10 Unusual Things to Do in Rome that Aren't On Your List YET!

[@gloriajensen1864]

No photo! No flash! We enjoyed this step back in time around 10 years ago. As older Canadians, it was fun watching the school field trips here complete with bored parents volunteers. Important place. Don’t miss it.

[@marklanders6833]

More amazing and bizarre things to visit in Rome: - The keyhole at the Kinghts of Malta - The underground caves with pure blue waters and stalactites - The Museum of the Souls of Purgatory in the neogothic church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - Little London: a street that resembles the way London streets are - The daily firing canon on the Janiculum Hill - The Capuchin Crypt, there are bones, bones everywhere - The Mouth of Truth - The Arco of the Acetari - The Lovers Walking Path on Mount Mario, the tallest of Rome's hills - The mirror in Saint Ignatius of Loyola Church along with the illusion of the dome and the ceilings' frescoes - The Water Clock in Villa Borghese - The mechanical painting of Pieter Paul Rubens in the church of Santa Maria in Vallicella - The Coppede' neighborhood - The EUR neighborhood - The MAXXI Museum of contemporary art - The Vicus Caprarius - The Casa delle civette - The Heart of Nero (Il cuore di Nerone) in Piazza San Pietro - The Bar Canova Tadolini - The Palazzo Zuccari - The Tempietto del Bramante - The Chiostro di san cosimato - The Antica farmacia della scala - The Arco dei banchi - The Passetto del biscione - The Galleria Borromini in Palazzo Spada - The Stadio di Domiziano and the Serpens Ultor - The Statua di Pasquino - The Colonna delle piene of the Tiber River - The Home Museum of Hendrik Andersen - The Pyramid of Caius Cestius and the Protestant cimitary next to it

[@keithcombs4349]

Add Monte Testaccio ;)

[@paulwyld68]

We are heading that way but regardless this was one of the most educating youtube clips I have ever viewed!

[@VKanto]

If the situation with this virus gets better, my school will organize a trip to Rome. There are no words to describe how excited I am if it happens

[@theintrepidguide]

How exciting! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@hassu2149]

What are you going to see if you go?

[@theangelalmond852]

My class is going next week

[@carlsonrobb]

We are taking students to Rome and Athens. It’s been delayed 2 years. Finally!!

[@VKanto]

@@hassu2149 all the famous stuff ofc. Its mixed course about history, arts and religion, so I guess something related to those

[@joleneriordan7450]

Thank you so much for your recommendation to walk the Appian Way on a Sunday! We took your advice and not only was the walk amazing, our taxi driver gave us a fantastic tour along the way. I cannot tell you how helpful and enriching it was to be able to speak Italian in Rome. Many of the locals, including store/museum employees, restaurant servers, and taxi drivers do not speak much English. Now I know where Roberto Benigni lives! Still waiting for his dinner invite. ;)

[@theintrepidguide]

You're so welcome! 😊 I'm thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience walking the Appian Way-what a treat to have your taxi driver give you a tour as well! 🛤️ It’s so true that speaking Italian can open so many doors in Rome and really enrich your trip. And how exciting that you now know where Roberto Benigni lives! Fingers crossed for that dinner invite 😉 Grazie mille for sharing your experience-it made my day! Buon viaggio for any future adventures! 🇮🇹✨

[@merricox8842]

My last visit to Rome touring Castel Sant’Angelo we came to an open gate and walked the whole passetto and I realized we were the only ones on the path and the Vatican was getting closer. But thought not much of it as the Castel had just opened. Suddenly a man wearing a Suit came running asking us to please turn around. He said it was their fault for leaving the gate open. I looked up that night where we had been and was pleasantly thrilled.

[@maydanlex]

I've watched countless videos on Rome, yours is chock full of unique information. We'll be sure to incorporate some of the pointers you provide during our next trip to Rome. Thanks.

I’ve been to Rome many times and I watched many videos but this one is by far my favourite. Thank you very much

[@manciniman4834]

What an excellent narration and pronunciation too. Bless you. Rome itself is a museum and Italy is God’s own country. And I’m not even a Christian.

[@theintrepidguide]

Grazie! Thank you 🙏

[@mariocioffi188]

Wow! One of the most spot on, informative and interesting videos about Rome. My hometown. Also, always get a guide when you visit historical sites and galleries. You can obliviously pass in front of incredible masterpieces or features without an expert guide! They can tune the information to your level of knowledge or interest, and are generally fun and entertaining. It's better to save by seeing something less but get a guide for the attractions you visit!

[@theintrepidguide]

Grazie milee Mario! Lo apprezzo tanto :) Adoro Roma, ci ho vissuto per 3 anni.

What a great video! Very well thought out and lots of info that makes for an unforgettable trip. I’ve only been to Rome once, and my wife was smart enough to plan visits to some of these places. The 3 level church, and the Borghese gallery were unbelievable. I treasure all the pictures I have of the Bernini sculptures. I just subscribed and I’m using all these videos to help plan our next trip there. Ciao! And please keep up the great work! On a side note, do you do tours? You’d make an excellent guide.

I really need 2study my French/Italian languages lol..Its going 2b a bit harder since many cool places have closed/disappeared since the C.V. hit the city so hard last year 😕 Have things changed a lot over there 4u as well in Italia? Also I swear U are the first person I ever heard with a British accent then switch to Italian! I shouldn’t be surprised just like here we speak English/Spanish and Spanglish too lol but over here where I’ve worked in hospitality no one has spoken like you! Anyway just subscribed glad I found u nice 2meet U! Me llamo Mari Colette

Thank you so much Marie for your kind words 😀 Yes. Things have changed, just like in most places around the world but it’s slowly adjusting to the new normal!

The Centro storico Coppedè looks so wonderful that I'm going to have to walk all the way over there just to check it out! And the basilica right next to the Colosseum never even hit my radar till I watched your video. Grazie and I hope pandemic rules still allow us to come and visit in six weeks.

Oh that’s so great to hear! I wish you a wonderful time 😀

Coppedè is unique and charming, if you manage to go I would suggest to visit Villa Torlonia as well, which is few minutes walking from there. The museum and Casina delle Civette are a non-turistic must see🥰
