Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Traveler Resources

April 8, 2022 Roger Rusk

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.

Palazzo Santa Chiara

Opera Lirica di Roma at Palazzo Santa Chiara is an ensemble consisting of exceptional voices of Italian opera soloists accompanied by outstanding instrumental virtuosos. Our artists present a wonderful show, which is why they receive very often a standing ovation and positive audience feedback.

As a tourist, it was such a great opportunity to be inside of the Palazzo Santa Chiara for Opera Arias with the reasonable ticket price. A string Quartet, Tenor and Soprano soloists from Opera Lirica di Roma are all wonderful.The staff are friendly and kind, felt very personal and welcoming.

Biblioteca Casanatense

The Casanatense Library was founded by the Dominicans of the Monastery of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome and opened to the general public, according to the will of Cardinal Girolamo Casanate. In order to contain the Library collection the Friars built a new architectural structure in the area of the monastery cloister. The Salone (Hall) was designed by architect A.M.Borioni. The Library was already opened on November 3rd, 1701, only one year after Cardinal Casanate's death. The first nucleum of the Library was the collection of the Cardinal, which contained up to 25.000 volumes. Info on web site. Please, check hours: they are different between Library to Salone monumentale.

Biblioteca Angelica

Reviewed By itineROME - Rome, Italy

Behind piazza Navona, this hidden gem is one of the most ancient public libraries in the whole Europe and the earliest to publicly open in Rome at the beginning of the 17th century. At present, the entry is allowed to all those who are over 16 years old with an identity document. The opening time can change but it's usually open on workdays during the morning (however, always check the website news section). Guided group tours are available upon previous appointment with the didactic office. Always remember that this is also a working library where people actually come to read, study and research in silence.
