Villa d'Este

My WHS #43, 4.1% of 1052 completed











How to go there?
Getting there from Rome is quite a challenge. There are two main options.
The first option is to take a regional train from Tiburtina station to Tivoli station. From Tivoli station, walk towards Tivoli town centre and there is signage leading to the Villa d'Este entrance. The walk will take 10-15 min.


The second option is to take a metro to Ponte Mammolo. Once you exit and at the same level, walk towards the buy a bus ticket from the food and beverage shop. I will recommend you to buy the return ticket as well since you may not be able to get it at Tivoli, unless you have decided to return Rome by train. Go up to the ground level and find the bus bay that shows Tivoli. Alight at the town centre. From there, it will just take a few min walk.


For the first option, the frequency of the regional train service is pretty low, so make sure you find out the schedule first. For the second option, the bus journey will take longer time, and is further subjected to traffic conditions. The bus is not air-conditioned and could be hot during summer time.

If you want to go Villa Adriana next, go back to the town centre and buy the local bus ticket (Bus 4) at the Tabucchi (tobacco shop) near Piazza. It is too far to walk from the town centre and the local bus will bring you to the entrance.
