Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Specialty Museums
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.

Right in the center of Rome, close to Piazza Venezia, Palazzo Colonna is one of the greatest Barocco Palaces of the eternal city. The impressive Colonna's Collections of paintings, sculptures and furniture from the 14th to the 18th century are unique and part of the roman history. The Colonna Gallery is open to the public every Saturday morning from 9 am to 1,15 pm (last entrance) from Via della Pilotta 17. All other days, including Saturday afternoon, private visits by appointment. Free guided tour (every Saturday): - in Italian at 10.00 And 11.00 Am - in French at 10.30 Am - in English at 12 am Private visits on request are available every day of the year. We also recommend a visit to the stunning Princess Isabelle Apartment with its incredible Van Wittel and Flemish Collections and the Pinturicchio frescoes.

Recommended for the ones who have visited all the major attractions in Rome and are looking for THE insider tip. Not a cheap attraction but every euro worth (EUR 25). For a full-mind-blowing experience, do it with the guided tour IT-EN named “Isotta”. This is a privately owned palace of the Roman aristocracy that turned into a gallery opened for visiting on Saturdays only (or private tours). Impressive main gallery with frescos, paintings, sculptures, mirrors and many other beautiful decorating objects. Resembles Versailles without the mass-tourists. The Palace looks good on pictures but live it is definitively much better. The apartments contain many other impressive rooms, with centuries of history and other curious remarks, just like in a fairy tale or children book. The palace itself was beautiful, but the guide turned the experience mind-blowing. Our guide, Isotta, an English-fluent local, impeccably guided us through the marvelous palace and the private apartment rooms, cherry-picking the most important and astonishing art pieces. She also informed dates, styles, artists and commissioners that let me jaw-dropped, specially baring in mind that the whole tour took more than 1h30min. Five star gallery with a five star guide! Highly recommended.

Museo Ebraico di Roma - The Jewish Museum of Rome is a very interesting museum, especially for those attracted to the Jewish heritage in Rome, which is more than 2000 years old. The tour starts with a guide taking you through the magnificent synagogue and continues independently (with an audio guide) in the small buy highly educational museum. We spent 90 minutes there all in all and enjoyed every minute.

This monument to Vittorio Emanuele II is so grandiose and ornate that it's almost overwhelming. The tomb of the unknown soldier is sobering and almost diverts attention from the magnificent statues of horse drawn chariots on the roof of this enormous building. The detail of the interior is incredible and the artworks are spectacular. I also took the lift to 'il Cielo sopra Roma' to see the 360 degree views over both modern and Ancient Rome. Well worth the extensive waiting time for the lift to the rooftop.

The Museum is situated inside the S. Sebastiano Gate of the Aurelian Walls and offers visitors an educational visit which was created in 1990, although the monument has been used in a more or less similar way since much earlier.
