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.

A return visit to this old, beautiful, unusual, and less visited Papal Basilica, and well worth the effort to escape the crowds and see something wonderful. It has one of the best Cosmati floors and is home to the relics of several Saints, most notably its titular Saint Lawrence. The sacristry (door up ramp, on right by altar), sells a very informative and thoughtful guide book to the church (access to the lovely cloister is through the back of the sacritsry). Mass is well attended by locals and the Priests are friendly, some speak English. A taxi, or the 71 Bus from the stop near the news kiosk on Via dell'Olmata, opposite Santa Maria Maggiore, will take you there and back again. Love this place.

The Campo Verano was founded in the early 19th century. Reasonably clean and with an interesting collection of monumental architecture and a grand church. The cemetery is apparently divided into sections: the Jewish cemetery, the Catholic cemetery, and the monument to the victims of World War 1. We found no trace of a ‘demarcation’, just a change in names (apart from the WW2 monument). Personally I have never heard of the ‘famous’ residents, but quite historical apparently. Out of the town centre but then only 20 minutes from the Termini rail station. A bit different if you looking for something original.
