Welcome To Rome

It was amazing experience! Great introduction to Roman history with help of modern technology. We could see the whole story of how Rome was created and how it grew over the centuries. Also got to know more about some of the monuments. Highly recommended to do it on your first day, before going to explore all the landmarks in person. Later during the tours it all made more sense thanks to what we got to know earlier.

This is an excellent introduction to the history of Rome. Not a boring recitation of past events but a lively contextualisation and visualisation of the rise, and fall, and rise of the eternal city. The clever combination of physical models, projections, film, narration, and music is cleverly done and immersive. The creators’ pride in their city is palpable and infectious. We did this experience toward the end of our stay in the city and I was a bit worried that it would have been better to do it before visiting the sights, but it turns out that this way round is perfect as it gives so much context to what you just saw. I highly recommend this experience.

We LOVED this experience. The 3D models are very captivating and mesmerizing while the ~30 min movie taught us so much interesting history about the all of Rome’s development. They also have awesome staff who were nice enough to issue a refund for an extra set of tickets we accidentally bought online. Definitely recommend!

Rome so many places to explore its just beautiful. To make best use of your time plan your visit in areas. Vatican, Gardens and Basilica and Castle Angelo are all together, it would be a very long day to fit all of these in maybe 2 days or a day and a half. The Coliseum, Palatine Hill and Roman forum are about an hours walk from the Vatican, so again plan these together, most tickets for the Coliseum allow you to visit Palatine and Roman forum the following day so a 2 day pass but the Coliseum is timed. Trevi fountain, Spanish steps and the main shopping district and lovely squares are all together. The closer you are to main attractions the more expensive restaurants and cafes are, walking a few minutes down a few lovely cobbled back streets there are lots of lovely more reasonable eating places. Look out for the aperitif offers a Bellini and Bruschetta for 10Euro lots of places do similar. Comfy trainers are a must. Enjoy

A must visit place. Centuries pass before your eyes as you learn the history of Rome. There is no other way to understand what Rome once was, and how it changed through time. From a little village atop of hill to a time when it ruled the world. From its fall at the hand of barbarians to a rebirth in renaissance, a vibrant past comes to life. All the ruins/temples/buildings you encounter will make much more sense once you see this show. A definite recommendation for first time visitors.

Today, I had the opportunity to visit this fascinating and enriching experience that traces the history of Rome from its very origins to the present day. I explored it with my family and was truly impressed by the advanced technologies used to illustrate Rome's historical timeline in great detail. This experience gave me a much deeper understanding of the city's many monuments, and I highly recommend it. The only downside is the lack of seating, which meant that at several points, we had to stand for extended periods. Aside from that, it was an outstanding and insightful experience.

Kudos to the young men working here. They were so patient & helpful! You pay for the tickets & receive an audio guide set to the language of your choice. Then another man directs you from room to room so you can learn the history of everything from the St. Peter’s basilica & colonnade to the Roman forum to the castle of Saint Angelo. You visit the cinema last which goes over the entire history of ancient Rome, starting with the parents of Romulus and Remus and the formation & then ups and downs of the Roman Empire. The final cinema felt a bit long at times, but only because there’s so much history to be covered. It’s the only part you sit down. I do understand the other reviews requesting a way to sit in the smaller rooms because after a while, you get a little tired standing to watch the individual smaller exhibits. I found this to be very educational and well worth the time. Great for kids and definitely follow the advice others who say that it is worth it to do this towards the beginning of your visit to Rome so you have a better understanding of the ruins that you see in current times.

A must for any new visitor in Rome! The light shows and the main projection are nothing short of wonderful. It makes you see in a deeper way every other attraction you will find in your visit, so in addition to the great experience we had a big additional value for the entire trip in the city.
