Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

An emotional multimedial experience through the history of Rome. Welcome to Rome is a new multimedial space where you can live a unique experience: to dive into 2700 years of history of the Eternal City. Spectacular video projections on the walls, ceiling and floor accompanied by a narrative voice. A great plastic that lives up to the evolution of the city over time. Holograms, projections and interactive exhibits that tell the story of important monuments. A cinema with a 4D video, together with 4 exhibitions will make you live an amazing and immersive experience through the history of one of the most beautiful city in the world. This space represents the first ideal stop for all the turists but also a special place for the Roman people where to live the past of their city and know many curiosities.

Came here during a rainy day which we didn’t really have anything planned to do anyway just wanted to escape the rain more than anything else. It’s a really nice and well organized place where you can see 4 small 3-5 minute 3D videos on Rome’s history and then you go to the main theater where you can watch the main show. I left this review very limited because I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. But if you have 30 minutes to burn and will be in central Rome I highly recommend this place.

Piazza Navona is one of my favourite spots in Rome for a stroll, mainly because of the 3 beautiful fountains. Most of the attention is focussed on the large central fountain. The Fontana del Moro is less grand than the bigger, more showy, one in the middle but all 3 fountains are lovely. In any case, wandering down the length of the piazza is a great way to spend some time in Rome. This fountain was built in 1575 but it was not until much later (1654), that Bernini added the central figure, who is known as the Moor. We were intrigued by the Moor's unusual pose. Is he riding a dolphin or wrestling it? He has the dolphin trapped between his legs and is grabbing the tail and twisting his body around in a way that suggests that he could decide to fling it through the air and send it soaring over the heads of everyone in the piazza at any minute. Around the Moor's feet, there are four mermen or titans, each blowing conch shells like trumpets. The fish around the edges of the fountain also caught my eye. They are pretty fiercesome looking fish, with snouts and sharp, pointy teeth. One of the lovely features of the fountain is that the middle basin is made of rose coloured marble. The dusky pink is a very pretty contrast against the blue/green water and the white marble sculptures. It's beautiful also in the evening, illuminated by the night time lights. TIP: If you stand with the fountain in front of you, you get a beautiful view looking right down Piazza Navona. This is a great spot for a photo because you can capture the curve of the surrounding buildings and the obelisk in the background.

I have no idea how I still managed to miss visiting Palazzo Pamphilj inside after so many trips to Rome. Do not repeat my mistake and plan accordingly! The Palazzo is home to the Brazilian Embassy since 1920, but is open for pre-booked visits. It is adjacent to the famous St.Agnes Church, so it is very easy to find. This beautiful Baroque palace was primarily built by Girolamo Rainaldi and the greatest Italian architect, Francesco Borromini, also took part in its design. My greatest regret is that I missed seeing Borromini’s stucco decoration of the salone and the gallery. I passed by its magnificent facade many times during my trip... how harmoniously it blends into the glorious ensemble of Piazza Navona...
