Tivoli: Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este - 1 Day tour from Rome
Visiting Villa Adriana is an extraordinary experience: you are completely amazed by the beauty, grandeur, elegance, size, and opulence of Emperor Hadrian's residence. In this place he wanted to experiment with new architectural techniques, adopted more efficient systems for water distribution, and literally invented heating and cooling tools. Villa Adriana tells of the genius and incredible modernity of a residential complex still studied and why not copied today. Villa d'Este is the expression of the will of its owner, Cardinal Hippolito, who decided to build his residence here. Harnessing the talent of engineers, architects, and plumbers, he wanted to enrich his estate with an impressive number of fountains of every size in every part of the immense garden, which he beautified with trees and plants of every kind. The historic center of Tivoli tells of a distant, yet still alive and present, era.

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.
