Tickets: How Much It Costs

Admission to Hadrian's Villa requires a modestly priced ticket (indicative figure, check the current prices on the official website), with a reduced rate for visitors aged 18 to 25 from the European Union and free entry for anyone under 18. Prices may change during exhibitions or special events.

Combined Ticket with Villa d'Este

A combined ticket covering both Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este, Tivoli's two UNESCO villas, is often available. If you want to see both in a single day, it's the most cost-effective option: check availability and prices on the official website.

Opening Hours

Hadrian's Villa is generally open every day, with hours that shift by season: closing is later in summer and earlier in winter (indicative hours, check the official website). Last admission is usually around an hour to an hour and a half before closing.

Since the site is very large, it pays to arrive in the morning so you have plenty of time to explore at your own pace.

Free Admission

Admission is generally free on the first Sunday of the month (a national initiative for state-run museums) and on a few special dates. It's the most budget-friendly day, but also the busiest.

  • Buy online: to skip the line, especially on the first Sunday of the month.
  • Comfortable shoes, water and a hat: you'll walk a lot, with little shade.

Planning Your Day in Tivoli

The two villas differ in atmosphere and together fill an entire day: Hadrian's Villa (the imperial ruins, more time) in the morning and Villa d'Este (the Renaissance fountains) in the afternoon is the classic pairing. With a private driver, organizing it all becomes simple, with no worries about public-transport timetables.
