One of the highlights of our trip, especially with my teenage children.

Don’t try to use the Unilocal coupon. It doesn’t work. Bummer…
The tour is incredibly informative and muuuuch longer than we expected it to be, which I honestly believe would’ve been better tolerated had it been at the beginning of the day not after walking miles in the heat. Runs around an hour to hour and half with no place to sit until the end, so keep that in mind when planning.
Prepurchase tickets, then come back for the tour, because they do sell out. It’s definitely worth it, just plan accordingly.
Awesome presentation and limited to a small group for best viewing, which is nice.

How is it possible that the #1 rated attraction on the «other website» (tripadvisor) doesn’t even have a single review on Unilocal?
Time to change that!
The archeological remains of Rome’s ancient baths and houses have been uncovered below street level, this place once belonged to the great «domus» of ancient Rome.
What is different about this place from all the other ruins in Rome is they managed to integrate modern technology by presenting virtual reconstructions through graphics and videos — you can literally picture yourself as if you were taken back in imperial Rome. Walls, rooms, kitchens, decorations are seen in pure form and living color. All through the 1+ hour tour, I kept saying, «how did they do that?!»
The Palazzo is still fully operational and has government offices that surrounds the archeological museum. There are guards standing at the entrance that will question you, just tell them that you’re here to buy tickets or that you are taking the tour. We tried buying tickets online but their website isn’t very user friendly and very slow.
A very interesting history lesson for 9.50 euro/​person and kept us dry from the unpredictable weather! the only sad thing is, taking photos are not allowed inside.
