Day One
Start the day at the
Colosseum
, Rome's huge gladiatorial arena - try to get there
early to avoid the queues. Then head down to the
Palatino
to poke around crum-
bling ruins and admire sweeping views. From the Palatino, follow on to the
Ro-
man Forum
, an evocative area of tumble-down temples, sprouting columns and ruined
basilicas.
Lunch
Sample regional specialities at the Enoteca Provincia Romana (

After lunch climb the
Cordonata
to
Piazza del Campidoglio
and the
Capitoline
Museums
. Here you'll find some stunning ancient sculpture and paintings by a
selection of big-name artists. To clear your head afterwards, pop next door to
Il
Vittoriano
and take the lift to the top for Rome's best 360-degree views.
Dinner
Dine on quality seafood at Vecchia Roma (

Spend the evening exploring the
Jewish Ghetto
where there are some wonderful
eateries. Round the day off with a late drink at
Bartaruga
, near the Ghetto's
much-loved turtle fountain.
