Something that Italy as a whole is famous for is its amazing culinary skills and beautiful dining experiences, and Rome is certainly a sparkling gem when it comes to food. You will have more excellent restaurants to choose from than you'll possibly be able to manage to fit into your holiday's time frame, but it's good to know that when you do need a good meal you'll be hard pressed not to find one.
Obviously you need to check out the world famous Coliseum, Forums and Baths which are certainly no disappointment and allow for a real feeling of what these places would have been like all those years ago. The baths themselves where completed in the third century, and in their prime would cater for 1,600 bathers at any one time!
For a great cocktail of all of Rome's history the museum of Palazzo Venezia offers anything from paintings and tapestries to the treasures of past Caesars. During holidays or special occasions there are special exhibitions on while the museum hosts items from other world renowned museums.
Parco Appio Claudio is a beautiful park within the city and makes a brilliant location for somewhere to relax after a busy days tourism or shopping in the city centre. You'll most likely find some talented street entertainment putting on a show for those taking some time out of their schedule to relax for a while.
