Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We visited on 07.02 on an english guided tour by the AMAZING Sara M. The place is just wonderful and the staff is very welcoming. We went there on a recommendation that if we liked the Sistine Chapel we would like palazzo Colonna even more - absolutely! The tour is long around 1.5 - 2 hours but if you are lucky enough to have Sara as your guide it will feel like half of that. Definitely a must see location if you are ever in Rome.

    If you’re looking for a museum that will provide history Beyond the masses, this is it. Rome conquered the Etruscan people, and improved their existing civilization. If you are a history buff, this is a “don’t miss” museum in the heart of Rome. In 2 hours you can take your knowledge of the Roman Empire back another thousand years. It’s very enlightening, and unique.

    I strongly recommend visiting it. Any penny spent on it is worth it. There are a lot of paintings, a lot of architecture, and a lot of experiments... Must be visit again.

    Gigantic monument in honor of Vittorio Emanuelle II, the father of Italy. Some people don't like the grandiose style, but it is undeniable that it is impressive.
    Contains the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with the Eternal Flame.
    You can visit its large space, climb hundreds of steps for a fabulous view over Rome. To access the terrace you can go up an elevator but you have to pay. The ticket is expensive as it includes the visit to the Palazzo. Venice.
    From the terrace you have an absolutely spectacular 360 degree view over the entire city.
    If you can, go at sunset, a magical experience.
    Don't miss a visit to this grand monument.

    Possibly it is fantastic first time here, but this time, I don’t know, maybe too many people, didn’t get the wow feeling it deserves.
    It is part of the Vatican Museum ticket and take your time to have a look.
    It is my forth time and certainly not the last.
    Next time I come even earlier.

    Small museum but worth the visit if you have time to spare. Some exhibits interactive, audiovisual room excellent but one audiovisual room disappointingly out of order. Unfortunately, carpeted floor created very unpleasant smell due to humidity. Still, if you're a da Vinci fan it's a short, interesting visit.

    Fascinating story of survival over many centuries enduring ghettoization and deportation/murder, the Jewish community is still an active part of Rome. The synagogue itself, built in the early 1900s, is impressive and the guides are knowledgeable and friendly.

    This unique monument has its own museum built around it.
    It has been tastefully restored and is well worth a visit.
    Friezes and sculptures adoring the walls are quite beautiful

    Many illusions and games to do with the younger ones. We have been here in a rainy day and it was a perfect choice. There are nice games also for adults and it’s definitely worth visiting. The staff is also very gentle and welcoming and help you with some tough games too :))

    Wasn't sure what to expect after reading reviews but I honestly loved this place. If we hadn't had plans to visit other places in Rome I would still be in playing Metal Slug 2.

    Fantastic and could see my journey though gaming here and when I started with Orange box.

    If in Rome and you fancy something slightly different totally recommend and they have a big daddy statue. I know they have some impressive statues here in Rome but to me this was extra special.

    If you are interested in history and archeology... will admire. Huge old statues, 15th to last century paintings, can barge into ancient Roman palace and old tomb stones, sarcophagus...

    After spending three days ticking off the main attractions in Rome, husband persuaded me and junior it would be worth the bus ride out of the centre to visit here. He can't go past a car museum at the best of times and he is a police officer himself, not to mention a Fiat fan. The bus ride from Via del Corso took about 20 minutes and dropped us just a few minutes walk from the museum. After fighting our way through the Vatican etc, it was so enjoyable to spend some time in a peaceful museum where the staff were genuinely pleased to have interested visitors, even if we don't speak Italian. All manner of quirky vehicles on display, like trikes with snow tracks, from the 50's to present day, but quite a few of them looked unusual enough for me and junior to stay interested. There wasn't a huge amount of information and it was all in Italian, apart from a few lines in the leaflet, but we managed to figure out a few things. It was just us and a school group when we visited.

    Someone had to be dragged out of the office to sell us a souvenir mug but he then happily offered to take photos of us all together on a motorbike that you are allowed to sit on. So after 4 days in Rome the only family photo we have is of us all posed around a motorbike.

    Why this place doesn't get a mention in Lonely Planet and the like I do not understand.

    The museo del muro comprises the top two floors of the Porta San Sebastiano, one of the best preserved gates on the Aurelian walls with views down the Appian way

    Entrance is free although donations are welcome

    It is well worth visiting with a climb to the top and walk along the old walls worth the effort.
