Porta musei vaticani

Museum

👍👍 Arrive 10-20 minutes before the reserved time since it is of little use to arrive earlier because they do not allow entry. We spent 4 hours and going 'fast' if you have an audio guide and want to hear everything you could easily spend 6-8 hours. It's all worth it and don't forget to go see the cars...

IKONO Roma

Museum

🫤 Definitely it’s more of a photo opportunity type and nothing really impressive. The room with a confetti was really boring and the machine staying there is like a purchased from a very cheap Chinese shop and must to start with some visible instruction absolutely remote! Guys for this high admission...

Mausoleum of Saint Helena at Tor Pignattara

Stately 15th-century structure in the Capitoline Museums, featuring statues, art & frescos.

Complesso di Santa Maria Nova

Archaeological museum

👍 Too praised as a venue for events and too snubbed as a structure to visit regardless. the recovery intervention can be seen and was decisive in returning this gem to citizenship but perhaps a little too invasive in returning something visibly tampered with. Not limited to the ground floor is a must...

Piazzale Caffarelli

Museum

👍👍 Small park with few tourists. Nice view of Rome and the Teatro di Marcello. Nice at sunset.

4.70 (250 reviews)

Museo Storico della Liberazione

Museum

👍👍 A very great and exciting museum that, in my opinion, only suffers from the lack of financial resources available. This chapter of Italian (but also German & Austrian) history is well presented in the museum and the employee/police officer (?) we spoke to on site was well informed and extremely cour...

Museo Ninfeo (Horti Lamiani)

Archaeological museum

👍👍 I was at a working table at the Enpam headquarters hosted in the room next to the Ninfeo museum in the basement of the building. The entrance to the building is already beautiful, with a waterfall worthy of the best luxury hotels, a spiral staircase leading to the basement which makes the experienc...
