![]() ![]() There are only 30 places, so be sure to buy tickets in advance on the official website. The Lovers Balcony (the balcony behind the waterfall) is accessible only with a guided tour. The park and waterfall schedule changes every month! Do not believe the reviews that say to arrive at 11, or at 15, or at 20 - check the schedule yourself on the official website! If you are that rare traveler from the Sulmona or L'Aquila, go straight to Marmore.Ī train ticket gives a discount on a ticket to the park - 8€ instead of 10. To the lower one it is more convenient to get from Terni by bus (on the Trenitalia website choose the stop Cascata delle Marmore), and to the upper one – by train (get off at Marmore stop). Marmore is located near the city of Terni (which is ~1 hour by train from Rome). It is walkable, but a rather long walk on the side of the road to get to the starting point. It will be on the right side of the road and about 800 meters from the caves. You will have to go about double the distance from the caves than what it says (the location of the cave on the side of the mountain). if you try to get to the Valadier Temple (Tempio del Valadier) the google map location for it is not accurate for the start of the trailhead. The locals are so friendly, but some of them don’t speak English so it’s a great opportunity to practice your Italian! My heart is still in the mountains there. ![]() Try the dishes with truffles in them! Also, vincisgrassi (the regional version of lasagne) is delicious. Also, the surrounding town is beautiful, you can take a nice stroll alongside the river. These caves should be one of the natural wonders in the world. It was a magical experience and this has been my favorite experience in Italy, maybe even my life. His English is great and learning about the formations was really interesting. My tour guide, Michele, was very knowledgeable and painted a vivid picture of the discovery of the caves. All in all, I felt that the 22€ price tag was a bit steep and maybe for kids of between the ages of 4 and 10 it might be interesting but other than that pretty underwhelming!Īmazing experience. Last but not least we took a 5 minute ride on the mono-rail around the park. We then went for the parrot experience which was 2 large beautiful parrots that sat on the metal cage screaming. Then we went on the boat trip around mini Venice, quite nice but nothing amazing. Maybe for very young Italian kids it would be OK. We then wondered round to see what else the park offered, not much! We took a ride on the Pinocchio ride which took about 2 minutes and the story was told only in Italian and felt very dated. We spent about 45 minutes walking around the part of the park with the miniature building from all over Italy which were well made and interesting for us as we have visited many of the places. We then went in quite quickly without queues, probably due to covid. A little bit outside Rimini we arrived to find ample paid parking (3€ per day). We felt like a bit of a change from visiting the beach so we found this place. ![]()
