Tivoli Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Tivoli is 30km east of Rome and is accessible by Cotral bus from outside the Ponte Mammolo station on metro line B. Buses depart at least every 20 minutes and the one-hour journey costs €1.60 (€3.20 return). Tivoli is covered by a Zone 3 BIRG ticket (€6).

To get to Villa Adriana from Tivoli’s town centre, take the CAT bus 4 or 4X (€1, every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday, every 70 minutes Sunday) from Largo Garibaldi. The trip takes 10 minutes – ask the driver to stop at the entrance to the villa.

By car you can either take Via Tiburtina or, to save yourself some time, the Rome–L’Aquila autostrada (A24).

From Tivoli, buses to Rome leave from outside the decommissioned tourist information office on Piazza Garibaldi. It’s also possible to catch a bus to Ponte Mammolo station from outside Villa Adriana (€1.60, Monday to Saturday). The stop is opposite the children’s playground on the street outside the villa. These buses travel via Prenestina and can take a bit longer than the more direct bus from Tivoli itself.
