I didn't visit any museums, only Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este, which were really outstanding. Everything went well even for the entrances, there were no people.

It's not so much the ticket that's interesting as the time of our visit. In September, there's hardly anyone around and we had almost all the sites to ourselves :o) And the single ticket for all 3 sites is really practical. I recommend taking the audioguides offered at each site for 4€ (discounted with the entrance ticket ;o)), it's a real plus for discovering their history.

Although, we enjoyed the gardens, we were disappointed in the amount of renovation going on. Many things that we saw 15 years ago were not operating or overgrown. We realize renovation is always an ongoing process, so we do understand it needs to be done. The lack of directional signs and information on where to park were limited we spent a good 40 minutes trying to locate the gardens and once we did found it difficult to find parking. One suggestion might be to include information on where to park and a better GPS locator in the information you send out. We used the GPS provided and it led us to a nearby neighborhood not to the gardens. Overall, enjoyed ourselves but it was sad to see so many of the fountains under renovation or not working.

I spent 8 weeks in Rome and had some great days and nights here, but one I will remember probably forever was yesterday in Tivoli. Not only is the city lovely and charming and worth a visit itself, there are also almost no other tourists. We visited the sanctuary of Hercules Victor alone. There were no other people on the sight. The Villa d'Este has one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen and if you are interested in roman history Villa Adriana will leave you stunning. It's incredibly impressive to stroll through the ruins. Even at the Villa Adriana, which is actually like a little city itself, there were no queues and not more like ten other visitors, which made it even better. Just don't miss it! If you are physically capable, don't miss the Parco Gregoriano with the second largest waterfall of Italy, its caves and beautiful views. We were very sad returning to Rome in the evening, although we love Rome.

Your experience

There's plenty to explore in Italy outside Rome, The Eternal City. One such example is Tivoli, an hour east of the capital. This hilltop town was once the summer retreat for ancient Romans and the Renaissance rich. Today it is known for its 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Villa d'Este. Exploring this lavish Renaissance retreat is simply a treat for the eyes. Expect landscaped gardens, lavish fountains, statues, and grottoes that will take your breath away.

Built for Ippolito d'Este, the 16th-century cardinal, and statesman, the Villa d'Este is awe-inspiring inside and out, and a much-copied model for European gardens. With your ticket, you can admire its impressive gardens, stroll along paths circled enveloped by statues, and listen to the tinkling of water from the fountains on its endless terraces. Inside the villa, see stunning wall-to-wall frescoes in lavish halls and rooms.
