  • The Basilica di San Clemente really is a 'must see' church, however a lot of people unfortunately miss this place. Three churches in one- the street level is a 12th century church behind a 17th century facade. Walk down one flight of stairs, and you're in the 4th century; one more flight down, you're in the original 2nd century street and can even hear the sewers of Rome murmur in the background.

    Districts: EUR - not just an acronym

  • EUR shouldn't be ignored, just because it's far removed from central Rome. At the southern end (take Metro B to EUR Palasport, EUR Fermi, or the last stop, Laurentina) and discover this neighborhood designed by Mussolini in quintessential 1930's-fascist style for the 1942 Esposizione Universale di Roma (hence...EUR) and his plan for a "Third Rome."

    Sites in EUR include tons of museums (Museo della Civitý Romana, Archive Centrale, et. al.), monuments, wide boulevards, and LunEUR (www.luneur.it) - a fun amusement park.

    This is one area of Rome you probably won't see another tourist.
