Piana delle Orme is an open-air museum that showcases military vehicles, dioramas, and exhibits about the Pontine marshes. The cost for an adult ticket is reasonable considering the extensive collection of over 1000 vehicles from WWII and newer models of boats and aircraft. In addition to this, there are many tractors displayed in the agriculture section. The exhibition halls are well-designed with excellent motion-activated machinery and lighting that adds to the overall experience.
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.
Alessandro Magnosi — Google review
This has been one of my favourite museum visits. It costs €13 for adult ticket but the scale of the place is amazing. A ticket would still be worth it if cost more. The grounds are beautiful and the exhibition halls very well done. Really good motion activated machinery and lighting (made me jump more than once). There must be over 1000 vehicles there from WW2 and also some newer boats and aircraft. On the agriculture part never seen so many tractors. I would rate this place more than 5 stars. It might say it closes at 2pm but that is the last entry time. I would put by 3hrs if dont want to read everything but if want to read the whole stories it will take all day

Amazing collection of agricultural and military machines. The creators made a huge effort with the arranged situation, thanks to which the machines literally come to life.

Great exhibit with lively displays. Calculate at least with half a day, because the museum is vast. I particularly liked the night displays with uv paint, such a clever idea.

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.

A huge museum that can cover half of Ottawa in its area alone. I spent an hour here, and could only speed through two buildings and the gift shop before I had to leave. There was a large amount of unique vehicles and other artifacts on display, including uniforms, guns, and aircraft. In the gift shop, there was a large amount of antiques from World War II and the 20th century for purchase at very low prices. It is not very busy on weekdays, aside from the odd tour group or school field trip. I'd love to take another visit here.

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.
John Tomassi — Google review
This place is amazing! Not only is it a great WWII museum, but the presentation of the dioramas and equipment was great. The museum is the history of Italy,not just WWII. We have been here 2 times and have yet to see the agricultural side! Just too big and so much to discover. We will be back again. Italy has a true hidden treasure here.
J G Gordon — Google review
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.
Steve Kleiman — Google review
This museum is a hidden gem. It covers the founding of the surrounding area through WWII. It's bigger than it looks so allow at least half a day. The level of detail in the recreations is stupendous. I would love to go back through again. All signage is in Italian, English, and German.

Swimming, biking & pedal boating are popular activities at this heart-shaped lake with scenic views.
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.

Few places to bath in but all in all is a beautiful and outstanding lake surrounded by the mountains.
Water was not that cold and it was possible to get some relief during the hot day in July.
There is a camping area and bars and shops to buy beverages, ice cream and usual cheap souvenirs.
Trekking and biking path surrounding the lake and renting bike shops.
Really worth for a visit both the lake and the town.

Garden created in the ruins of a medieval city by the Caetani family, open to visit by guided tour.
Magical place; streams, ruins of an ancient city and over a thousand different floral species; absolutely beautiful.
the Gardens are 6km from the medieval village of “Sermoneta” giving me the opportunity to visit them in a one-day trip.
Roya Sh. — Google review
Really nice experience not far away from Rome, compared to other botanical gardens this one shine on how all the species are conserved on nature without the help of technology. Particularly nice even the medieval town ruins around the area, suggested to go during spring to see all the flowers blooming
Paolo Marcoccia — Google review
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 😔

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.

Beautiful place to see, not a formal garden but more natural with lots of cool trees,bushes and flowers as well as a small river flowing thru it . The ruins are very nice and some buildings are complete and in good shape.
Harald Harms — Google review
I’m a gardener and love to visit gardens. Ninfa was for me the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, and it was a top priority to see when I was in Italy this month. As others have said, get tickets in advance. I’d read the tour was only 40 minutes, but it was in fact 75 minutes. They started late, so we had to rush through because we had a train to catch but the staff kindly helped us see everything quickly. The guides were excellent. There is no building where you can go in and get shelter if it rains. There’s the ticket stand and refreshments where you are outside. But there are good bathrooms. Plan your transportation to and from the garden. We took a train from Rome to Latina but it took almost an hour in Latina to get a taxi and I had to call the taxi company myself (good I speak some Italian)—totally unexpected. We just barely made our tour. I suggest you get a tour from Rome, hire a driver, or drive there yourself to ensure arriving on time.

An amazing place to visit. Caught the train From Rome Termini to Latina and then a taxi to Ninfa. Our guide (English) Ilaria was amazing at bringing the garden to life, talking through the history and how the garden came to be. These gardens were a top 3 bucket list for me and it lived up to the expectation. Would highly recommend making the effort to see them if you travel to Italy especially in Spring time, you won't be disappointed!

Via Ninfina, 68, 04012 Cisterna di Latina LT, Italy
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).

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.
Mihaela Prună — Google review
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.
F. D. — 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.

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

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

This was my second visit and it was just because my partner has never been in such place. To be honest we had fun like little kids and he wanted to stay there all day! I paid for lunch online too, it was really convenient!
Be aware that some restaurants are not open non stop so have lunch and don't leave it for 4pm like us!

It's great, great rides, lots of cafes and kiosks with all sorts of snacks. We took the shuttlebus from Valmontone station. Everything is clear. You can also buy tickets for it from the driver.
I would recommend adding maps of the location of the rides around the park with the location point at the moment. The only disappointing thing was the lack of a Winx area, which we really wanted to visit. 😢
Zoomarine is a modern amusement park that offers a variety of entertainment for the entire family. Visitors can enjoy thrilling water tube rides and slides, as well as captivating dolphin and seal shows. While some attractions may be closed at times, the park provides an unforgettable adventure with its well-maintained facilities and friendly staff. It's recommended to arrive early to catch the shows and have time for relaxation and play throughout the day.
It's a good place for family to chill and have fun. Each shows has their own stadium and shedule which it is convenient not to missed (they pinned the schedule at the guide map nearby the stadiums).
The shows includes seal, dolphins and parrots which, quite spectacular. As well as, a sitcom mascot (shows for kids).
Additional, nearby seal shows stadium they have penguin and seal aquarium where you can watch them. I noticed photoshoot* available with penguins and dolphins (after the shows)
Other than that, they have waterslides both big and small. Quite fun indeed.
Apart from that, roller coaster and water coaster (was not available during the visit), that sure gives adrenaline rush. And, pirate boat water sprinkles suitable for kids and teens. The boat move slowly so it's safe.
Extra, a 4D cinema which I think, very much suitable for kids viewer.
Restaurants are available but kind a pricy. However, there's another options nearby - foodhut and cafe, which more affordable prices.
Overall experience was good. However, I do feel the target market are more for young children and teens based on the activities and layout of the compounds. They're not too big so kids won't be lost easily. If they're lost, it's easy to find👍
🅿️The parking* was organised they have staff to arrange the allocation.
🎟️Price is very reasonable, we pay only for €13 promo price (original price was around €39+ sth per person) per person to entry for the whole day activities (exclude food&drinks). Check their website and Facebook page for available promo.
🕴️They have safety staff stationed at each water park/slides and pools.
🚾They provide changing room and shower area*. There's number of washrooms so there's no worry about waiting queue.
⚠️The downside, the place is very crowded (probably it was weekends). Perhaps during weekdays are much better to go so, be able to enjoy more of the water park.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This place is all broken down! Nothing works? The 4D movie is not in focus, it hurts your eyes to try and look plus the seats don't work no water no air.....bull! The grounds are in shambles ....... save your money go the the zoo in Rome!
The Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict is a medieval monastery that is built into rock and adorned with frescoes, making it an ideal destination for a one-day excursion outside of Rome. Visitors can enjoy guided tours in either Italian or English, during which they will learn about the detailed history behind this peaceful and serene location as well as admire its stunning artwork. Although there is no entrance or guide fee, tourists are encouraged to make a donation at the end of their visit.
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.

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.

Impressive. Equivalent to the basilica of Saint Francis in asissi but a lot smaller and with less people. 4 old monks left in the Monastery and younger volunteers offer these guided tours. Some parts cannot be visited during pandemic. But that doesn't take any of the incredible magic and mysticism of this sanctuary build into the rock. Parking available and clean public toilets

The sacred caves of St Benedict is a very beautiful place where St Benedict is said to have spent 3 yrs of his life in meditation and prayer. The Monastery is built on the side of a rocky cliff and is a must visit if you are in Subiaco.
You can drive to the entrance of the monastery and then a walk of around 100m gets you to the entrance. The guides were excellent, we had Francesca, who gave a detailed description of the history, the painting and the events depicted in the painting.
You can leave a donation for the guides at the end of the tour. There is a nice little souvenir shop where you can buy religious objects as well as other things like candies and wines.

Wow ! Amazing structure built in the side of a mountain ! How did they do it ?? Amazing frescoes especially the one of St Francis. Such a peaceful and serene place. A definite must see if in Subiaco but only 1 hour (or less) from Rome. Escape the crowds and come enjoy some quiet time

This place is incredible. The history and architecture of it is amazing and beautiful. It worth visiting
The Pontifical Palace, a grand 17th-century residence nestled in the picturesque town of Castel Gandolfo, served as the summer retreat for several popes. Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Albano and surrounded by manicured gardens that were once Emperor Domitian's villa, this historic palace offers a glimpse into papal history. While it was previously a private haven for popes, it has now been opened to the public as a museum.
REALLY NICE
Impressive all-around. Gardens and palace are very very nice.
The museum is on two levels. The first level shows papal attire, paintings and different accessories from the papal wardrobe. The second level shows the Papal apartments and it is a the place where very important dignitaires have stayed while visiting the Holy See.
Gabriele L'Immaginifico — Google review
This is a beautiful palace, the summer residence for the Pope.. always at the ready should he decide to make a visit. Take the “Tour Guy/Roman Guy” tour for best access and no wait. Saturdays only… plan ahead.
Cheryl Draa Moran — Google review
In this residence-museum you can see the gardens and the beautiful view of the lake. Here the story of many popes throughout history is told. Likewise, it tells a little about the history of the pope's refugees in the Second World War.
I want to highlight how wonderfully they treated us as soon as we arrived. The guards can speak to you in English, Spanish and of course Italian, they made a much more pleasant experience since they told us various things throughout the tour.
They have an audio guide in the 3 languages already mentioned, which is definitely very helpful.
Moving on to another topic, if you come from Rome, I recommend entering this place early, just remember to book the train ticket and the museum ticket in advance. I recommend that you buy the train ticket round trip since the machine to buy tickets at the Castell Gandolfo station does not work, so you would have to buy it online.
Beautiful experience
Lara — Google review
I scheduled a visit to Gandolfo Palace on a day that overlapped with one of the Italians' days off! It was a very busy day on the streets and at the entrance to the palace. That's why we chose to visit only the gardens, for the palace, we had to wait another three hours. So we took a long walk through the 44 hectares of park that can be visited, on a wonderful spring day, accompanied by a guide who told us many interesting things about these gardens. The rest of 11 hectares are private , no one has access exept the Pope ! I highly recommend visiting these gardens. The walk lasted about an hour and a half. You should know that in these gardens scenes from the series "The Two Popes" were filmed!
Silviu Berari — Google review
Stunning gardens. Highly recommend the bus tour to get a sense of the scale of the palace.
Andrew Connolly — Google review
The Palace is stunning (haven't seen the gardens). The tour is ok.
It would be nice to see a richer exhibition then to see a lot of pope portraits and clothes.
The audio guide is very well done but of course a lot is on the history of every single Pope so after some time it becomes a little repetitive but still informative and interesting telling facts about these historically relevant figures.
Included to the palace ticket, there is a guided mini tour to the private rooms of the pope.
Jan 24 (bought directly from the office) costs me 11 euros just for the palace.
Ticket combo palace+gardens is 19.

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

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

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

Piazza della Libertà, 00073 Castel Gandolfo RM, Italy
Ostia Antica is an archeological site located just outside the city centre of Rome, Italy. The ruins of the ancient port town dating back to at least the 4th century BC are well preserved, and provide a great insight into everyday life in Roman times.
It's amazing. When you walk through this place you can feel the old roman history. You can see all in one place like as temple for Gods, Basilica for Christians, Theatre, Bath, Multi storied old luxurious residence, beautiful open place, fresh air etc etc.
Overall i loved it. I will go again to explore more. This site is huge. Single visit is not enough to see everything.

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

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

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

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

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

Underrated ruins. Super cheap to get to as a single metro ticket will get you from anywhere in Rome to Ostia Antica in about 30-45 minutes with a train change at Piramide stop. The ruins are vast, some are quite well preserved. Tons of info placards and a gorgeous ancient amphitheater that they still use. A great look at ancient Rome away from Rome and a great way to spend half a day away from the crowds. Good, reasonably priced cafe about halfway through the ruins. There's a few Nesoni to fill bottles along the main road but you might have to brave some bees to use them.
Bryan Jacobs — Google review
The park is really interesting. Much bigger than it seems and one can walk pretty much anywhere, inside the ruins etc. My only concern were the prices, 19 euros for the full price and another 4 for a map is quite a lot. For a similar price you get to visit Forum Romanum and Colosseum (which were much more beautiful and interesting in my opinion).

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

This place is a must see!! You’ll be able to walk at leisure through a real ancient roman city but without the immense crowds of central Rome.
Skip the ruins at the beginning and head into the area of the theater and other temples and work your way back and marvel at this beautiful place.
(Visited over 6 months ago in the summer. Apparently the mosaics are currently under maintenance)
One negative aspect: the only clerk at the ticket office refused to call a taxi for me because it “wasn’t a service they offered” when I, being all by myself was unable to flag one at closing time. I walked 2 minutes to the nearest cafe and was in a cab 10 minutes later.
Mary Bee — Google review
If you are into history or archeology like we are then this is a must visit place. The site is truly amazing. What we were disappointed with is it appears this has become a money machine and more about getting as many tourists in as possible than preserving this awesome site. We saw photos from decades past and much that was once stunning has been lost to the millions of people, kids and adults alike, running amok all over the ruins. There is so much that is in the scrub and trees around this site that is left to be uncovered yet I saw no evidence of work being done to uncover or preserve. Pieces of history were being handled by the masses without any attempts to control them. More work on preservation balanced with the tourist machine should be done.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful Roman archaeological park, very extensive and super interesting. It is totally worth visiting.
Admission price per adult €18, purchased at the entrance to the park and includes other museums (the papal castle in the Borgo di Ostia, the maritime museum of Fiumicino and some more). The ticket is valid for eight days.
The Colosseum is a large Roman amphitheater that was used for gladiatorial games. It is one of the most famous ruins in Rome and is still standing today.
Awesome place. It seems that you are inside a history book. There is a lot of information behind this monument that it really worth to book a guided tour as they will tell you the whole history behind it and also share details about the architecture, events that used to happen in the colosseum, gladiators among other important information related to all Rome Empires! I also went to Palatine and Roman Forum that is also a great visit. One recommendation is to take with you a bottle of water (there are fresh water fountains at the Platinum) and use comfortable shoes and clothes. I was there in April and it was about 24 Celsius degrees and it can be much hotter depending on the season.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A spectacular and monumental place. It’s the story before your eyes. There’s a lack of adjectives. Come in and take it easy. Photos are consequences of what you are able to see and imagine. The ticket is cheap and I recommend you choose the ticket that gives access to the galleries. Walk around and use the subway as a means of transport. And be sure to do the Palatine and the Roman Forum. I’ve been there twice and it’s worth every penny. The sunset here is beautiful.
Jeferson Kozenieski Couto — Google review
What an amazing historical place. You'll easily spend a full day visiting the Colosseum and Forum-Palatine (all included in the 16 euro pass).
I advise you to book a tour guide, what we did through GetYouGuide.. but we still had to wait (~1h30) and pay for the entrance.
It was a pretty long time because all tickets are private and they'll need your ID to do it.
Florian Roche — Google review
If the line is way too long, you can have a great experience by just walking around the entire Coliseum. That means that if you can fight the lines and get in, it's pretty remarkable and they must see..
By tickets in advance is your best bet. If you're real smart, book a rooftop restaurant a month in advance and you'll have a great view of it.

World heritage site.
A magnificent structure built almost 2,000 years ago.
A great energy in the oar of this magnificent building.

It’s still great to see even not going inside.

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

If you've made it to Rome, you'll probably see the Colosseum anyway. It's one of the things my kids most wanted to see, and it came included in the ticket for the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. We did the regular ticket where we walked around on our own and didn't regret not having a guide or not being able to access the lower and upper levels. It was definitely worth seeing. It was definitely crowded and touristy, but it's one of the few ruined buildings you can still step inside and walk into the same spaces as the ancient Romans. You should absolutely get your tickets in advance, it helped skip a lot of lines.
Jason Manwaring — Google review
Beautiful historical mark, but if you want to enter inside buy tickets in advance. We wanted to enter on the first Sunday of the month ( when the entrance is free) The waiting line in mid-day was 4h. So I guess early in the morning is the best visit time.

Great visit. We did the underground tour in Italian and, despite not fully understanding the guide, it was well worthwhile.

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

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

The Colosseum is simply astounding, a masterpiece of history that leaves me speechless. Thinking that, two thousand years ago, Roman emperors watched epic battles between humans and wild animals like lions or tigers here, takes my breath away. This place is a symbol of human strength and bravery, as well as a bridge to Rome's glorious past. Standing in front of the Colosseum, I feel a deep connection to history, as if time stands still. It is, without a doubt, one of humanity's most impressive achievements.
The Trevi Fountain is a popular tourist destination in Rome, Italy. It is a large basin with water cascading down the sides of three small streets. The fountain was built in 1762 by Nicola Salvi and is one of the most photographed spots in Rome.
Absolutely loved it.
Keep your belongings safe because there are a lot of sketchy people around and it's very busy. Everyone is trying to get the same photo and when taking a photo people walk in front of you. So a lot of patience is required.
Plenty of places to buy a gelato to cool down and also refresh yourself with the water from the fountain. It's fantastic. Such a beautiful place.
Enjoy and take in the surroundings. It's really lovely.

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

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

The fountain was a spectacular site today surrounded with beautiful weather, we arrived at 15:00 local time on a Tuesday and safe to say there were at least 1500 people there taking photos and all pushing to get a photo close to the fountains edge. It's very hard to get through the crowd. Beautiful clear water with an aqua blue background. Very happy to have seen it first hand. 😀
Alex Robben — Google review
One of the most famous monuments in Rome was a little disappointing for us. The fountain is without a doubt beautiful, the work of art is truly amazing, but it is a bit unluckily placed - it's surrounded on all sides by large buildings, so there is quite a small space around the fountain for the large number of people who want to take pictures with the fountain. It was also surprising to discover that the fountain is fenced on all sides.

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

Great and beautiful place, many pickpockets and too many tourists. Would recommend to go very early in the morning or late at night. Also, I recommend to not eat in restaurants around the fountain as they have inflated prices as well as tourist oriented food, instead of real Italian food that you can get in areas such as Pignetto or small streets that have less passage.
Jordan — Google review
This is a very popular and crowded are in Rome so it’s a bit difficult to get photos of the fountain if you want to only have yourself in the shot. The fountain is amazing to see in person as it’s architecture is immaculate and worth the visit. You maybe bothered by people trying to sell junk to you but overall must visit. The atmosphere is amazing and the fountain is featured in many different movies so it’s nice to be able to see in person.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This a must see in Rome, period. Breathtaking when you are just walking on the narrow streets, turn around the corner and boom, find this wonder of monument.

It's also customary to throw a coin aver your shoulder to the fountain and make a wish.

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

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

The fountain was absolutely fabulous but very crowded both day and night. Worth visiting. To get the perfect picture, people suggest going at 5 am. when it is quiet.
The Pantheon is a colossal Roman temple that was first built in 118-125 A.D. The building is still standing and beautifully preserved, with its concrete structure being the largest in the world.
A beautiful place with classical architecture. I recommend you see it with your own eyes. You must have a reservation on weekends, but during the week there is no problem with getting in. It is worth taking a look inside because there is something to see there. Everything is in perfect condition, beautiful sculptures and paintings. The perfect place to start exploring Rome.

Definitely worth the visit. You can't just see it from far away. You have to experience it. The line is long but moves quickly and its just for the ticket turnstiles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Pantheon in Rome is an architectural marvel. Its colossal dome, an engineering feat even by modern standards, is a testament to ancient ingenuity. Stepping inside, you're met with a sense of awe, the oculus above casting an ethereal light. The tombs of illustrious figures add to its historical weight. The Pantheon's symmetry and proportions are a study in balance and elegance. It's a living museum of Roman artistry and a place of reverence. The piazza outside is bustling, providing a lively contrast to the serenity within. The Pantheon stands as a timeless tribute to Rome's cultural legacy.
Wesley Roberts — Google review
What a Building! Pantheon is spectacular for many reasons. The fact that it is an intact structure that survived for the last 2000+ years alone makes it remarkable. Its architecture is stunning, the engineering involved in its construction is mind boggling, the play of light created by he oculus is amazing, and the fact that it is still the largest not steel reinforced dome in the world is just beyond belief! And its free to enter for all. Awesome!

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

A beautiful must-see for the architecture and history, even though it can be seen in about 15-20 minutes. There are useful signs throughout in English and Italian and ample seating. The only downside was the 25-30 minute queue to enter (on a Friday afternoon in February).

The Pantheon is one of the best places to see in Rome. We went here in a Friday afternoon and there was still a line from the ticket office. Good thing we already secured our ticket in advance. Just an advice, book tickets in advance to avoid long waiting time as you would not spend more than an hour here. Book through the official website days or even weeks before your trip here as it takes time before you receive the email confirmation from them— this confirmation is required before you can log in and book tickets. You don’t really need to book a guide here as it’s just a small place. Good enough to check the sculptures, photos and marvel on the great Pantheon eye. You can pray on the middle part as there’s a lot of chairs where I think they held masses before.
The Piazza Navona is a beautiful square in Rome that was built on the ashes of the Stadium of Domitian. Today, it is a popular spot for tourists and locals to meet and socialize. The square features a classical fountain, street artists, and bars. It is an excellent place to see Rome’s Baroque architecture in action.
Another great stop in a tour of squares and open air monuments in Rome. This can be a serene and spacious place, a good option to sit around and watch people passing by. The fountains and monuments are wonderful and rich in details. The Brazilian embassy seems to be nearby but, overall, just a fantastic site to fully observe the majestic architecture of Rome.
Alex Lopes — Google review
Fascinating look at many aspects of Rome in one spot. I originally was just playing to stop by a few minutes at Piazza on my way to the Vatican. However I was impressed with the many elements, sights and sounds there and ended spending over an hour just wondering around.
The intriguing thing I found is watching all the people from tourists, to locals to buskers to people selling all mixed in this large open space.
There was no less than 6 different musicians playing the afternoon I was there, each with a completely different instrument and music. Listening to them while wandering around, looking at the fountains was quite relaxing despite the large amount of people.
Didn't have time to stop for food, and I don't know how the various restaurants are, but it would be a treat to have a drink while people watching.
Malcolm Gray — Google review
The famous plaza in Rome. The fountains are especially beautiful but mind the sun in the noon it can be scorching hot out there.
The restaurants are pretty pricey (of course you have to pay the view) and offer sub par food quality.
But all in all worth a visit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This was probably my favorite area of Rome. It was a large area with nice vendors and shoppes. At night it was lit up and beautiful looking.
The fountain is the best in the city. It is magical and makes you smile with wide eyes.
There are many restaurants in the square and in the surrounding streets there are numerous more places to shop and eat.
Very nice area of Rome. This is one of those places that lets you escape the so-called hot spots that are just rumored to be better.
A must visit.
Justin Baron — Google review
Beautiful piazza with amazing fountains. Lots of tourists, pretty crowded but that’s to be expected. Didn’t stay at any of the terraces there as we try to avoid super touristy places.
The largest church in Christendom, St. Peter's Basilica is a breathtaking example of Renaissance and Baroque art. With sculptures by Michelangelo and paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, it is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Rome. The original basilica was built over the tomb of Saint Peter in 326, but a new church was only completed in the 18th century.
The basilica is very impressive in its grandeur and no pictures I have seen could replicate the feeling of being inside. You may pass the security line in a reasonable time and won't need skip the line services if you arrive before 10am. Entering the underground area "grottoes" is also free, it is interesting to see the old and new burials of the popes, but note that the exit from the grottoes is to the outside of the basilica to where the entrance to the dome tours is.

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

St. peters is the most incredible cathedral I’ve ever witnessed. It is from top to bottom pure perfection! It has gorgeous marble floors with circular dome ceilings letting just the right amount of sunlight in. The walls are perfectly etched and designed to perfection. One thing I thought was nice was that the church actually offers confessions by priests for whoever wishes to go in. It also offers an altar to pray at with benches and pews to kneel.
Rudy Krupitza — Google review
St. Peter Basilica is gorgeous monument right on the St. Peter square. The whole square along with the monuments is truly one of the nicest we have seen. The entrance to the square and Basilica is for free, but if you want to go inside the Basilica, prepare for long-queues (when we came here the waiting time to enter was 3 hours), so you may opt to just take pictures from the outside. Since Basilica is located in Vatican city, respect the dress code.

St. Peter’s Basilica is nothing short of breathtaking. Its grandeur, intricate details, and spiritual significance make it an architectural wonder. The sheer size and beauty of the interior, adorned with stunning artworks and intricate designs, are awe-inspiring. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of Rome that’s truly unforgettable. Despite occasional crowds, the serenity and reverence within this sacred space remain palpable. A visit here is an essential part of experiencing the history, art, and spirituality that Rome has to offer.
Rawad Shararah — Google review
The Basilica is absolutely amazing it looks great and it’s worth spending some money to access the top of the basilica as you get an amazing view of Rome and the Vatican from here. The scale of the building makes it amazing. Very busy in the mornings due to mass so it is easier to get into during the evenings as the lines are very very very long and tedious at morning time. Must go place if you are visiting Rome. Architecture of the building is so beautiful. The paintings/ frescos are really pretty.
Nikita Liasiuk — Google review
A must see. Architectural and artistic marvel. The scale is immense. The artworks and decor are awe inspiring. Several hours are needed for a thorough experience. A digital or online guide is recommended if you are interested in art or history. The Basilica is open every day free of charge which is especially nice and helpful to plan around other activities which require reservations. Highly recommended.

An amazing thing to behold. If you are visiting Rome, coming into St. Peter's Basilica is an absolute must! It is an incredible building with so many incredible things to see inside. This building is so much bigger and grander than any picture could accurately portray. So spectacular! There is so much history that is in here. It's kind of overwhelming. I would also recommend having a tour guide to go along with so they can accurately explain the history of each of the statues and artifacts.
Omar Gomez — Google review
The Basilica is a building you can easily spend half a day. You absolutely MUST arrive early because you will be stuck waiting a hour or more in line by mid day just to get through security. From security, you can walk into the Basilica pretty quickly. On the far right around the corner as you enter there is a hidden souvenir shop with the cheapest prices. You will also find this gift shop if you exit from the papal tombs. Anyway, as you enter the Basilica on the left is the entrance to climb to the top of the cupola. Get up there right away when you arrive to see one of the best views in Rome. It costs €8 to climb on foot, or €10 to use an elevator to get halfway up. Overall, this is the single most impressive building I have ever visited. It's absolutely gorgeous and a marvel to stand within.
Michael Barton — Google review
Incredibly large basilica church in the Vatican City, this place is a must visit in Rome. Highly recommend paying extra to climb up the steps to the top of the dome, as well as the Treasury museum with Christian relics. Also check out the underground Papal tombs where the Popes are buried, which is free to enter. Don't let the long lines put you off, it moves moderately fast.

Absolutely breathtaking! The size of this building is astonishing! We went very early in the morning to avoid the 3+ hour line and it was worth getting up at 7am! We stumbled onto a couple of different services going on at the same time. We attended mass at the main alter and even being non-religious, it was something to behold.
Jason Patton — Google review
This is probably the most ornate, glamorous, and awe-striking church in the world. The grandeur and absolute luxury of the building is striking. It made me feel very small to stand beside the statues that are so much larger than life. It is staggering to think the amount of effort that went into constructing this church. the courtyard was also very beautiful and enjoyable to experience. This is definitely a place to see when you’re in Rome.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City
The Vatican Museums are home to one of the worlds most impressive art collections, which started in the 1500s. The collection contains paintings, sculptures, and other artworks from many different periods. The museum is open to the public and is a popular tourist destination.
As of 8 Feb 2022, cost of the museum is €17 (approximately $19.50 per adult). Just buy tickets at the desk inside, it's much easier and avoid the €4 online fee to buy in advance.
Make sure to bring your covid vaccination card! Yes, they check at the door. We opted out of the audio and guided tours, but if that's your personal preference, it's about €6 or €8 to rent the audio equipment.
We just preferred self-guided tour at our own pace. Make sure to use the restroom before you start. There are restrooms throughout the museum, but some are spaced out prefer far and you'll wish you took the chance to go when you can.
There's food court and cafeteria at the end, and it's a lot of walking so you'll be hungry. There are also vending machines with drinks and snacks throughout, so you'll appreciate that as well.
This is one of the biggest museums I've ever seen in my life. If you take the time to appreciate each piece of historical relic and art, it can take you all day to see everything.
There's plenty of cheap souvenirs from tent stand vendors outside, but we picked up a few small things from the museum gift shop. The prices are higher, but not too bad.

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

Extremely awesome. It is just the heat that was the culprit otherwise totally worth it. Only if they can create more washroom there won't be long lines for the wait, especially for the ladies.

It was the best museum visit experience !! ☺️

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Its a worthwhile visit. Audio guide would be better. Book the tickets in advance and avoid long queues. Very artistic and amazing architecture. Do not miss if you are visiting Rome. A good 3 to 4 hours is required.
Museum tracing the history of Italian military aviation, with more than 60 aircraft, plus artifacts.
This Italian Airforce museum is located on the most beautiful site I have ever seen. Great (Italian) collection, a must see for the enthousiast.

We visited the museum on Tuesday around noon. It was almost empty. Recently renovated and looks very good.
The interactive part with VR headset and flight controls was down due to a lack of Internet connection, which is a reason more to come again :-)
Download the app on the phone before you go, MUSAM, and use it as a guide.
Very helpful and good mood personnel, even if they struggle with the English language.
Definitely worth 7.5€ and I will come again.

Awesome museum! Price is fair, the whole visit keeps you entertained for at least two and a half hours and the exhibition pieces are really valuable.
The visit starts with a fine display of aero engines (with complete descriptions, section views, specs...) and it continues with several hangars packed with timewise-sorted aeromobiles. The pieces are original, restored or replicas (always reported in the description) and they are exposed so that visitors can actually appreciate them.
Absolutely worth it!

We hired a car from the Rome cruise port, Civitavecchia. Could not buy a map at the hire office so we had to use a map thst I had printed off the Internet it was easy to drive to and find the museum but we got lost coming back and couldn't get a signal for Google maps. Tip: Get a map before you go.
Museum is amazing with many historic types I had only seen in books. Well worth a visit.

Excellent museum with great lighting, air-conditioned exhibition hangars, a wonderful collection of over 80 military aircraft, very clear and thorough descriptions and not expensive at all. It does require a lot of walking, but we'll worth the effort!!

First of all, as long you can get to it, entry is free. (2023. Entry is now €7.50 with some concessions available). It is open every day except Mondays. For aviation enthusiasts this is a must see. The aircraft are presented immaculately and most have English text explanations. There are many rare aircraft exhibited including three Italian entries for the Schneider trophy. These are worth the visit on their own. For plastic modellers excellent reference photos are possible, especially of the Italian camouflage patterns. As an added bonus the restaurant is excellent and very cheap and also the museum is on the lake shore offering great views of Lago Bracciano. Highly recommended.

Tanja Schulz — Google review
Awesome place, beautifully located and free entrance! Just two downsides (apart from the closed hangar they were renovating) was the lack of an English (or other) translation (everything is in Italian) and the disappointing museum shop. I was hoping to find a nice t-shirt of the museum for a fair price but was confronted with overpriced t-shirts and polo's that had very little to do with the museum, let alone aviation. Also a poor choice of gadgets and models not worth spending money on.
On the plus side, a very nice collection of aircraft and a descend museum cafetaria.

I honestly can't give the people at this museum enough stars and accolades. My wife broke her ankle just outside Ciampino airport terminal, so she was in a cast. The first thing they did at the museum was let us drive the car straight up to the ticket area/entrance. The second thing was that they immediately got a wheelchair so my wife could be trundled around. Not only that but they kept someone on standby, without us knowing, so that we could use a side door to exit the last but one hangar, and enter the last one. Poor guy probably waited 2 hours until we got to where he was, and he was still cheerful, helpful and basically, the care they took of us was second to none. I also have to mention what are seriously the best toilet facilities anywhere, bar none, complete with bidet! The only loos ever which actually are so clean, that all you smell is the coffee from the cafeteria next door. Even without all this, the number of rare and well prepared aircraft, which, by the way are constantly being cleaned, are spectacular. I seriously recommend this museum. Thank you so much!

There is so much to see, really incredible place. And the other garden, the outer one, was closed. Every room has some decoration. Even the town, Caprarola is worth seeing. It might be typical Italian town or just from region, but for the foreigner it's something different. We've been here on May so the flowers were blooming and all nature was dressed in green.

This is a beautiful Villa and garden to visit. When you buy the entry ticket, it’s worth asking for the audio guide.

Every door you pass is a "wow" moment. Save time for visiting the building because it has so many details in architecture and paintings you could easily stay hours looking to them. There is a great organization of the tour pass, so you can have good information to visit each space. And don't miss the superior garden, it is also incredible and a great breathing zone specially in a hot summer day. Definitely it worth visiting.

We were able to park right next to the palace but were already in the overflow car park although I have no idea where everyone else was as we only saw one other couple in the almost three hours that we were there. The palace is in a superb location with quite incredible views and well outside the hustle of Rome for a busy cardinal!
I had heard of Farnese but didn't know any detail - Alessandro Farnese, who had most of the work done on the palace - was made a cardinal at 14 and ended his long career as Vice Chancellor. He used his position to amass wealth on a staggering scale and his income was 1% of the entire GDP of Catholic Europe in the sixteenth century. On the plus side though he was a notable patron of the arts and sciences and an antiquarian as well as being a doting father.
The palace stayed in the Farnese family from 1521 until 1731 when the Bourbons of Naples inherited it. in 1941 it was appropriated by the state and has been publicly owned since then.
Entrance was €5 each, cash only of course, and we were then given free reign to explore. I'm not usually into these kinds of buildings but the art work and design of this place was stunning. Probably not surprising considering the resources but wealth and taste don't always go together. The map room was certainly my favourite, a world map and then continental maps, based on the latest scientific knowledge at the time.
The design of the palace was based on a planned fortress so it was hexagonal in shape with a circular courtyard. The route through was excellent with detailed explanations in every room and we just took our time wandering through. The staircase was particularly amazing but very difficult to photograph without a tripod. After a couple of hours we exited the building into the gardens.
The first part of the garden was a formal box hedge design and we didn't spend long there but the High Garden consisted of a 5-10 minute walk through beech forest before reaching another ornate building. Anywhere else this building would have been impressive on its own but here it was just a summerhouse. There was long water feature and more hedges along with lots of classical statues. As we were walking back we saw other visitors for the first time!
Marmore Falls is an incredible man-made attraction consisting of three sections and boasting the title of the world's tallest artificial waterfall. With a height of 83 meters, it's a breathtaking sight to behold. However, the only downside is that its working hours are limited due to seasonal changes. Visitors can witness a small amount of water flowing continuously until high flow is scheduled for only a few hours in accordance with their timetable.
Gorgeous! Keep in mind the water is released twice a day only! See the schedule. A very nicely maintained park area! Suitable for kids of all ages (the Lower part / Inferiore). Would take around an hour+ to slowly walk around and enjoy. Parking (2€/h), nice food facilities and souvenires. Highly recommend.
Yulia Belskaya — Google review
Useful tips
Marmore is located near the city of Terni (which is ~1 hour by train from Rome). The park has two entrances. To the lower one it is more convenient to get from Terni by bus (on the Trenitalia website choose the stop Cascata delle Marmore), and to the upper one – by train (get off at Marmore stop). If you are that rare traveler from the Sulmona or L'Aquila, go straight to Marmore.
A train ticket gives a discount on a ticket to the park - 8€ instead of 10.
The park and waterfall schedule changes every month! Do not believe the reviews that say to arrive at 11, or at 15, or at 20 - check the schedule yourself on the official website!
The Lovers Balcony (the balcony behind the waterfall) is accessible only with a guided tour. There are only 30 places, so be sure to buy tickets in advance on the official website. The cost is 3€. You will meet near the lower viewpoint, and first the guide will tell you about the waterfall itself. If you do not speak Italian, you can either try your luck and ask to speak English (it helped us!), or go to Wiki (all the info is there). Then you'll go to the balcony itself. You get wet in a second!! You can buy a raincoat in the park for 1€, but I recommend bringing your own reusable one so you don't have to worry about the think flimsy plastic one. If you also have shoe covers, it's perfect :)) The tour lasts an hour and ends somewhere halfway between the upper and lower viewpoints. Being inside the waterfall is a very unusual experience, I liked it :)
From the lower viewpoint you can see the entire waterfall, from the upper one you can see only one cascade, but closer. So both are spectacular, but in different ways. The path from the upper viewpoint to the lower one takes, by park estimates, 20 minutes, back it's 35.
The guide said that from route 4 (sentiero 4) there is a very good view, but we did not have time to check.He also recommended sentiero 2.
There is rafting in the park!

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

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

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

It was a astonishing experience. The view was perfect. You must visit the web site before going there to check the water release times. There were several different routes offering different views.

Civita di Bagnoregio is a captivating hilltop village in central Italy, accessible via a pedestrian bridge from the nearby ticket office in Bagnoregio village. The Etruscan-built Porta Santa Maria gateway and the Romanesque San Donato Church, dating back to the 7th century, are prominent landmarks within this ancient town. Additionally, visitors can explore the Geological and Landslides Museum showcasing efforts to support the village's eroding hillside.
The Duomo di Orvieto is a Gothic cathedral located in the city of Orvieto in Italy. It was founded in the fourteenth century as a response to a Eucharistic miracle that happened nearby. The cathedral has beautiful frescoes and mosaics on its gold facade, and is one of the top tourist destinations in Italy.
The history that involves this amazing architecture is fabulous. You can see the old testament and the new one carved on the walls of the entrance of the church.
A really beautiful place and full of history. Hire a tour guide so you can learn more about it.

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

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

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

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

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

La Scarzuola is a restored 16th-century monastery and architectural complex that offers guided tours by reservation. The site features eccentric architecture, theaters, and temples arranged along a hilly path, creating a surreal atmosphere. Originally a Franciscan abbey built by Saint Francis in 1218, the property was purchased by architect Tomaso Buzzi in 1958. Buzzi transformed it into his ideal city with seven theaters, blending historical styles and symbols in his designs.
A truly unique experience. Amazing art installation used for commercials, product launches, and movies. The 'road' to get there is a bit rough but it's worth the trip!

The nephew of the architect is as philosophical and talented as a shoe sole. His attempt at a crazy genius fails as you are forced to endure his spiel that is as deep as a puddle, as his jaw moves erratically and separate to his speech from years of particular fun that fueled his delusions of grandeur and deluded Nirvana state.
The buildings are lovely, though. Wish I got to know more about them and the art.

Do not go. Tax scam artist.
Cash only e no receipt given, the group had 100 people instead of 30 as advertised. The guide was talking nonsense pretending to be enlightened and playing the part of the misunderstood genius but his thinking was as deep as a puddle. It was a very sad show, which was to be expected considering the content of his website.
To give you an example of his “genius” philosophy, let me quote one of the many pearls he shared with us “Do you know who controls the internet? The dark internet, the darkness controls everything. You are all controlled” (fake hysterical laugh).
The place has potential and the experience could have been a pleasant and interesting show with surrealist metaphysics traits if actual knowledge was shared instead of a nonsensical rant.
Additionally, nothing was explained in terms of the art and creation process. Tedious experience.

The architect Tomaso Buzzi is the creative mind who brought together historical styles, symbols, and quotes from the past in his designs for this aritecture park. Built on the ex-property of a Franciscan monestary. Our guide, the nephew of Buzzi, opened the visit by noting: "St. Francis was the first who used drugs" as a way to think about the way people use drugs today to change their perception of the world. The tour is in italian but there is someone on hand to help with English sums on the side. Group visit is big (c100 people) but the guide uses a speaker-microphone so it was easy to hear. Also, big open spaces and much freedom to walk around and take photos. It seemed to me many people in my group did not read about the site in advance OR were not open-minded enough to appreciate the site and the guide. I highly recommend the site for people who want to have an experience outside the norm of guided visits to art-gardens in Italy. Be sure to rsvp weeks in advance.

Ein außergewöhnlicher und sehr interessanter Ort. Der derzeitige Besitzer, Marco Solari, der die Arbeiten nach den Plänen seines Onkels Tomaso Buzzi fortführte, machte die Führung persönlich - allerdings nur in italienischer Sprache. Es ist in jedem Fall sinnvoll, sich vorab zu informieren. Die Web-Seite von La Scarzuola hat ausführliche Erklärungen in italienischer und englischer Sprache, man findet aber auch viele Informationen in anderen Sprachen über das Internet.
Vor einem Besuch muss man sich unbedingt telefonisch anmelden, da nur an bestimmten Tagen geöffnet ist (die Reservierung über die Web-Seite funktionierte nicht und zeigte auch falsche Termine!).
Der Eintritt kostet 10€ pro Person und muss in bar gezahlt werden.

In any case, it makes sense to find out more in advance.

Before visiting, you must definitely register by phone, as it is only open on certain days (the reservation via the website did not work and also showed incorrect dates!).

My #1 attraction in Umbria. An extraordinary fantasy created in the 20th century on the site of a Franciscan chapel created in the 14th. Must make an appointment for the guided tour in English, I promise you won't regret it!

Amazing surreal place in the middle of nowhere. Despite all the complaints about the guide I thought it was fantastic and suit the uncommon nature of the place itself! He's a genius.
Rocca Paolina is a 16th century fortress constructed by Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane for Pope Paul III, which served as a symbol of papal authority until it was demolished in 1860 after being annexed to the Kingdom of Italy. Today, it has been repurposed into a cultural hub with an exhibition about the city.
Beautiful and full of amazing history. Highlight of a Perugia trip for sure.

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

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

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

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

Minimetrò is a new transportation system in the city that operates like a cable car, monorail, or metro line. It connects the bottom of the hill near the main train station to the old town center. For just 1.5, passengers can avoid a strenuous uphill or downhill walk by taking advantage of this affordable and convenient mode of transport.
Lago Trasimeno is a charming and picturesque lake in Italy, featuring three islands and surrounded by medieval towns, olive groves, and cypress trees. The area includes Citta della Pieve, which offers stunning panoramic views of Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno from its hilltop location.
Fantastic place. We'll worth hiring boat and go round lake

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) Masterful example of composed beauty, harmonious and elegant in its sobriety.
The town hall and the cathedral overlook it, with a facing staircase.
Preserved essence of Italianness.

Magistrale esempio di composta bellezza, armoniosa ed elegante nella sua sobrietà.
Vi si affacciano il palazzo del comune e la cattedrale, con prospiciente scalinata.

Enoteca la Fortezza di Montalcino Srl is a warm wine vendor located within a 14th-century stronghold, showcasing a diverse selection of local and international wines for tasting. This renowned establishment in the picturesque town of Montalcino acquaints visitors with Brunello, a rich crimson wine known as "The brunette" in Italian.
Excellent wine shop with wonderful selection of new and older vintages. We opened a couple great bottles there and shipped some home. Irald helped us with a selection, waited on us, and helped educate us on Montalcino wine history. Great experience!

Incredible wine tasting experience with Sergio. He is super knowledgeable about wines and gave listened to what we liked and didn’t like in detail, and introduced us to some new ones that we thoroughly enjoyed. This spot also has some incredible food to enjoy while wine tasting, they know how to do it right!

The coolest wine store I've been in across five continents - seriously. I can't speak to it having (or not having) the absolute best price or selection because we didn't visit any other shops in the immediate vicinity.
We ordered 6 bottles in person and the correct bottles all arrived to us in impeccable condition after the international shipment. I definitely recommend checking out this place if you're perusing through Tuscany.

Stunning place inside the old fortress of Montalcino. Beautiful wine selection. The waiter was really friendly and incredibly knowledgeable of wines. The selection of wines is beautiful. The ambiance is really unique inside the courtyard of the castle. Definitely the place to go to enjoy some local wine and do tasting.

Outstanding wine selection and a wonderful location in the fortress!
Not the best prices, but ao many options for Brunello tasting.

When the waitress brought the bill, our otherwise pleasant experience was ruined. It turned out that she had brought us a different wine tasting set than we had ordered, and obviously what she had brought us was significantly more expensive. The wines we tasted and the cheeses that accompanied the wines were good, but from a place that tries to present itself as an up-scale wine bar and wine shop, you don't expect such typical "how can we fool the tourist" trics.

A fairy tale among the hills of Tuscany. Stunning ambiance, incredible wines (oh, Brunello, you lovely thing)... you can't go wrong here. An amazing place for an intimate aperitivo or a tasting of the many high class wines that Montalcino has to offer.
