1. St. Peter's Basilica
Overall Ratings
5 based on 32 reviews
Arguably one of the finest Cathedrals in the entire world, St. Peter's is the spiritual center of the Vatican and the product of many of Italy's great Renaissance's architects, among them Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo.

Join a tour to avoid ridiculous queues and hours of waiting and get to hear and appreciate the history. The basilica is extraordinary and in some ways grotesque in the grandeur.
2. Colosseum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 117 reviews
Perhaps the best-preserved of the monuments of ancient Rome, this huge marble structure was built to hold more than 50,000 spectators to witness bloody contests of might and the slaughter of wild beasts.

Get on-line with the official Co-op Culture website and buy a guided tour in advance. Bring water...the visitor center sells out early. Get there early because despite buying a ticket in advance there is a long security line to get through. Lots of tour companies will try to sell you their services outside so be sure to ask actual site personnel if you have questions.

We would like to thank Giliberto Stanzioni for perfectly organising our private shore excursion from Civitavecchia to visit Civita di Bagnoreggio and Orvieto. He is very polite , punctual and knowledgable and his car was spacious, clean and fully air-conditioned. Tour was very well organised so well worth money we spent . Definitely recommend Discovery Touring & Limousie service for anyone having Civitavecchia as a port of call or whilst visiting Rome. Thank you Gilberto...... alla prossima.
4. Monastero di San Benedetto - Santuario del Sacro Speco
Overall Ratings
5 based on 759 reviews
Reviewed By CzarEmmanuel - Manila, Philippines
This is where Saint Benedict lived for three years as a hermit in a small cave before he founded monasteries. People visit this place to visit his cave (called the "sacro speco") as well as the monastery itself. It has some mosaics and frescoes dating back to 13th century, an "Old Chapter Room", an "upper" and a "lower" church, a chapel carved out of a cave, a monastery, a rose garden, etc. You'll also find here the oldest picture of St. Francis painted when the Saint was still alive.
A visit to this place is both interesting and edifying. It gives you a glimpse into the beginning of monasticism in Europe, the simplicity of hermit lifestyle, etc. It is one place pilgrims should visit at least once in their lifetime. Highly recommended!

My wife and I drove down from Rome today to visit this cemetery. We were astounded by the excellent landscaping and how well maintained this cemetery was. Hopefully, there will never be any US government budget cuts that affect the upkeep of this cemetery.
6. Bunker Soratte
Overall Ratings
5 based on 293 reviews
Reviewed By Francesco_Finucci - Rome, Italy
I've known about this place for a long time, but I never visited it. The work made in few years by the association of volunteers managing this bunker is simply amazing. The history of this bunker has been brought to light in less than five years, and through research carried on internationally and with so much passion that you can't help supporting what's happening there.
Although being led by a staff not involved in military studies, the visit offers a powerful insight of both bunker's technology and the history of people living and working there. Moreover, it moves inside the very chronicle of the World War II, as well as the Cold War. Indeed, the military authority managing this bunker has been Italian, but also German and American: the headquarter of the German contingent in Rome (led by Kesselring) was there, but following the end of the war NATO intervened, transforming it in the shield for the head of State, in case of a nuclear attack on Rome.
Bunker Soratte definitely worth a visit, but there is much more to enjoy. Indeed, it's set in the beautiful environment of the mount Soratte - leaving the bunker you'll find yourself in front of a considerable panoramic viewpoint.
Tips: the "Roma Nord" Railways reach the station near Sant'Oreste, a small town near the mount. Nevertheless, the best way to arrive there is by car.
7. Pantheon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
Dedicated to the seven planetary divinities and featuring an interior of gorgeous marble, the Pantheon is one of the most impressive monuments of Augustan Rome.
Reviewed By Concierge3725 - Manila, Philippines
Pantheon falls under the category of must see in Rome. The architecture is superb and the the dome inside the temple must be one of the most photographed items. The arts displayed here are exquisite and elaborate and this attraction can be very crowded since the entrance fee is free. It is such a beautiful building structure to behold.
8. Sistine Chapel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
Probably the most famous chapel in the world because of its incredible artwork, notably "The Last Judgment," Michelangelo's stunning fresco covering 10,000 square feet of the ceiling and wall.
Reviewed By Grant I
Beautiful ceiling and awesome paintings. You are constantly pushing next to people while the Vatican security guards are yelling silence and stand up. It is funny to see all the f-yous that Michelangelo put into his works, towards people that made him mad.
9. Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
One of seven pilgrimage basilicas in the world, this church was founded in 432 AD and is where the famous architect Bernini is buried.
Reviewed By randomtravler2016 - Los Angeles, California
I titled this Jesus Crib because the relics of his baby Crib are in a wonderful receiver under the main altar. What can't be beat for this visit are the incredible frescos and gold ceiling.
This church is a few short blocks from the Termini station for the metro and easy to get to and is free. You will have your bag searched so allow 15 minutes to get through security.
This is a must-see.
10. Vatican Museums
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 29 reviews
With more than five miles of corridors, this vast complex of museums chronicles the history and accomplishments of mankind over the last 2000 years, featuring classic masterpieces such as Rodin's "Thinker" and the Sistine Chapel.
Reviewed By FionaTidd - Rochester, United Kingdom
Lots of museum galleries with various collections of sculpture, art and artefacts. Ticket includes entry to Sistine chapel, which is at the far end of the buildings, so if that’s your main interest you may want to move through the museums fairly quickly. Many of the galleries are beautifully decorated, especially ceilings, so remember to look up as well as at the objects on display. Rafael rooms and Borgia apartments near the Sistine chapel have stunning frescos.
Cafe in the courtyard of the pine cone is a good place for a coffee and cake stop.
