Cinecittà World
Rome's film theme park
In Rome and fancy a day full of action? South of the city lies Cinecittà World, the theme park of film and television. You step into film sets, ride the roller coaster with the most inversions in Italy and see a show every hour. The park is fun for the whole family.
What is Cinecittà World?
Cinecittà World was set up by Cinecittà, Rome's famous film studios. The park covers around 30 hectares and is partly outdoors and partly indoors. According to the park there are 40 attractions and six shows a day. The film sets were designed by Dante Ferretti, a three-time Oscar winner.
The park stands on the site of film producer Dino De Laurentiis's old Dinocittà studios, where spaghetti westerns were made in the 1960s. Films and TV programmes are still recorded there.
You walk through themed areas such as Cinecittà Street (1920s New York), Roma, Spaceland, Far West and Adventure Land. Your ticket also gets you into Roma World and the summer water park Aqua World, when they're open.
