Trying to See The Gardens of Villa d’Este

Public fountain near a children’s park.

Well, we tried. But, the line was too long for my liking. Instead, we enjoyed the boardwalk along the panoramic view over the plains, and we caught a glimpse of the edge of the Villa d’Este gardens. That will be enough for me. I will enjoy the online photos.

We also enjoyed the fountains that were in the public bathroom park.

In the center of the photo is the edge of Villa d’Este.

We also enjoyed getting out of Tivoli. There are too many tourists and this is just spring. Wait till the summer!

The line to get in to Villa d’Este.

In looking for parking, we had a nice drive (the driver shudders) through the center of Tivoli. Cute. Just like so many other Italian towns.

There is actually a hotel in the middle of the Villa d’Este gardens. I wonder how nice that would be to stay in?

Tivoli Amusement Park Open for Halloween

An otherworldly park caught in the spirit of Halloween.

Tivoli is almost open all year round. This fall they are open for Halloween. The park is great and I enjoy it in all its moods and costumes. The park fills a whole city park and is smack in the center of the city. Lots of things to do, eat, and buy. Enchanted tourism!
