It was beautiful and exciting; the tickets were easy to use. We took the elevator up to the Loggia delle Quadrighe, where we had a great view of the Colosseum, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Janiculum Hill, and the trigger mechanism for the noon cannon. The booking app works great—it lets you change your reservation times or alerts you if there are any changes. In the summer, I recommend bringing a parasol and water bottles.

Headout's organization was truly exemplary and straightforward; the Altar of the Fatherland is a must-see monument, and the elevator lets you see Rome from above in a way you wouldn't otherwise be able to. Excellent rating.

Was a great experience, definitly worth a visit! But, on a bad note; headout sends QR codes that arent for admission which kind of confuses the whole situation, Had to go to the ticket desk to clarify booking. While there we realised that there is lillte to no que, and it was half the price that headout charged, So its a bit of a tourist rip off!! take a chance and buy tickets at the venue!!

The view from the terrace of the Altar of the Fatherland was spectacular. The tour inside Palazzo Venezia was also particularly interesting, complete with descriptions of the rooms.

Skip the line and ride the glass elevator to panoramic rooftop views over Rome.

How it works: Show your ticket at the Vittoriano Complex at your selected time, ride the glass elevator to the rooftop, then visit the Museum of the Risorgimento and Palazzo Venezia at your own pace.

Add-ons: Upgrade with an audio guide in multiple languages, or an audio and video guide with richer multimedia stories.

Good to know: The terraces stay relatively uncrowded even at peak hours. The northern terrace gives the clearest sightline over the Roman Forum.
