Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

What a wonderful place to visit. Few tourists visiting Rome reach one of the most interesting and suggestive places, which is the non-Catholic cemetery near the Pyramid of Cestius.Tourists from around the world are looking for the grave of John Keats, who died in Rome at the age of 26 in 1821. His name is not on the tombstone; only the words 'young English poet' appear. An epitaph was also engraved: "Here lies the one whose name is written on the water." There is also often visited by the Romans and tourists the tomb of the second poet of English Romantic Percy Bysshe Shelley. You can also see the tombstone of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's son, August. The stone has the inscription: "Goethe filius". A very special cemetery in the heart of Rome.

This Baroque masterpiece created by the best of Italian architects and sculptures is so close to the Ponte Sant’Angelo and yet missed by many. You will never find crowds inside and amazing Baroque masterpieces will be all yours to enjoy. The facade created by Giacomo della Porta is a shining example of Baroque elegance. The spacious nave with white columns on both sides lead you to stunning altar designed by Pietro da Cortona. The chapels are gorgeous as well, especially the Falconieri Chapel with the tomb of Cardinal Falconieri designed by Francesco Borromini and completed by Pietro da Cortona. Francesco Borromini’s is buried under the dome.

Our visit was to pay our respects to my husbands uncle who died a few months after Italy was liberated. We found it very easy to get to as its within walking distance of the colosseum. On arriving there all we could say was Wow! So peaceful, no-one would know there was a main road on the otherside of the wall. Its beautifully kept,the gardners look after the graves exceptionally well and with the respect those laid to rest there deserve. Theres stone seats/benches that visitors can use to sit,reflect and take it in. The visitors book is readily available to write in and lots of information within a seperate book detailing the soldiers and also gives each soldiers grave numbers. Well worth a visit!

We went to the Mercado Testaccio for lunch and it was a great experience. This is the market where the locals shop for vegetables, meat, fish and some clothing. There were many stalls with prepared foods as well. Highlights included Casa Marco for pizza with unique toppings, Mardi and Vai for warm brisket sandwiches, and stall 66 for the fried Roman Jewish artichokes. We visited this market on our 4th day in Rome so we had already seen the highlights of the city. The Testaccio market was a fun adventure!
