Colosseum

Catacombs
If you and the kids are up for a spooky treat, take a trip down into the Catacombs of St Callisto and the Catacombs of St Sebastian, both dating back to the 2nd century AD. These ancient tunnels are lined with early Christian tombs and graffiti which look even more eerie by torchlight.

Borghese Gardens
This beautiful park is great for kids as it has a lake where you can hire row boats, and there are lots of other activities for youngsters too. Meanwhile, adults can relax amid temple ruins and shady cypresses.
