Wonderful & informative
Sep 2021
Go with a guide. It's amazing to see what the Romans did here. The immensity of the place is breath taking. 6-8000 Roman citizens a day. Cleanliness was important to the citizens of Rome. You need to reserve your tickets on line. A guide would be helpful

Great concert venue
Jan 2020
We attended a concert at Caracalla. Truly a great place for concerts. While watching the concert you are in the middle of history.

Fascinating insight into ancient Rome
Dec 2019
These ruins are extraordinary both in size and in structure. Likely built between 212 & 217 AD, these incredible baths were in use until the 530s and were at one time the city's second largest Roman public baths. This place is incredible and without doubt one of my favourite places in Rome and if we hadn't had been on the purple route of the Big Bus tour, we would never had know about it. And to have missed it would have been a great shame as it gives a grand insight into the life of the ancient romans. Set slightly from the rest of the humdrum of Rome, we were two of only a handful of visitors but can be reached by walking from Circus Maximus in about 15 minutes. I thoroughly recommend the audio tour as there is a lot to learn, along with a great deal to see. You'll need to leave a photo ID for the guides which is returned on your way out.

A view of Roman life and culture
Feb 2020
The experience of the Roman baths gives a different side to life in Ancient Rome. They have virtual goggles, but I choose the audio guide but would have done the goggles if I had seen them. It is not so far from the station near FAO, an easy walk and pleasant in the morning. The ruins are massive even though not much is left of the structure you get the idea of the grandeur of the place. I would do this over the colosseum any day.

Audioguide!
Aug 2019
Audioguide is a must for this place! Not much left but ruins! But still worth a visit! It's also not as crowded as other places like Colosseum.

Low season visit to Rome
Feb 2020
This museum is part of the Roma pass free entry (2 free entries to museums for a 72-hour pass). Mostly ruins left of what must have been a substantial building, to fully apricated the lieu you must take at least the audio guide (don’t forget an identity card , I left my driving licence , its not a good idea to leave a passport), Virtual head sets are available but you need to reserve them in advance.

Worth a visit if you like ruins
Feb 2020
Only ruins are left in this place, but quite a lot and quite interesting ruins, if you are into this type of attraction. Audioguide is a must, otherwise you won't learn anything from just staring at those old walls.

Deep they delved us, high they builded us, but now they are gone
Feb 2020
In many ways these are the most imposing ruins in Rome. As with many imperial remains, it's hard to to what went on where, but their sheer size and extent cast a spell. Practically deserted mid-week in February.

Baths of Caracalla-Not to be missed.
Jan 2020 • Couples
These baths could handle 6000 bathers at the same time. Read the history and you will be utterly amazed. Plus the way the water flowed and was heated was a art. The whole area is good to see.

Awe inspiring without the crowds
Feb 2020
This was a fascinating place, the sheer size of it is astounding & to think how old the mosaics are is outrageous. I just wish we had had more time here, it was a bit unclear what time it shut, we went on a Monday & we were kicked out at (1pm or 2pm I can't remember) there are information boards dotted about which were useful and the best part was it was so quiet! I definitely recommend going, but perhaps aim to get there for when in opens so you have plenty of time to explore.
