Things to do on Holidays in Rome Italy
If you are planning to visit the beautiful city of Rome, you should be prepared to get out of your hotel bed and explore. Staying up for long hours will mean that you will have every opportunity to soak in the beauty of the city. Although there are a number of things you must do during your stay in Rome, you should keep your eyes open to see the beauty of ancient roman artwork.
While there is several rent-a-car companies based in the centre of Rome, it is best to walk around to capture the most fascinating images. In Paris or London, tourists can rely on efficient transportation system but in Rome things are slightly different. The transportation system may not be the most reliable in the world but the fact the local weather can be almost always counted on to give you ample opportunity to learn the culture.
Walking on the street, you will see things different and unexpected compared to other parts of the world. Leather made jackets, bakery products and pizzas are the some of the products Rome is known for. There has not been much happening to improve the infrastructure of Italy’s capital, it always has the ability to surprise the visitors.

One of the main attractions in Rome is the local museum called Galleria Borghese. Some say the museum is a city in itself. It is a place worth seeing.

An ancient building with ancient collections; the place is bound to impress from the start till the end.

Explore ancient roman artwork
After paying a visit to Galleria Borghese you would not be able to leave Rome without seeing an excellent example of ancient roman artwork but you cannot do it unless you got to San Luigi Francesi Church.
Inside Conatrelli Chapel of the San Luigi Francesi Church hangs a remainder of ancient art; the calling of Saint Mathew. There are two other Caravaggio works in the building; St. Mathew and the Angel and the Martyrdom of St. Mathew.
