We also know you’ll be keen to get out there and explore this historical city, take in the amazing architecture, art and sculptures, the lively atmosphere and the eclectic mix of people!

While the Colosseum, Vatican City, the Spanish Steps and St Peter’s Basillica are amongst the most famous attractions in the city (and we would hate to think you would come all the way to Rome and not see them!), we decided to suggest some lesser known but just as fascinating places of interest to at to your itinerary.

Pay a visit to the Bocca della Veritá, which is believed to date back to the 1st century and depicts a pagan god. Legend has it that if you place your hand in the hole and tell a lie it will be bitten clean off! Will you risk “The Mouth of Truth”?

Bioparco is Rome’s zoo, and makes for a nice day out, especially for the children! Founded in the early 20th century, Bioparco has had some success at breeding in captivity some species close to extinction. If you want a day off from classical art and architecture, this is it!
