★★★★★4 months agoAn absolutely exceptional experience at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum on Piazza del Popolo! It’s perfectly located, just a few steps from the Flaminio metro station on Line A (Orange Line), making it very easy to reach from the Anantara Hotel. This hidden gem brings his genius to life—the interactive wooden machines are brilliant, and being able to actually touch and operate them is so much fun for all ages. But the absolute highlight was the Virtual Reality (VR) experience! The flight over Florence through Leonardo’s eyes felt incredibly real and breathtaking. The blend of historic inventions and modern technology is simply genius. A must-see in Rome! Highly recommended!
