Discover Florence
Florence - Firenze - is many things; the heart of Tuscany, a Renaissance jewel, a true city of art. It's home to the Uffizi, one of the oldest museums in the world, and the Accademia, home to one of the most famous statues in the world - David. The incredible Cathedral - Duomo dominates the skyline, with Brunelleschi's fabulous dome - cupola, and Giotto's mighty clock-tower - campanile.

Discover Rome
Rome - Roma - is the Classical city of the Forum, the Pantheon and the Colosseum. It is pagan temples, early Christian Churches, Renaissance Basilicas, the Vatican of course. Rome is an architectural masterclass in the Classical, the Romanesque and all flavours of Gothic architecture, of the Baroque. And it is the romantic city of the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.

Domus Aurea.
Tours and packages.
Nero's 'Golden House' is still only open at weekends, and still may only be explored as part of a guided tour. The recently included virtual reality sections give an amazing insight into Ancient Roman life.
“The tour guide was excellent. We have visited the Domus Aurea before but did not clearly understand its design. Your tour guide explained everything very well. Please pass on our thanks”.

After many years of stop-start restoration it is finally possible to see some of this incredible place, albeit it in a limited fashion for the time being, and only as part of a guided tour. Emperor Nero's 'Golden House' was a staggeringly large and ornate palace, built in the heart of Rome as a place for pure entertainment, an estimated 300 rooms, none of which were for sleeping. The size is an estimate, as large areas remain unexcavated.
Domus Aurea, Rome
Restoration is ongoing but at least there's now the possibility of seeing how things are progressing, as part of an official guided tour. Work largely stops at weekends and we're able to offer limited spaces on guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays. Please click on the calendar to see what's currently available.
We try to arrange many different tours that take in the Domus Aurea, but availability is very limited - please use our calendar above to check what's available. We have some visitor information and history on this page.
In 2023 the Domus closed for one month to allow for the setting-up of a special exhibition focusing on the close ties between Nero's Rome and Ancient Egypt, manifested most notably in the worship and cult of Isis. As is usual in Italy the ticket price increases to cover the cost of any running exhibition. The exhibition runs until January 2024 - read more on our blog.

22nd Jul 2024Excellent tour. Very informative...5 starsFranny, United States
27th May 2024If I could give it more stars, I would. This is one of the hidden gems of Rome. The research and technology. behind this museum is exceptional, including virtual reality. You are transported to the past, right there, where it happened and a very knowledgeable guide is there with you along the way to explain everything.I wish all the monuments had something like this. It has some of the oldest Roman structures available, including the oldest dome. Amazing experience, you have to see it if you go to Rome. And even better, since not many people know about it, it is a small group, not the crowded place you see everywhere in Rome.5 starsJC, Ireland
14th May 2024Enjoyed it immensely. Difficulty finding Domus Aurea - more signage needed. The 3D presentation was outstanding. Well worth a visit.5 starsAC, United States
29th Mar 2024The Domus Aurea is amazing. Tickets are sold for only 25 visitors at a time, with timed entry. They sell out very, very quickly. So to get tickets, it is critical to use a reliable ticketing company that will be on top of it. Otherwise you risk either being locked out of them, so you will have to spend a lot of time checking and re-checking the Domus Aurea site to see when tickets come up for sale. Better to let tickitaly do that. I highly recommend tickitaly and will use them again when I visit Italy.
After many years of being closed due to instability, many areas of the Domus Aurea - Nero's Golden House in Rome - are once more open to visitors. Restoration work is ongoing and, until works are finished, these tours only run at weekends.
A fully-guided tour (that also includes some state-of-the-art virtual reality elements) is run by our own expert guides - you can get a glimpse of what to expect in this short video.
