GraciousJaneMarie Ever since I can remember, I wanted to go to Tivoli to experience the Villa d'Este, the Este family's enchanting home and water garden near Rome. My years of waiting were worth while - there is no place like it. And when you throw in the ruined splendor of Emperor Hadrian's Villa, the Villa Adriana, I defy anyone to come up with a more impressive history-filled tourist stop than this small Italian town.

It's not hard to visit Tivoli, known to the ancients as Tibur, on a day trip from Rome, but the last time I checked the guidebooks, there was little or no information. We followed some bad directions and took the subway from Rome's Termini (central station) all the way to the last stop at Rebibbia. We had to go back to the second to the last stop at Tiburtina to catch the bus for Tivoli.
The tourist office at the Piazza Garibaldi, also the bus stop for Hadrian's Villa, has maps and current information.
The bus to Hadrian's Villa leaves you with a brisk uphill walk to the entrance to the park. When you walk back down to the town, stop at the bar / snack shop on the corner, P & A Coffe Shop [Via di Villa Adriana, N 184], for refreshments - they actually let you sit at a table without charging an enormous surcharge! The bus stop back to Tivoli is across and a just bit down the street. The Villa Gregoriana, also in town, has been closed for repairs for several years. When it opens, I suggest an overnight stop in Tivoli to experience the area at a leisurely pace.
