Most Liked - Discover Tivoli: Day Trip from Rome with Private Transportation

Let's visit the ancient town of Tivoli, located just 19 miles from Rome, which was established over 400 years before the eternal city. The wealthy Romans favoured this area for their luxurious villas due to its fresh air, mineral springs & abundant building materials like limestone, making Tivoli a significant Roman town. It is no coincidence that in the 2nd century, Emperor Hadrian selected Tivoli for the construction of his magnificent villa, which spans approximately 120 hectares & features residential buildings, baths, gardens & artificial water basins. On this tour I'll provide insights into Roman construction techniques that have allowed these structures to endure through the centuries. Also I highly recommend stopping for lunch at a local trattoria to sample traditional dishes! As for the afternoon, we'll spend it at the Renaissance Villa d’Este, built in the 16th century. With its numerous fountains, jets of water, and beautiful green pathways, you'll enjoy its serene atmosphere.
