Hidden Gems in Rome: Beyond the Colosseum

Rome is a city layered with history, where ancient ruins stand alongside Renaissance palaces and Baroque fountains. While the Colosseum, Vatican, and Trevi Fountain are must-see attractions, the Eternal City has countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

Quartiere Coppedè

This small district is Rome's hidden architectural fantasy land. Designed by Gino Coppedè in the early 20th century, it's a whimsical mix of Ancient Greek, Roman Baroque, Medieval, and Art Nouveau styles.

Villa Giulia and Etruscan Museum

While tourists flock to the Vatican Museums, Villa Giulia houses one of the world's finest collections of Etruscan artifacts in a beautiful Renaissance villa setting.

Aventine Hill and Orange Garden

Climb the Aventine Hill for stunning views of the city and visit the famous keyhole at the Knights of Malta gate for a perfectly framed view of St. Peter's Dome.

Baths of Caracalla

These remarkably preserved ancient Roman baths offer a glimpse into the grandeur of imperial Rome without the crowds of the more famous sites.
