Amazing views and free museum. There is no other city in the world like Rome. And Appia Antica is one of a kind.

This museum definitely is "must visit". Incredible atmosphere is inside the walls. Great experience to feel like a keeper of Rome ? There's a space for the exhibitions inside as well. The museum is absolutely free, you don't need to buy any ticket. The entrance is on the left side behind the arc. Working hours are from 9am till 2pm (except Mondays). It would be hard to visit it with a baby carriage as there are many stairs inside and often they're narrow and steep

My visit was a real pleasure! More than a "traditional" museum, it is an historical place, where you are let wonder around completely free (and entrance is also always free of charge). You can climb all the way up in the door of the walls and you'll get views on the lushy countryside/via Appia, as well as on different surrounding neighborhoods, of which you'll be able to recognise some main buildings (and the panels there will help you spot them, trees and vegetation cover permitting, in the summer). Then you can walk along/inside quite a long stretch of walls, on the other side a very nicely kept private garden, and there's even a piece of frescoes. To enter you have to ring and they will open the door for you; up the first set of stairs staff is sitting in a small room and will give you a brief explanation, the free tickets and plastic reusable/refillable bottles to use in the many Roman drinking fountains too! (At least, when I was visiting.) Finally, the toilets were available and clean, and only a few people were visiting.

A nice stop to make if you can spare some time. The Aurelian wall is beautiful and pretty well tended. You can go around up to the top and also walk a part through it. There are some panels and a few scale models that give you some info. There's ac and also bathrooms inside. The entry is free but it's nice they have a small donations box so we can help keep it well attended. I was amazed the maintenance was a big thumbs up even though there is no entry fee. It's a bit tricky to arrive by foot! The sidewalk is fairly little so you have to be mindful of the cars!

My wife and I chose this museum on a free day in Rome, and we were not disappointed. The place is free and self guided, so it was a very relaxing place to spend a couple of hours marveling at these ancient Roman walls. The excellent restrooms were appreciated in a city that doesn't seem to have many public facilities. We really enjoyed the visit.
