This is an exceptional complex of classical buildings built in the 2nd century AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, which reproduces the best elements of the cultures of Egypt, Greece and Rome in the form of an "ideal city."

What a site(sight)! For 1 Euro 30 we purchased a bus ticket to the stop in Tivoli for Hadrian’s Villa. We caught the bus from the ponte de Mammalo stop on the B metro line. The driver of the bus stopped at a stop which was signposted for the Villa Adriana. Following the signs we arrived at the villa’s ticket office after a 20 minute walk.The walk was well worth the effort. Paying 10 euros each and another 5 euros for a mobile commentary we entered the grounds of the emperor’s Villa. Take your time looking at the model of the Villa because it gives you a great impression of the sheer size of the place. There are about 27 information boards dotted around the grounds giving you information about the building or scene you are looking at. Be prepared to do do a lot of walking if you want to explore. Hadrian’s visionary Villa. Having refreshments to hand would be a good idea and there are plenty of seating areas to enjoy your picnic. We returned to Rome using the same route, after purchasing our ticket from a tobacconist near the bus stop. We were surprised to find we had spent a good 3 hours enjoyed visiting this iconic historical site.

4. Parco Villa Gregoriana

4.5 based on 1,755 reviews
A poco più di mezz’ora da Roma, a Tivoli, Parco Villa Gregoriana racchiude un ingente patrimonio che declina natura, storia, archeologia e artificio che qui si fondono in modo così seducente da diventare meta obbligata del Grand Tour nell’800 e il soggetto principale delle rappresentazioni pittoriche di Tivoli. Nel 1832 papa Gregorio XVI promosse una grandiosa opera di ingegneria idraulica per contenere le continue esondazioni dell’Aniene, incanalando le sue acque in un doppio traforo scavato nel monte Catillo e ingrossandole poi artificialmente dando così vita ai 120 metri di salto della nuova Cascata Grande, seconda in Italia dopo le Marmore. Compiuta l’opera, il Papa creò il Parco che porta il suo nome e che per oltre un secolo fu meta di artisti, letterati e uomini di cultura che ne raccontarono al mondo la bellezza.

There are two entrances to this horseshoe shaped park. If you go in the entrance with the temple, you will go down the steep way and come up the shallower, easier steps. If you go in the yellow entrance you will go down the shallow way and have what may be a challenge to come up. Either way, wear appropriate shoes. The steps are tall and frequent on the steep side. We saw people wearing wedges and flip flops and knew they would be very unhappy once they got to the steep part. There are lots of fountains on both sides of the gorge to refill water bottles. Park is uncrowded, and has beautiful views in both directions, and a very interesting and tragic backstory explaining why the river disappears and reappears on maps. Wish I could have seen it before!
