The Appian Way combined ticket

You visit the Tomb of Caecilia Metella with a ticket that is usually combined with two other major sites in the area: the Baths of Caracalla and the Villa dei Quintili (along with Santa Maria Nova). It is a single ticket, valid for several days, that lets you see multiple monuments across the Appia–Caracalla area with one admission (prices and validity are indicative, so check the official website). It is a very convenient option if you want to spend a full day in this part of Rome.

Opening hours

The site is generally open every day (with a possible weekly closing day) from morning until late afternoon, with hours that change by season (winter closing comes earlier; hours are indicative, so check the official website). The ticket office usually closes one hour before.

Tips for your visit

  • Make the most of the combined ticket: one admission gets you Caecilia Metella, Villa dei Quintili and Caracalla.
  • Check the seasonal hours: in winter, closing comes earlier.
  • Plan your transfers: the sites are far apart, and a private driver makes everything much easier.
  • Pair it with the Via Appia Antica: combine your visit with a walk along the Roman paving stones.
