Rome, Italy - 2020 Trip Historic Rome: Day Three – Tivoli, Lazio
During the autumn of 2020 I made a short trip for 5 days over to the city of Rome, Italy. At the time, due to the covid pandemic, flights and hotels were pretty cheap as tourism was virtually nonexistent in mainland Europe, Italy was one of the few places you could travel to with precaution and I must add everything went really smooth once I was there! temperature checks were in place at all attractions and masks were worn in public places during the day, everything felt safe and clean.
I had pre-booked tickets to some of the places I wanted to visit and in the end the trip turned out to be a kind of ‘historic Rome’ sightseeing tour! Italy on a whole is a fascinating place and Rome is like the centre hub of it all! this was not my first visit to Rome and as usual I can thoroughly recommend it – enjoy the photos! 🙂
It takes about a hour journey by train from Rome Termini station to Tivoli's Tiburtina Station and there's plenty to sightsee along the way!The exterior of Tivoli's Tiburtina train station set in the Sabine hillsA quick shot of hot expresso before heading into townThe way into Tivoli town is over the Ponte Pedonale della Pace (bridge) you can see in this photoThe view from Ponte Pedonale della Pace (bridge) and the river Aniene that runs underneath itWalking through the streets of Tivoli which is also known as a 'comune'The lovely old buildings of Tivoli, they remind me of the ones in VeniceStreet shrine on the corner of a old building in Tivoli, ItalyInteresting restaurant sign spotted in Tivoli, ItalyAntique drinking fountain with eagle carved in stone in Tivoli, ItalyClock tower in Piazza Rivarola, Tivoli, ItalyThe Piazza Rivarola in the old town Tivoli, ItalyWaterfall under the Ponte Gregoriano (bridge) Tivoli, ItalyLittle Waterfalls under the Ponte Gregoriano (bridge) Tivoli, ItalyLooking at some of the Regionale trains as I depart Tivoli's Tiburtina Station for Rome Termini station
