10 Ancient Ruins in Esquilino That You Shouldn't Miss

October 25, 2021 Darwin Bolte

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.

National Roman Museum - The Baths of Diocletian

Reviewed By RebeccaHTraveller - Crawley, United Kingdom

It's surprising that this museum isn't busier than it is - plenty to look at and a beautiful garden in the centre to relax in, without the crowds found in other parts of the city. Of great historical interest and a good place to spend a few hours, it is next to Rome Termini station so handy for travellers looking to while away some time.

Porta Maggiore

Reviewed By clanzaro - Ashburn, United States

This is one of the last remaining aqueducts in the world. There is a local park and there are no tourists just locals. Very enjoyable and do not understand why more people are not there. Take a bus and drops you off right there.
