What to see in Tivoli in just two days, travel tips to eat well, sleep cheaply and see the wonders of the Lazio city, read the post.
Tivoli is a small town in Lazio, a stone's throw from the capital, full of monuments and sites to visit, a small treasure chest that contains numerous precious jewels of art, history and culture.
Below you will find some tips to eat and sleep well and to make the most of the cultural offer of the ancient Latin city. Two days can be enough for a complete and pleasant visit, so I just have to wish you a good trip.
Where to sleep in Tivoli
For one night in the historic center, a stone's throw from the main sites of interest and the bustle of shopping and restaurants, the Antica Torre B&B, in piazza delle Erbe, it is absolutely the place you were looking for. With 60 € per night per couple, you can rest in a large double bedroom with private bathroom, furnished with taste and warm colors (and equipped with TV, wi-fi, maps and tourist guides, kettle, etc.) and you can enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared by the managers very kind, who set up the common corridor with everything you need. The family-run b & b is housed in a beautiful medieval building and is easily accessible on foot. In this regard it is good to know that the town center is a limited traffic and it is recommended, for those arriving by car, to park in the large parking in Piazza Massimo.
Where to eat in Tivoli
In a two-day getaway you have to choose where to stop for pleasant dinners and lunches. Tivoli is full of pubs and restaurants, you are definitely spoiled for choice. So here are two recommended places, the first for lunch and the second for dinner.
Ad AND NO' THEFood and wine of Tivoli you can find excellent delights to be consumed even in a short time in a simple and familiar environment, managed by friendly and affable young people. Sandwiches and focaccia with the most varied tastes, cutting boards and typical first courses. If you are undecided, just get advice from the guys behind the counter.
For an informal but satisfying dinner, the Ristorante Pizzeria From Sandrina, in via Due Giugno, is a good solution. Excellent soufflés and very good pizza. Dinner in the small outdoor courtyard is very pleasant. On weekend evenings it is very popular, especially by large groups, I recommend booking.
What to see in Tivoli
The walk through the streets of Tivoli reserve architectural surprises and historical. You can still breathe the air of the country despite the large flow of tourists and you can find interesting and pleasantly photographable glimpses.
In the list of sites not to be missed there are obviously Villa Adriana, Villa Gregoriana and Villa d'Este.
One of FAI's treasures, the Park of Villa Gregoriana it is a beautiful experience of nature and silence, among paths, monumental trees and suggestive waterfalls, all a stone's throw from the historic center of the town. It can be visited thanks to the great commitment of FAI's donors and volunteers, and can be visited at a cost of € 6 (free for Foundation members) from Tuesday to Sunday.
A great classic that does not disappoint expectations, Villa D'Este it is a wonderful example of Italian Renaissance architecture and garden and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. A visit that winds through frescoed rooms, fountains, wide avenues, water features, stairways and plants of all kinds; the ticket is 8 €. It is not recommended to go on the first Sunday of the month (free) because the imposing flow of visitors prevents you from enjoying the beauty of the Villa in serenity and calm.
If you say Tivoli you say Villa Adriana, a masterpiece commissioned by the emperor Hadrian, built between 118 and 138 AD, it can be visited for 40 of the original 120 hectares. Among water basins, olive trees, brick walls, fascinating ruins, artifacts, sections of ancient flooring and suggestive past, the tourist route reveals itself as a real dip into the past. You breathe history and breathe life that once was. A panacea for archaeologists, architects, historians and enthusiasts. The grandeur and majesty of the place take your breath away, you leave the visit inebriated with joy and amazement. An absolutely inevitable stage, one of those that fill your heart and mind (.. and your camera).
