"Found near the Forum, in Piazza del Campidoglio, the museums consist of two imposing buildings: the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo, linked by the Galleria Lapidaria tunnel. The museums were born when Pope Sixtus IV bequeathed bronze statues to the citizens of Rome in 1471, making these the oldest museums in the world. Amongst paintings and sculptures by the greatest artists, you’ll find a few unique treasures, such as the original sculpture of the Capitoline Wolf, the 1277 Ritratto di Carlo I d’Angiò di Cambio, the first sculpture of a living person, and the enormous equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius."

"Step back in time at the Capitoline Museums, found in the Colosseo district just outside the Colosseum, in order to explore some of the best Greek and Roman artifacts in the city. The Museo Capitolino is housed in a 17th century structure based on a sketch by Michelangelo, and it is home to works like the Dying Gaul and the enormous statue of the emperor Marcus Aurelius on horseback, both of which are made from bronze. Its most famous work however is probably Lupa Capitolina, a sculpture of Romulus and Remus under a wolf."

"The Capitoline Museums in Rome is actually a single museum that houses a collection dedicated to both art and archaeology. The museum's origins date back to the 15th century and Pope Sixtus IV, who donated ancient bronzes and set them upon Capitoline Hill, which is how the museum came to be. The Capitoline Museums were opened to the public in 1734 by Clement XII. As a result, the Capitoline Museums now own the honor of being the world's first-ever museum."

"This elegant little place on the Piazza San Lorenzo isn’t exactly hip or fancy. There are no crazy flavours or ambitious combinations, just classic Italian gelato the way it’s supposed to be. Sample traditional flavours like pistachio and chocolate, with tiny bits of candied fruit mixed in for a little extra surprise."

"You’ll pay a premium to sip coffee on the charming outside terrace here but we’d be inclined to say it’s worth it. There’s table service so you don’t need to worry about a complicated ordering system and the coffee is delicious. It’s the perfect place to stop for a caffeine hit if you’ve been to the Spanish steps."

"Ciampini has long been the secret vice of Romans in the know. After a recent renovation, they've expanded and now have a second gelateria, literally a stone's throw from the first. Many Romans consider Ciampini to be some of the best gelato in Rome."

"Once a private villa in the Liberty style, an Italian variant of Art Nouveau, the Lord Byron has been renovated into a luxury hotel with a lush Art Deco look, a blend of modern and antique that feels effortlessly stylish, especially compared to the aging palace hotels and the ultra-modern design experiments elsewhere in town. Most rooms come with balconies or terraces, as well as marble baths, fabric-covered walls and massive, enveloping beds. The location may be the Lord Byron's greatest advantage with its spectacular city and garden views."

"The luxury boutique Hotel Lord Byron, housed in a converted villa, has Wi-Fi, vintage marble baths, towel warmers, and plush robes and slippers in all rooms. A free daily breakfast buffet includes homemade croissants, freshly squeezed Sicilian orange juice and gourmet coffee. The romantic Italian restaurant is open for lunch and dinner; there is also a bar and a wine cellar."

"This unique hotel is located on the north of Borghese Gardens. It’s not very well connected, and you’ll need taxis to take you to and from the various attractions of the city. The Spanish Steps are one of the closest popular attractions, and they’re 10 minutes away by taxi."

"It’s standing room only at this local institution which means you’ll be sharing your coffee shoulder to shoulder with a local crowd. The barista here has won awards internationally so the place is covered in his photos and certificates. Order a cappuccino and marvel at the foam art they serve ranging from a heart to a flower in your frothed milk."
