Tivoli is a charming hilltop town east of Rome, so beautiful that both the exotic Emperor Hadrian and the powerful Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, son of Lucrezia Borgia, chose it as the site for their magnificent countryside villas. This day trip takes you to discover both, all in one unforgettable experience.
Villa Adriana (Hadrian’s Villa) is one of the most important archaeological sites in Italy. Its artificial lakes, private island, vast network of tunnels, and grand domed buildings reveal the extraordinary scale and sophistication of an imperial residence.
Villa d’Este, on the other hand, is a celebration of water and Renaissance artistry. Its gardens feature hundreds of fountains sculpted into animals and fantastical shapes, from monumental grottoes to a cascading waterfall—the very triumph of Italian Renaissance garden design.
