Equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II

Eigentlich ist es ja das Vittorano was man besucht. Dieses riesige Bauwerk was unter anderem die Reiterstatur Emanuel II beherbergt. Wunderbar anzuschauen. Sehr kunstvoll. Alles sauber. Oben zu stehen, hat schon was.
Also bitte notieren für Ihren Besuch.
Zur Zeit sehr viel Baustelle am Gebäude und um das Grundstück.

Beautiful building and statue BUT:

The workers here are running a scam for tickets to the top terrace.

They come up with any reason for your ticket to be “invalid” and then make you wait in line to get a “refund” which is just them giving you a slip with an email that you can message to in their words “try to get a refund”.

The line for refund slips is equally as long as the line for tickets.

It’s clear the workers have a way of pocketing the money when you “refund” the ticket yet you don’t actually get your cash back.

Obviously there’s a lot of tourist scams in Rome, but it’s sad that the workers at an actual government-backed tourist site are running one.

Very unfortunate because it’s a beautiful, beautiful site! I still recommend visiting, just not going to the very top or being VERY careful when buying tickets to the very top. Probably a good idea to just buy the most expensive tickets so they can’t tell you you bought the wrong ones.

For us we got the 18-25 yr old tickets and they said we had to be from the EU to use these tickets even though it says that no where on the sign, and there is a guy standing right next to the ticket machine, not helping people to choose the right tickets, but just waiting for them to buy the tickets and then telling them they bought the wrong ones and where to go to start the refund process.

Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because of the ticketing to go to the roof for a panoramic view. There are 2 queues for the panoramic view, standard and fast track and I will leave it at that.

Besides this, if you head over to the wall towards Colosseum you will be able to get a great view of the landscape.

Rome has started to implement capitalist system and this somewhat ruined the experience for me.

Massive statue of the first king of the unified Italy. Don't miss the chance to walk up the stairs for a closer look. There is no entrance fee!

The entrance is free and you can climb to the terrace from which you can see the whole city. There is also a small exhibition inside but a large part was closed, including the medium level terrace. There is an elevator which you can use to climb to the very top of the monument and it is totally worth it.

12 Euro für den Aufzug extra bis auf das Gebäude. Aber der Rundumblick über Rom unbezahlbar, einzigartig!!!

A must-see for a trip to Rome. Amazing place in the heart of the old town. Surrounded by monuments, basilicas contrasting with beautiful nature. A monumental building showing the power of the Roman Empire. Beautiful decorations, sculptures and views of old Rome and the Vatican. In the background the colosseum. Very clean, you can see that it is an important cultural point of Rome. I recommend that you see it with your own eyes even when passing through Rome.

Tolles Bauwerk am Piazza di Venezia. Zugang zu einer Dachterasse. Lift kostet 10€. Spitzname des Gebäudes ist „Die Schreibmaschine“. Auch der Innenbereich ist sehr schön. Zahlt sich aus für alle Rom Reisenden
