Tivoli has two UNESCO World Heritage sites within 3km of each other: Villa d'Este (Renaissance cardinal's palace with 500 fountains — the original water show, centuries before Vegas) and Villa Adriana (Emperor Hadrian's 120-hectare retreat that was basically a miniature Roman Empire). Both for €22 combined, 30 min from Rome.
