Bring water and some snacks. They don't really sell much within the site, and prices can be a bit steep. I got super thirsty and wished I had stocked up before entering!

Check for discount tickets online before you go; I saved a few bucks. I purchased mine from an app, and it made the entrance smooth and easy for me.

First off, get there early! I mean like 8 AM if you can. It was much less crowded then, and I really enjoyed the peace of walking through the ancient ruins without tons of people.

I recommend bringing some snacks and water. There weren't many places to grab a bite around, and you'll want energy to explore more.

I think it’s wise to check the weather before you go. It was super hot when I visited, and I wished I had a hat or sunscreen!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes—it’s a bit of a trek to get there, and the stones can be slippery!

I suggest you get there early, around 8 AM, so you can enjoy the sunrise and avoid the big crowds. The view from the theater is stunning

I think you should check out the nearby Castle of St... Peter too... It’s not far and gives a cool contrast to the mausoleum... Plus, combo tickets can save you a few bucks!

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 8 AM. The light and fewer crowds make for great photos and a calm experience. Trust me, it's worth it.
