Things To Do Near Colosseum in Rome

The immediate neighborhood surrounding the Colosseum is the hub of all ancient monuments and activity in Rome. The Roman Forum and Fori Imperiali span its front yard while the Basilica of San Clemente, with its two level of Roman and paleo-Christian house and temple are underneath. Just like Villa Celimontana, a beautiful meadow and park where 3rd century houses hide under the Church of Sts Giovanni and Paolo. Head away uphill and east, you'll find Michelangelo's lovely Moses in Chains hidden in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli. Then walk over to Monti, Rome's hipster neighborhood and hang out its HQ, Piazza Madonna ai Monti. Or else grab a hot chocolate at the unforgettable Bottega del Cioccolato. In Rome in March, don't miss the Blessing of the Cars on March 9 and the celebration of Ides of March on the 15. All Hail Caesar!
