I visited Hadrian's Villa as an architecture student in 2001 & this was my assigned attraction to study & introduce to the rest of my group. I discovered that Hadrian was very interested in architecture & used this location to "play". We were like kids wandering around the wonderland of structures & architectural elements. This was a great place for... more

Friends & I took time out from a trip to Rome to visit Villa Adriana (followed by a trip up the hill to the town of Tivoli and the Villa d'Este)--the day was one of the highlights of our entire 2-week trip around Italy! This was a last-minute decision for our group of 4 (one in a wheelchair) and we... more

This is a hard site to find. Blue bus form Tivoli takes you down the hill drops you off in a unknown street. 20min walk in the heat to the site through back streets. Entrance cost 10 euros + 3.50 euros for audio tour. Drinks cost 4 euros for a bottle of Coke WOW take your own. Not a site... more

We were able to visit Hadrian's Villa and The Tivoli Gardens as part of a package tour through Vastours which had to be booked through the tour company Enjoy Rome. We had possibly one of the best experiences in Rome on this trip, but it almost didn't happen. At Hadrian's Villa you will see a miniature city that is in... more
