Chasing your treasure
by morganna
Stroll around all the city and buy a good guide. Get lost inside that madness of Roman rests, fountains, churches and squares. There are thousand of little churches (look the travelogues) and you can find lots of treasures inside almost by chance.
This Caravaggio's painting in the left is a good example, in San Luigi dei Francesi. Other ones could be Sta. Maria dela Vittoria (Bernini's Sta. Teresa) or San Pietro in Vincoli (Michelangelo's Moises).
That's it... use your feet! There is an amazing great surprise in every corner !
Domus Aurea
by kedi+
Usually Rome tours take 3-4 days and unluckily this time can not be enough to finish all the Rome. So many people leave Rome without seeing Domus Aurea.. It's being found just few years ago and archeological works are still going on. It's still forbidden to enter some rooms for security...
The Domus Aurea or "golden house" is one of Nero's most extravagant projects. After two-thirds of Rome were decimated by the great fire in 64 A.D., Nero used this land as a site for his new palace. It was not so much a palace as a series of buildings scattered over a landscaped "countryside" including an artificial lake. It was extravagantly crafted, boasting rooms and hallways decorated almost entirely in gold. Severus and Celer, the architects in charge of the project, utilized a revolutionary movement in architecture that emphasized arches and interior spaces.
After Nero, Trajan changed this place and made constructed his famous Trajan Baths... It's known as he did this for the hate for Nero.

Trinity College- Irish Pub in Rome
This is the only bar I went to in Rome, so I can't really compare it to any others. Friendly people, and as a young lady, I didn't have to buy any drinks, guys paid for all of them(That was really cool). The Guinness was good, make sure to try a shot called Grappa (I believe that's how it's spelled). Casual, I wore a simple black dress, my friend wore pants and a shirt with a band logo.

San Pietro in Montorio
by pasquito
Many people ask me where they can go to in Rome to get away from their fellow tourists. My answer is always climb up the hill to visit the tiny, perfect, church of San Pietro in Montorio. It is semi-hidden in the courtyard of the Spanish School at Rome, but the building is always open. It was built by Donato Bramante in about 1502, to mark the supposed spot of the martyrdom of St Paul the apostle. You will probably have the place to yourself to examine and enjoy.
