Day Four
On day four it's time to venture out to
Via Appia Antica
. The main attractions
here are the catacombs and it's a wonderfully creepy sensation to duck down into
these sinister pitch-black tunnels. Back above ground, you'll find the remains of
an ancient racetrack at the nearby
Villa di Massenzio
.
Lunch
Book a table at highly regarded Trattoria Monti (

Start the afternoon by visiting the
Museo Nazionale Romano: Palazzo Massimo
alle Terme
, a superb museum full of classical sculpture and stunning mosaics.
Then, drop by the monumental
Basilica di Santa Maggiore
, famous for its mosa-
ics, and the
Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli
, home to Michelangelo's muscular
Moses
sculpture. Finish up by exploring the pretty lanes of the
Monti
district.
Dinner
Head out to boho San Lorenzo (

) and see what's cooking.
Step out with the students in
San Lorenzo
, where there's always something going
on in the chic restaurants, cheap student haunts and bars. Further out, you'll find
plenty of action in trendy
Pigneto
.
