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.

4.5 based on 2,757 reviews
The creation of the Capitoline Museums has been traced back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated a group of bronze statues of great symbolic value to the People of Rome. The collections are closely linked to the city of Rome, and most of the exhibits come from the city itself.

It is surprising that the Capitolini Museum is not at the top list of one of the most popular things to do on the tripadvisor list. It should be at least in the top 20. We bought a Roma pass in order to enter this museum. The pass includes the Capitolini Museum as one of the options for entrance access. Once you enter, you will see the courtyard with ancient scultures most notably the Head of the colossal statue of Constantine I. The second floor of the Palazzo dei Conservatori is occupied by the Conservator's Apartment, housing such famous works as the bronze she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, which has become the emblem of Rome. The Conservator's Apartment is distinguished by elaborate interior decorations, including frescoes, stuccos, tapestries, and carved ceilings and doors. The third floor of the Palazzo dei Conservatori houses the Capitoline Art Gallery which houses the museums' painting and applied art galleries The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius is the stand out attraction inside the Capitoline Museum. It is made of bronze and stands 4.24 m (13.9 ft) tall. Although the emperor is mounted, it exhibits many similarities to standing statues of Augustus. The one now standing in the open air of the Piazza del Campidoglio is a replica made in 1981 when the original was taken down for restoration.

This palace with Palace Conservatorio is the scenic left side of the square designed by Michelangelo. Both palaces are the site of the Capitoline Museum, there’s a tunnel under the square that connects them.

This monument to Vittorio Emanuele II is so grandiose and ornate that it's almost overwhelming. The tomb of the unknown soldier is sobering and almost diverts attention from the magnificent statues of horse drawn chariots on the roof of this enormous building. The detail of the interior is incredible and the artworks are spectacular. I also took the lift to 'il Cielo sopra Roma' to see the 360 degree views over both modern and Ancient Rome. Well worth the extensive waiting time for the lift to the rooftop.

I visited this museum ages ago and I wanted to go again but... unfortunately it will be closed for a long while for refurbishment. I recommend it as it holds lots of history related to Italy as a unite country, which is pretty recent.
