Tivoli and surroundings, lands to explore

Tivoli, the ancient "Tibur Superbum" as Virgil called it, lies on the slopes of the Tiburtine Mountains, modest hills east of Rome. Between millennia of history and absolute masterpieces: Villa d'Este, Hadrian's Villa, Villa Gregoriana and the Sanctuary of Hercules Victor, the medieval historic centre and its traditions.

The historic towns around Tivoli: from the splendid villas of the Castelli Romani to the ancient Praeneste with its Sanctuary, as far as Subiaco and its Benedictine monasteries.

Trails and walks among the Lucretili, Simbruini, Ruffi and Prenestini Mountains and the Monte Catillo Nature Reserve: trekking and landscapes immersed in greenery at the gates of Rome.

Religious festivals, folklore and local food festivals ("sagre") that enliven Tivoli and its villages all year round, together with a chronological archive of past events.

Travertine and the Acque Albule, symbols of the natural and thermal heritage, together with the typical flavours of the land: olive oil, wine, pizzutello and traditional recipes.
