So both are spectacular, but in different ways. Being inside the waterfall is a very unusual experience, I liked it :)įrom the lower viewpoint you can see the entire waterfall, from the upper one you can see only one cascade, but closer. If you also have shoe covers, it's perfect :)) The tour lasts an hour and ends somewhere halfway between the upper and lower viewpoints. You get wet in a second!! You can buy a raincoat in the park for 1€, but I recommend bringing your own reusable one so you don't have to worry about the think flimsy plastic one.
If you do not speak Italian, you can either try your luck and ask to speak English (it helped us!), or go to Wiki (all the info is there). You will meet near the lower viewpoint, and first the guide will tell you about the waterfall itself. There are only 30 places, so be sure to buy tickets in advance on the official website. The Lovers Balcony (the balcony behind the waterfall) is accessible only with a guided tour. The park and waterfall schedule changes every month! Do not believe the reviews that say to arrive at 11, or at 15, or at 20 - check the schedule yourself on the official website! If you are that rare traveler from the Sulmona or L'Aquila, go straight to Marmore.Ī train ticket gives a discount on a ticket to the park - 8€ instead of 10. To the lower one it is more convenient to get from Terni by bus (on the Trenitalia website choose the stop Cascata delle Marmore), and to the upper one – by train (get off at Marmore stop).
Marmore is located near the city of Terni (which is ~1 hour by train from Rome). Car parking was €5/day, I saw many park their cars just outside on the road to avoid that charges. The offer where we can register to come back for free at €1/person was an added bonus. The cost for 3 photos from the Giochiamo insieme alle foche was €20 which was a bit expensive. Food at Caffe Allegria was acceptable for the cost charged. The cost of storage locker was a bit steep at €5 for small and €10 for a large locker. The online ticket gives you a good discount and to skip the line at the ticket counter.
They screened the movie even though there was only like 10 of us in the theater. Giochiamo insieme alle foche (play with seals) at €20/person was okay- the kids got to touch the seal a few times and learnt about their habitat etc., The 4D show was more of 3D and physical distancing was enforced in the theater with every other two seats being cordoned off. A few of the rides/attractions were closed, including the roller coaster, blue river, dinosaur park etc., The dolphin show was spectacular. It wasn't crowded when we went on a Monday.
