How the ticket works

You enter the Villa of the Quintilii (Villa dei Quintili) with the Appia Antica Archaeological Park ticket. As a rule the same ticket is valid for other sites in the park too, in particular the Tomb of Cecilia Metella and the Capo di Bove area, for a couple of days: a great way to discover the Via Appia Antica over several stops. Fares and validity are indicative, so check the official website.

Sample fares

  • Full-price ticket for the Appia Antica circuit (valid for the included sites).
  • Reduced rate for the categories set by law.
  • Free admission under the rules for state museums (e.g. the first Sunday of the month, under-18s).

Prices are indicative: check the current amount on the official website.

Practical tips

  • Make the most of the combined ticket: one entry covers both the Villa dei Quintili and Cecilia Metella.
  • Plan your time: the site is large and surrounded by greenery, so allow at least a couple of hours.
  • Bring water and a hat: there's little shade, especially in summer.
  • Check the right entrance: there's access from the Via Appia Nuova and one from the Via Appia Antica.
  • With a driver you move easily between the park's sites, which lie far apart.

What you'll see with your ticket

The ticket gives you access to the monumental baths, the nymphaeum, the villa's rooms and the antiquarium in the farmhouse. For the full rundown, see what to see at the Villa dei Quintili.
