Do not wait for 20 minutes in line , just peek at it through the gates, it will be enough (even for a photo). Don't touch that filfy mouth!

Margherita B.

Cool place made famous by the movie 'Roman Holiday ', but expect it to be touristy and with a long queue to take a picture with it

Taras Kobets

It's hidden but the queue outside will tell you that place is popular. It's free but you can make a donation at any amount you want. Read the legend to know why everyone put their hand in the mouth.

Bruna M.

If you have time left during your visit in Rome, go there. The line is huge but fast. Read about the legend . Get inside the church to check on San Valentine’s skull.

Miloš

Ok it's cool to stick your hand and take a photo but is it worth standing in line for more than 20min? Nope

Andrew Leckie

Is the story true or just a myth? Ask that liar Rick Allen from Def Leppard... he lost a whole arm to the Bocca della Verità and his life was changed forever!

Thomas Craenen

If you really want a roman holiday , queue up a bit and ask the nice man checking on the queue to take your picture.

Ana M.

It is not worth staying in a huge line only to take a picture! Go explore Rome, there are many more interesting things to see!

Vova Novaque

Do your beat to come at 9:30 when it opens. Otherwise too big queue to wait.

Jubair

Famous movie scene from Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn was shot here. Usually takes about 20 mins in queue .

Ayca

Before telling to children about the mouth of truth, take into consideration that there is a long waiting queue with stinky small area

Guz Forster

The opportunity to touch a millennial old piece of art and culture is priceless

Carlo M

Make sure you sanitize your hand after touching La Bocca Della Verita!

Konstantina

Overrated. It's just a round carved stone and huge lines of tourists waiting to shoot a selfie in front of it. Go to the church next door: it's actually very interesting to see.

Stacy Bo Bacy

The yawning maw of this pagan visage is said to bite off the hands of liars .

Sidira Kuria

Nothing special and with a long queue . Probably, just to get tourists ' interest. I don't understand why the fuzz. ????

Andrei Aghi

I recomend this only if you are passing by this area. It is nothing special. Remember that the entrance is for free.

Stavros Vassos

Put your hand in the mouth of truth, and better say the truth otherwise nothing is guaranteed.

Zineta Emini

Long queue , but as I like the legend , I didn't mind waiting for a photo.

Léo

You must say the truth, nothing but the truth, otherwise...

Cyndie Da Rocha

Expect to queue when you go there

Johannes Driessen

Long queues . Take a quick look through the bars and then get out of there. Too many tourists

Adrijana Husić

Ok but is it worth standing in a queue to have a photo?

Kevin Schoonover

Don’t go in the late afternoon, the pictures will come out poor.

Stefania Adorni

Chiude alle 17.50

Una enorme máscara de mármol de fama mundial. En realidad es una boca de alcantarilla que se hizo famosa por la película Vacaciones en Roma ???? mejor visitar la Iglesia de al lado

Marcelo Glauco

Perto do circo Massimo. Pequena igreja onde na sua frente possui à boca da verdade. Vale a pena pela curiosidade. Se a pessoa não for verdadeira e justa ao enfiar a mão na boca da estatua à perderá.

Лев Вольфсон

Длиннющая очередь туристов , на входе по желанию можно оставить денежку. Бонус-проход в базилику и спуск в катакомбы. И конечно, магия фильма Римские каникулы в подарок :)

Aslıhan Aktaş Güney

Roman Holiday filmi bizim için çok kıymetli ve buraya özellikle geldik, bu anı canlandırmak bile muhteşemdi. Efsaneye göre yalan söylerseniz elinizi kaparmış ağız, biz çok dürüst olunca kurtulduk ????

Marianna Carbo

Siempre hay muchos visitantes; pero la fila avanza rápido; es gratuita la entrada, pero si tu quieres puedes otorgar una gratificación

Jesbos

Sí sólo pasas dos o tres días en Roma, no pierdas el tiempo en la cola para hacerte una foto con la mano en la Bocca, Hay otras cosas mucho más interesantes!!

Fоursquаrе по-русски

По преданию, Уста Истины сомкнутся навсегда, если положивший в них руку человек солжет в клятве. Вы можете поклясться самому себе, к примеру, сменить работу на более интересную и высокооплачиваемую.

Secondo una leggenda i bugiardi, inserendo una mano all'interno della cavità orale del mascherone, resterebbero monchi. In antichità si trattava di un tombino di una divinità fluviale. Read more

사진만 찍고 나오지 마시고 성당 내부를 살짝 구경하고 나오셔도 좋겠습니다. 이 성당은 그 유명한 '발렌타인 데이'의 그 성인 '세인트 발렌티노'를 기념하기 위한 성당이라네요 ^^

Nil B.

Wer es glaubt, anstellen. Ansonsten durch das Gitter einfach ein Foto gemacht.

Pablo Gonzalez

Subestimado el lugar. Un recuerdo que sin problema se puede pasar de fotografiar en Roma.

Laís Rosito

Tem uma fila , mas anda rápido! Impossível não se sentir Audrey Hepburn ❤❤❤

Óscar J. Baeza

Sólo se puede hacer una foto por persona. Totalmente prescindible más allá de la foto de rigor.

Francisco Loncq

Demasiada espera para una foto no tan especial, si no se cuenta con mucho tiempo en la ciudad es mejor evitar esta visita y visitar atracciones mas importantes.

D V

Толпы по очереди японцев делают фото и сэлфи, засовывая руку в сливное отверстие римской канализации, которым исторически была эта маска ;))

“La princesa que quería vivir”: Joe lleva a Ana (Audrey Hepburn) a conocer la máscara . El pone su mano y queda manco ante la atónita mirada de Hepburn, quien cree que su compañero ha perdido su mano .

Ana Gómez

La cloaca más famosa del mundo? ????????????!! Me encanto, risas aseguradas ????????

Diosnegro Arcangel

Diga la verdad, y si miente , afuera está la ambulancia para que le peguen la mano

Olga ????????

Десять лет назад и знать никто не знал... Сейчас очереди , только одну фотографию на человека сделать можно, да ещё за это всё денег хотят (правда немного).

Cobra Commander

Para meter la manopla en la boca y hacerte la foto , prescindible a no ser que seas muy friki

So different and so beautiful. Don't miss it! Only negative: to visit the crypt a guy there will MAKE you pay an offering... although there is no official entrance fee (which means no receipt). ???? - Konstantina
