Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Museums

March 25, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

When in Piazza Navona, just across the street of the north end of the square, and the fifteenth century Museo Altemps await's with statues of Hermes, renderings of Apollo, the Lyrist and Athena; many paintings of bucolic scenes of ancient Rome, a colossal head of Hera, many works of Goethe, this was very interesting and moving; after this visit you will feel you a little bit tired, but you will visit it next time again.

Reviewed By 882mrl - Foligno, Italy

We visited this Gallery for the first time to see an exhibit called Bacon, Freud and the School of London which was a presentation of modern works by Francis Bacon, Lucius Freud, Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, and Paula Rego. We were not familiar with any of these artists so this was a real treat. The organizers chose some excellent paintings and we got a real sense of the times when these artists were active. Even though we did not get any refreshments while visiting, there is a nice cafe in the building.
