  • The Catacombs just outside the city are definitely worth a visit. We walked, which was an ideal way to escape the noise and traffic. It is possible to get a bus though. This photo was taken along the Old Appian Way, looking back on Rome, en route to the Catacombs.

  • Although it's not in Rome, you should definitely try and make a point of visiting Tivoli. It's easily reached by train and bus from Rome; the journey itself gives wonderful views. This picture shows the gardens of the Villa d'Este.

  • This is the quaint Domine Quo Vadis chapel on the Old Appian Way, just outside the city. Inside there is a replica of a stone in which Christ is said to have left his footprint.
