When you head to Rome, you’ll find there are some attractions which will definitely feature on your to-do list, such as visiting the Colosseum and Vatican City.
But there are also some things that you should try to do, which won’t necessary appear in every guide book on Italy.
As the adage goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so bearing this in mind, a cooking class in the city could be a great option.
If you’re on a city break in Rome, you might want to take some time out to learn some new skills in the kitchen, exploring the diverse and interesting array of cuisine Italy has to offer.
Whether you’re staying in budget tents on your trip, or you’re in the most expensive hotel on offer, you’re bound to learn a thing or two if you head to a cooking class in Rome.
If you’d rather be a wine than food buff, you might want to try Vino Roma instead. You’ll definitely learn a huge amount about your favourite tipple from an experienced sommelier if you choose to do this, as well as sampling a fair few wines along the way – which is bound to add to the experience!
Culture vultures will love Galleria Borghese, with its huge selection of 15th to 18th-century art works, including everything from paintings and sculptures to mosaics.
You’ll also bound to find plenty of interesting things to see at the Pantheon and Basilica di San Clemente if you’re hunting for cultural activities within Rome on your trip there.
To ensure you head back to the city, you might want to engage in a local tradition of throwing a coin into Fontana di Trevi. Legend suggests whoever does this will one day return to Rome. So if you’ve loved your stay – either in luxurious comfort or camping out in a tent in the countryside – you should pay a visit to one of the most photographed fountains in Italy.
