Cinecittà

Unique. Movie lovers will certainly enjoy the museum, but there's no access to sets o studios... I visited during a March 2024 weekend, so was able to visit (good guided tour) the Rome set.

Lovely place to spend a few hours learning about the history of Italian cinema and film production. This is still an active film studio with many productions staged concurrently. You may have the opportunity to tour or see sets from existing or upcoming shows or movies while visiting. Definitely email and book a reservation on the website to guarantee an English language tour. A serene place to get away from Rome a bit while visiting or even living here. Very convenient with a Metro A stop (Cinecittà) and a parking garage both across from the entrance gate.

Great place to learn about cinema and it's vast history

For films fans. You can see some of the outdoors set, and one empty indoor one. Interesting guided tour.

Beautiful place to visit. The MIAC museum is also a must see.

Definitely a place to visit. Cinecittà is the history of movie making. We visited the outdoor sets and got to know how they are produced along with a few tricks that they use to make things more realistic and save money. There are also a few exhibitions that are worth a visit. The interactive exhibition is particularly interesting and allows you to play with costumes act with a green screen etc.

Hands down, one of the best experiences of my life! Attended a private party at Cinecittà Studios, with DJ Blondie on the decks; open bar available; bottomless bar...I still can’t get over this. This is the perfect venue to host an event, with character. We were welcomed like Queens; gifted togas and Roman accessories to take home with us; and the grounds itself was epic!

A cool place to spent some time. You need to visit Cinecitta World to get the whole cake !!! Overall it's fun!!!

if you love italian cinema, this is a great place to hit. Many years ago I went to Cinecitta from the Colosseum by rail. I got off the train and before long I found a sidewalk with Anna Magnani's star on it. I zoomed off, but It took me a while to find the front gate as I ended up walking around the parameter of Cinecitta. When I got to the gate I asked if there was a tour, but no one understood what I meant. I was eventually helped by an English speaking employee, and she was able to translate what I meant when I asked if they had a tour, "like they have at Universal Studios." No such tour existed, and we all had a laugh when they were told what Universal Studios's tour was like. I am harpy to say that the tour now exists, and that it is amazing. It is thankfully not like Universal Studios, by the way. Be prepared to walk. And enjoy all of the sets from the great Italian cinema.

There are times when I love children and times when I dislike them. Coming to Cinecittà on a day when the tour group was full of children brought me to the latter. Please, for the sake of goodness and truth, leave your frantic kids at the arcade or mall or with your local fruittivendolo if they are easily bored and prefer to jump around things and run around people. But I digress. A visit to Cinecittà is a MUST for anyone who loves film. I happen to be completely obsessed with film (more so than music, surprisingly), so I found Rome's premier movie studio thoroughly enchanting, passionate and even romantic. The sets for 'Gangs of New York,' a film I love from one of my favorite directors of all time, and the multi-million dollar recreation of Ancient Rome for HBO's 'Rome' were definite highlights of this trip. Then there's the famous balcony from 'Romeo and Juliet' that warmed our hears like few architectural structures could. The exhibition Cinecittà Si Mostra (Cinecittà Shows Off) was quite brilliant as well, though I wouldn't come here just for that. With music and lighting effects, lots of props and first-hand accounts from actors and directors, it's an exhibit full of movie history. The only downside (besides the children, if they should be there) is that the tour is only in Italian, making it difficult for foreigners to follow along, and you cannot visit the sets without participating in a guided tour. Even if you don't understand the language, you can still follow along ('Gangs of New York' in italiano e' anche 'Gangs of New York' - cosi' conveniente). I would recommend that everyone opt for the tour (show your Metro ticket for two euros off). It was film that inspired me to change careers, fall in love and live life to its fullest. This is where so much of it is made.
