About Tivoli
Tivoli rewards first-time visitors with two UNESCO World Heritage sites set in the hills just outside Rome: the water gardens of Villa d'Este and the sprawling ruins of Hadrian's Villa. The easiest introduction is the From Rome: Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa Tivoli Day Tour, which handles transport and both sites in one day, while independent travellers often pair a Villa d'Este Skip-the-Line Tickets: Renaissance Gardens & Fountains entry with a separate stop at Hadrian's Villa.

Frequently asked questions
Almost every first visit centres on the two UNESCO sites: Villa d'Este, famous for its Renaissance terraced gardens and fountains, and Hadrian's Villa, the vast archaeological complex of the emperor's retreat. Most first-timers do both in a single day, either on a guided tour from Rome or independently by train, since the two sites sit a short.
