This often overlooked site in southern Rome is, in the reviewer's opinion, one of the best in the city. These catacombs, dating back to the 2nd century, are full of ancient wonder and mystery. It is in these very catacombs that many early Christians came to hold services. They did this because th…

Hadrian's Villa is actually located in Tivoli, which is a small town a few miles away from Rome, but it can easily be seen in a short day or half-day trip. This villa was a primary residence for Hadrian, who was emperor of the Roman Empire from 117-138AD. The ruins are in surprisingly good conditi…

Piazza del Popolo is good starting point to explore the rest of Rome and it is easily accessible by metro. The gate at the north of the Piazza was the starting point of Via Flaminia, one of the most important roads in ancient Rome. In typical Roman fashion, the large streets branching off …

A beautiful park directly north-east of Piazza Del Popolo. I think it is made even more beautiful because it is among only green you'll see in Rome (other than the swampy Tiber). The park is actually quite large and you can spend hours wandering it. My favorite part of the park is a little pond surr…

After reading (and loving) Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (The Da Vinci code author)we just had to go on the Angels and Demons Tour in Rome. (we missed out on the Da Vinci Code tour in Paris!)
We started in the Piazza Del Popolo in a group of about 20, with an American guide.
She relayed the book …

The Gianicolo is the name of one of the 7 hills of Rome.
Surrounded by parks and gardens. You will feel that you are far away from the city, although you are in it.
Climb it and get a wonderful view of the city. Try to do it before the sunset, so you'd enjoy it and also get the view at night. …

A lot of tourists visit Largo di Torre Argentina, the area where Julius Caesar was assassinated and see many stray cats lounging on the ancient ruins as if they own them. However, few people know that it is also the home of an underground cat shelter. If you go to the southwest corner of Largo Argen…

The Trastevere area is one of the most characteristic neighborhoods of Rome.
It's not touristy, mostly visited by the locals, so it's not as crowded as other areas of the city. Which makes ideal to walk around the small streets and squares, authentic Roman.
Once you are there, visit the old S…

The Castel Sant’ Angelo has several types of Roman architecture and painting designs worth seeing. The beginning is Hadrian’s mausoleum which has lost most of its decoration apart from a few floor tiles from what used to be a mosaic. On the main floor there is a map of the top floors of the cast…

The region around Campo de Fiori is weaved from many small, crooked passes twined by ivy. You can spend hours watching pictorial arches and fragments of antique sarcophagus fixed in a board of Tabacchinies. Market traders with cheeses, flowers. Musicians.... Just let yourself get lost around here …

Eric says:
If you are visiting the Panthon, take the opportunity to take a peek inside the Jesuit Church of Il Gesu which is located only a few hundred feet away. There are a lot of impressive churchs in Rome, but the gaudy, golden interior of this one really blew me away when I first saw it. It is located in …

Eric says:
If you have a free night in Rome and want an excuse to dress up (not that you need one in Italy), the opera can be fun. I went with my study abroad group and we saw a performance called "Tancredi." My Italian isn't too hot, so I couldn't follow the plot too well, but I think it involved love, reject…

We opted for the 48 hour ticket for €40 each which enabled us to use the bus for 2 days to get around the city.
You get a pair of earphones to plug in and hear the commentary (in 6 different languages) on your journey around the city. The bus stops relatively close to all the major tourist stops …
