★★★★★a week agoSo cool seeing the ancient downtown of Rome! I would recommend getting a guided tour because we knew nothing about it and just had the signs to read! So pretty and unique!! Make sure to bring a form of identification because they ask upon entering. Go right when they open!!! By 10-10:30 it was packed!! We got there at 9:30 and no one was in line and barely anyone in the park

★★★★★2 weeks agoTry to make sure you have ALL DAY to visit this place, since there's a huge ground to cover! Even if you don't enter every "super" location or designated museum this place has a lot to offer. Bring food with you, water wells are everywhere on the other hand. It's beautiful and definitely is worth a visit!
