Admire this small mountain from Piazza dei Tribuni
Reach it by foot from the Metro A Porta Furba Quadraro
6. The Arch of Drusus and the door of St. Sebastian
Admire the largest and best preserved 鈥淧orta鈥漣n all of Rome.
Thanks to a restoration intervention, the gate was connected to the Arch of Drusus (built in honor of Drusus Major) located a few meters away, and which was part of one of the aqueducts of Rome “acqua Antoniana”.
On the structure you can admire many graffiti and monograms engraved by pilgrims who crossed the doors to enter the city.
The best day to visit it is on Sunday, because the Appia Antica is closed to traffic!
From Termini take line 714 towards Nervi / Palazzo dello Sport and get off at the Colombo / Marco Polo stop and walk for 8 minutes.
7. The archaeological park: the tombs of Via Latina
This beautiful archaeological park is located in the middle of the Roman suburbs. This site is a must-see: here you can admire the ruins of the thermal complex of the Villa di Demetriade with the Basilica that the noblewoman dedicated to Stefano Protomartyr, its baptistery, the altar and the apse.
You will be able to visit the tombs belonging to the families of the Valeri and the Pancrazi. They preserve beautiful frescoes representing mythological scenes and natural landscapes, female figures and marine animals.
The park is situated in Via dell鈥橝rco di Travertino 151, and it can be reached by Metro: Line A, Arco di Travertino stop
8. Tor Pignattara: for more street art
The area of Tor Pignattara is located almost in the vicinity of the historic centre of Rome.
Thanks to the “I LOVE TORPIGNART PROJECT” the neighborhood became alive with some beautiful street art. Here are some streets in which you will find some beautiful works that are among my favourites:
鈥Coffee break鈥: Via Ludovico Pavoni n.118;
鈥The squirrel鈥: Via Antonio Tempesta n. 215;
鈥The Stomach is full but the heart is hungry鈥: Via della Marranella n. 110;
鈥If the wind screams, I will shout against the wind鈥: Via della Marranella n. 110;
鈥The atlas鈥: Via Galeazzo Alessi n.219.
And it doesn’t end here! This is an area that I define as the result of a melting pot between ancient history, modernity and culture. In fact, as you walk through the neighborhood, right next to the church of Saints Peter and Marcellinus in Via Casilina 641, you can discover the ruins of a Mausoleum referred to as the tomb of Helen, the mother of Emperor Constantine.
9. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome
The Macro (also known as the Museum of Contemporary Art Rome) is a meeting point point between artists and the entire city. It’s a quiet place that welcomes contemporary art by creating exhibitions and many different projects.

10. The Dream Garden: villa of the Empress
Visiting this museum is one of the most beautiful things you can do here in Rome!
Once inside the room dedicated to the frescoes听 from the suburban Villa that belonged to the empress Livia, you ‘ll be projected inside a garden, surrounded by nature and silence.
Due to the wishes of the empress, her Villa was frescoed with colorful paintings and various optical illusions, green spaces with oleanders, oaks and pines and laurel bushes.
