Overview

Indulge yourself in the beautiful natural landscapes and the old-world beauty of the charming little Old Town of Tivoli, the Italian city nestling at the falls of the scenic Aniene River, by marvelling at the majestic Villa Gregoriana Park, a grandiose work of hydraulic engineering preventing flooding on the Aniene River and the heavenly Villa d'Este Garden - one of the early models for wonder gardens all over Europe as well as exploring its mysterious maze of terraced cobbled alleys lined by mystic medieval buildings, such as the 13th-century Gothic House looking like something walking out of a storybook and the magnificent Rocca Pia Castle – the medieval Seat of the Bishop.

Activity itinerary

Casa Gotica
  • 25m
The tour starts at the 13th-century Gothic House, the most representative antique house in the historic quarter of Tivoli. The 3-floor structure made from mansory bricks with a unique external staircase gives off such a storybook-esque vibe that it looks like something walking out of the books of Brothers Grimm or Harry Potter. Adding to the vintage beauty of the house is its location on the romantic Villa d'Este Street, one of the oldest corners in the historic town. Browsing through a mysterious maze of cobbled alleys characterised by gently graded steps, vines spilling down walls, and mystic medieval buildings offers you a journey back to the Middle Ages.
Cattedrale di San Lorenzo (Pass by)
Next, walk by the oldest church in the Old Town, Tivoli Cathedral. The original 8th-century cathedral, which has been renovated many times, was built by Roman Emperor Constantine, the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, in honour of Pope Simplicius who was born at Tivoli in the 5th century.
Gregorian Bridge
  • 20m
Continue to cross the picturesque Gregorian Bridge, from which you can capture all the beauty of Villa Gregoriana Park, a grandiose 19th-century masterpiece of hydraulic engineering built to put an end to disastrous flooding, with its large waterfall, a valley of lush vegetation, cliffs, caves, and vestiges of ancient buildings, most notably the Roman Temple of Vesta and the Temple of Sibyl.
Piazza del Plebiscito Produce Market
  • 30m
Proceed to pass by the lively Plebiscito Market, nestling among lovely arcade cafés in the cosy namesake square. Displaying a variety of fresh produce and regional specialities, the colourful and aromatic stalls offer a chance to get immersed in the daily life of Tivoli.
Anfiteatro di Bleso
  • 25m
Then, go up a slightly sloping street running along the 2nd-century Bleso Amphitheatre. The ruins of the ancient stadium consisting of an oval-shaped stage and part of the auditorium provide you with a flashback of bloody gladiatorial fights held there more than two millennium years ago.
Castello Di Rocca Pia (Pass by)
At the end of the street prominently stands the 15th-century Rocca Pia Castle, the emblematic icon crowning the skyline of Tivoli. Built by Pope Pius ll, the medieval symbol of papal power will thrill you with historical stories from the Middle Ages.
Villa d'Este
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
Finally, marvel at Villa d'Este Garden, recognised by UNESCO as one of the first models for wonder gardens all over Europe, in all its glory from the highest viewpoint of the Vialone Terrace. From here, you have a good starting point to explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Italian-Renaissance garden from the 16th-century, which features numerous dramatic fountains, mythological statues, and a special organ that creates audible effects created by water.
