Villa D’Este: Entry Ticket

It's easy to get stuck exploring the charming galleries and museums of Rome, and forget that there's plenty of culture to be found outside the confines of _The Eternal City_. Villa d’Este, an hour east of the capital in Tivoli, is a perfect example. This 16th-century villa is famous for its masterpiece Italian Renaissance garden, featuring beautiful fountains, statues and grottoes.
