Tivoli Walking Tour

Tivoli, Italy

Why Walk Tivoli

Tivoli has been a retreat from Rome since antiquity. Emperor Hadrian built his sprawling villa complex here in the 2nd century AD, recreating buildings and landscapes from across the Roman Empire. In the 16th century, Cardinal Ippolito d'Este transformed a Benedictine convent into the Villa d'Este, with its terraced gardens of over 500 fountains powered entirely by gravity. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
