Tivoli from Rome question please
 

We'll be arriving Rome @ 8:40 am, renting a car and driving from Rome to Amalfi Coast, Is it feasable to tour Tivoli on that day since it will be our only chance. I think Tivoli is about an hours drive north-east of Rome is this accurate? We'll need plenty of daylight time to drive to Ravello, info would be appreciated.

ops..excuse the sp'l that's feasible of course!

Hello Donna,<BR><BR>Yes it's quite feasible. An hour's drive along the Via Tiburtina is about right if you're starting from the city centre, - less if you're lucky.<BR><BR>Villa Adriana is only a few miles from the G.R.A (ringroad), so you're soon on the autostrada south from there.<BR><BR>Steve<BR><BR>P.S. Villa d'Este is closed on Mondays.

Thanks Steve, do you have an ideal how much time it will divert from our orignal itinerary (Rome to Ravello) to tour Tivoli. I want to be in Ravello before sunset. What do you think, is it worth the effort?

Donna - If it's you're only chance to visit I would definitely do it! <BR>You'd need a full morning to visit both Villa d'Este and Villa Adriana.<BR>(Villa d'Este is in town, and Villa Adriana about 3 miles out).<BR><BR>You don't need to spend much time in the town itself unless you decide to have lunch there.<BR><BR>You should probably aim to leave by 2p.m to arrive in Ravello before sunset.<BR><BR>Hope this helps ...<BR><BR>Steve<BR><BR>P.S. A correction to what I said above:<BR>It's the main A1 autostrada (not the G.R.A) which passes near Tivoli.
