Villa Gregoriana - Plan Your Visit

Villa Gregoriana is a woodland park set in a steep river gorge, and the walk is closer to a hike than a stroll. This page covers tickets, park rules, facilities and access.

Villa Gregoriana - Ticket Information

Booking: You can buy tickets for Villa Gregoriana online before your visit. Booking ahead is the safer bet at weekends and on public holidays.

What's Included: Entry to the park and its trails, including the waterfall viewpoints, the grottoes and the temple area on the acropolis.

Villa Gregoriana - Visitor Guidelines

A few rules keep visitors safe and protect a fragile landscape.

Footwear: Wear comfortable shoes with non-slip rubber soles. The paths are steep and often damp.

Marked Paths: Stay on the signed route and viewing points at all times.

Children: Keep children close and hold their hands on the steeper sections.

Villa Gregoriana - Accessibility

The park sits in a deep gorge, and the main route has steep slopes, uneven ground and many steps. It's hard going for visitors with reduced mobility or heart and circulation problems.

The acropolis area around the temples has step-free access, so you can see it without tackling the full descent.

Strollers aren't practical on the route. A baby carrier works much better.

The park also offers easy-to-read guides and sign-language video guides.

Restrooms are available, and drinking fountains along the trail let you refill a water bottle.

The entrance (Largo Sant'Angelo) and the exit (by the Temple of Vesta) are at different points, so you won't pass the start again once you set off.

Bring water in summer. You can refill at the fountains along the way.
