Top 10 Things to do in Ardeatino, Lazio

May 3, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

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.

Matteo Peterlini runs a fabulous limo company in Rome; we communicated via email - he always got right back to me. His drivers picked us up at Fiumicino and took us to our apartment. Later in the week Matteo drove us to Caprarola for the day and suggested a lovely trattoria for lunch. Everything was perfect. I absolutely recommend him.

Catacombs of Saint Callixtus

Official underground cemetery of the Church of Rome in the 3rd century AD. Around half a million Christians were buried here, among them many martyrs and 16 popes. They are named after the deacon St. Callixtus who, at the beginning of the 3rd century AD, was assigned by Pope Zephyrinus to the administration of the cemetery. Since 1930 they have been entrusted to the custody of the Salesians of Don Bosco.

Very nice tour guide, impressive catacombs, interesting history! Only a handful of tourists because of Covid-19.

Mausoleo delle Fosse Ardeatine

Reviewed By Passport770189

Another German atrocity for all the world to see, this time perpetrated against its former ally, Italy, whose foolish dictator Mussolini ignored his Fascist colleagues' advice to stay out of Germany's war and away from Hitler. Read up on the Italian partisans' Via Rasella attack on German troops occupying Rome that led Hitler to order the massacre in Robert Katz's "Death in Rome," which also details the massacre itself. Via Rasella is near the Spanish Steps, and also worth seeing to get a feel for what went on. Better yet, visit Rome's Museo Storico della Liberazione, located on Via Tasso in the former Gestapo HQ, to get a real feeling of how brutally savagely and treacherously Germany treated its former friend. Then, your visit to the caves will be a much more informed, and rightly indignant and emotional one.

Catacombe di Santa Domitilla

Reviewed By lady_britts - Bexley, United Kingdom

I must say that when we saw that this was on the purple route on our Big Bus tour, I was initially reluctant. But this place is fascinating and incredibly interesting. The tour starts with you walking downstairs under the gift shop & you suddenly find yourself in a church, that is underground. After lighting a candle & thinking of my family in the semi-underground basilica we ventured on to a section of the 17 km of galleries and corridors that are set over four different levels that are the catacombs. Having held over 150,000 burials, this is a very tightly packed underground cemetery, with many twists and turns. Thankfully you're following a tour guide, as it would be very easy to get hopelessly lost down there & end up starring in your very own horror film. Having said that, it's not even remotely creepy but it is dark and if you're claustrophobic, this is not the place for you. It's a fascinating and a very impressive place where you can also see the earliest examples of Christian art dating back to the late 2nd century. Do remember that the catacombs are set 16 metres underground, so it's chilly down there - unless it's the summer then it'll be the best place to be! Highly recommended.

Peaceful place worth visiting. Featuring legends, saints, beer, etc. Aside historical and religious reasons (site of Paul's martyrdom legend), they brew and sell excellent trappist beer.

Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis

Reviewed By AtlantaLex

How could anyone not rate this as a “5”? It’s a small church at the start of the Appian Way, itself a draw. Inside are facsimiles of footprints in stone said to be made by Jesus. I believe the original stone was moved to the Vatican. This is the spot where Jesus, after his Crucifixion, met Peter who was fleeing persecution in Rome. Jesus asked “Quo Vadis?” “Where are you going?” I won’t spoil the ending.

Gladiator School of Rome

Reviewed By yeetfamlol - Brussels, Belgium

I took my daughter (7) and son (10) here last week during a week's holiday to Italy. It was by far their favourite activity all week and my son has been hassling me to write a trip advisor review ever since so we can give it five stars - my son wrote the title and a summary below: "We learnt a lot about Roman history and after that we did a cool obstacle course that was super tiring. After that he taught us 5 blocks and 5 hits and then we started the death match and fight to the death. After that he will give you new Roman names and a Roman citizenship. It was super good!" We had a private session with 'Titus' (I think the cost is the same for group or private., Titus was really great, very knowledgable and had a lovely manner with kids - I would definitely ask for him if your children are young/ sensitive. He made it really fun and interesting and was responsive to what the kids wanted to do (my son was having too much fun fighting to stop for a snack so we just skipped that and kept doing the fighting bit). At the end, Titus gave us all certificates and he called us a taxi which arrived in less than five minutes. Taxi cost about 15 euro to Travastere. The place is down a dirt back alley so you probably do need a taxi or your own car. It is not slick and shiny but that didn't matter and it's not really in keeping with the gladiator training theme. It is not cheap but it was lots of fun, a welcome break from sight seeing, and a totally unique Roman experience. Absolutely worth it for the kids - they loved it.
