Domus Aurea Self-Guided Tour with Virtual Reality Experience
Step into the Golden House (Domus Aurea), the grandiose Palace of one of the most famous Rome’s emperors. Thanks to ongoing archaeological restoration and an immersive Virtual Reality experience, you’ll discover the hidden world of Nero’s Palace, rich of beautiful ancient frescoes and incredible chambers. This immense palace was built after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. After Nero’s death, it was partially destroyed and then, it lay buried underground for centuries, forgotten and preserved, until its rediscovery during the Renaissance. It became immediately a source of inspiration for great artists like Raphael and Michelangelo. During this Virtual Reality experience you’ll be transported back in time through new technology and immersive 3d video narration providing you visual insights into how Emperor Nero's golden palace looked 2,000 years ago. The final result will be a true time travel, a sort of cognitive and emotional short circuit.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
