I didn’t mean to give five stars, but I absolutely do not recommend this excursion, nor buying the tickets on this website. We paid €30 per person, but the tickets didn’t work. We had to call customer support, which made us waste time while waiting for them to email us the valid tickets. On top of that, since we are students, the on-site price would have been €5, yet we paid €30. For information, the regular adult price is €18 (with everything included, of course). That said, the monument itself is absolutely beautiful.

The building itself was outstanding, breathtaking. However, the glass elevator and the terrace was not that amusing. Definitely not worth paying to get up there, better places and rooftops in Rome to spend money on. It was fine, but definitely not ticket worthy. The building itself from the outside was absolutely beautiful.

This was one of the few places that we did not have to queue to enter. We enjoyed the magnificent views from the roof and the cafe allowed a welcome break as well.
