Visitors should bring comfortable, non-slip shoes for walking around the terraces, but note that footwear must be removed while on the travertines to preserve their delicate structure. Sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water are essential, as the area can get very sunny, especially in summer. Keep in mind that the thermal water pools are not uniform; some areas may be deeper or hotter than others, so proceed with caution.
