Augustus’ palace

After decades of restoration, the garden and some of the public spaces of Emperor Augustus’ palace on Palatine Hill in Rome, Italy, have reopened to the public. The 2,000-year-old palace is next to the House of Livia, built for Augustus’ wife. (Inquire about times of tours visiting the garden and receiving hall.)

Open 8:30-4:30 (depending on season). Palatine Hill tickets cost €10 ($15) for same-day admission to the palace, Colosseum and Roman Forum (entry to which as of March 10 is no longer free). The ticket center is at the Largo Romolo e Remo. Phone 06-39967700.
