Tivoli
Tivoli is one of the most popular day trips from Rome. It has been a summer retreat from the Roman times because of its lovely climate during the hot muggy months. It is set on Monti Tiburtini hills where the air is cleaner and cooler than Rome. Historically it has been a town for the rich who built their holiday homes in this area. In the suburbs of the town you can still enjoy the thermal springs that attracted the Romans of the past. You can still see the ruins of the ancient town wall from the 4th century BC and ruins of temples as well.
Of course Tivoli is most know for its two famous villas; the Villa d’Este from the Renaissance period and Hadrian’s Villa built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Both are Unesco World Heritage Sites and both are worthy of a visit.
