Rome! Memorable! - Rome is a memorable experience, especially for those who love church, culture, history and nature. Each square and every church needs a few hours to taste everything they can offer.

A visit to "minus 10 meters" - An unexpected surprise to see what the Roman Piazza Navona was like: a visit about 10 meters below the current layer which explains the Stadium of Domitian in great detail.

Nice underground museum - A very nice museum showing the stadium that originally stood in the Piazza Navona. (And because it is underground, it’s cooler than walking in the hot sun!)

Excellent historical visit! - Very interesting and fact full exhibition! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Italy/Rome! Lasted over an hour and could have lasted longer as you can go at your own pace with a recorded information tour to listen too at each area you get too. Was great to see parts of the old stadium, this is a must visit for tourists! We stumbled upon this by chance whilst walking past, and I would recommend to anyone! Very good and pricing was good at only €12 each which we bought on the door! Get there early to avoid any ques, (like most places in Rome we’ve realised since being here, I’d recommend to do this at most tourist spots as it’s a lot quieter in the mornings) we got there at 9.50am and went straight in at 10am!

Amazingly educational - At the amazing underground excavation of the Stadium of Domitian under the Piazza Navona in Rome. This exhibit is highly educational and well worth your time to visit. An overview of Ancient Roman history, culture and architecture.

Not worth it - They just hiked up the price of the ticket. If you go in to the museum and buy your ticket at the desk, you can get in for around 8€. Audio guide and everything is included.
