressive... looks surreal... can't belive my eyes it's a whole piece of marble. Last time we were in Naples couldn't get in- worth ordering the tickets beforehand. PS: still can't understand why taking pics is strictly forbidden- one can't remember it all, taking pics, zooming in and studying is a way to extand uour stay long after you're gone. So, here you can see the brand of jewelry that's sold in the shop- not sure it is silver, although they assured me it is- no marks on the btacelet I bought there}
Ani B — Google review
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!!
Charlotte N — Google review
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!!
Jan A — Google review
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.
Tünde P — Google review
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.
Jordi P — Google review
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!
Angie D — Google review
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.

Underground Naples

Mentioned on

Archaeological museum
Sights & Landmarks
Discover the hidden world of Underground Naples, a vast network of ancient tunnels and chambers that lie beneath the modern streets of the city. This underground city spans over 40 miles and dates back to ancient Greek times when it was used for stone extraction. Over the centuries, it was expanded by Romans and Bourbons for various purposes including as an aqueduct. Visitors can explore this mystical place, descending about 40 meters below street level to witness remnants of the Greek-Roman theatre and other historical sites.
Very cool experience - 45 meters underground and full of history from ancient times to WW2. The tour also includes a short tour of a hidden playhouse that is neat. Definitely buy tickets online & in advance to skip the line. In regard to others' claustrophobia warnings - the part that is very bad (12 inches wide & 4 ish inches tall at some points) can be skipped so you can still enjoy the tour.
Andrew C — Google review
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.
Rob — Google review
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.
Nabil N — Google review
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.
Bas S — Google review
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".....
Sidónio S — Google review
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.
R S — Google review
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 Arch of Trajan, a Roman gateway constructed in 114 A.D. to honor Emperor Trajan, is a well-preserved landmark in Benevento. The city's historical significance is evident through its ecclesiastical dominion and unique cultural identity shaped by the church's power. Visitors can explore other preserved monuments like the Roman Theatre and the Castle while enjoying natural landscapes such as Matese Regional Park and Taburno-Camposauro Nature Reserve.
A very historic arch that has stood for decades; nearly 2000 years. Benevento is a unique town fettered with history. Most attractions are within walking distance. This arch is not to be missed. You can find out more about the arch by visiting old church ruins/building just down the road (Monumental complex of Saint’llario a Port’Aurea.

A sanctuary on the top of the mountain. That's the Italian way of building churches. Created around 1200's-1500's this is the most beautiful place to pray and contemplate the beauty of the nature,fresh air, and a magnificent landscape view of cities such us Mercogliano, summomte and Avellino.
