Is Baths of Caracalla worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Baths of Caracalla earns the hours.

Allow 1–1.5 hrs.

Vast brick walls that still soar overhead give a real sense of imperial scale, and it's blissfully uncrowded compared with the Forum. The trade-off is that it takes imagination (or the optional VR headset) to picture the marble splendour that's long gone.
