Venture beyond Rome to discover Italy’s most surreal garden: Bomarzo’s Sacro Bosco, also known as the Park of the Monsters. This “anti-Renaissance” woodland was crafted in the 16th century by Prince Vicino Orsini from volcanic rock, featuring enormous sculptures of dragons, elephants, mythical creatures, and the famous Ogre’s Mouth, all designed to amaze and inspire along its shaded trails. The park exudes a “dark fairytale” ambiance, attracting modern artists like Salvador Dalí, and is often associated with avant-garde figures such as Marcel Duchamp and André Breton. More recently, Tim Burton has been linked to the Sacro Bosco’s eerie, cinematic atmosphere.
After exploring the park, visit Bomarzo’s medieval hilltop village, with its stone streets, arches, and stunning views over Tuscia. Tickets for the park and lunch are included; choose between VIP Private (door-to-door) or Standard (train + transfers) options.
