Enter via the Piazza Venezia gate — the visit route runs one-way from here. This part of the complex, the monument itself, is freely accessible and doesn't use up any part of the ticket. ID may be requested at entry.

The covered colonnade on the route toward the elevator. First point where the ticket QR code is scanned.

Glass elevator to the rooftop terrace. 360° views over the Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Via del Corso, with St. Peter's visible on clear days. This is a single-entry stop — no coming back later for a second look, so budget enough time here the first time.

Reached from within the same building. Uniforms, weapons, and artifacts from Italian unification, plus any temporary exhibitions on at the time of the visit.

A short walk from the Vittoriano exit — entrances at Piazza San Marco 49 or Via del Plebiscito 118. Renaissance palace museum with sculpture, paintings, and decorative arts. Also single-entry, so plan to see it fully in one visit.

A shaded courtyard with an 18th-century fountain — a natural, low-effort place to end the visit
