Palatine Hill

Palatine Hill is one of the most ancient parts of Rome! Standing 40 meters above the Roman Forum, this hill is not like any other—it's one of Rome's famous seven hills and holds a lot of history. People have believed that Palatine Hill, known as the first nucleus of the Roman Empire, has been around since 1000 B.C.

Walking around the ruins today, you can see majestic ruins and remnants of imperial palaces like the Flavian Palace, the House of Livia, and the Palatine Museum.

Catacombe di San Callisto

The Catacombe di San Callisto, also known as the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus in Rome, is an ancient underground cemetery that was the official burial place for the early Christian community in the third century. Around half a million Christians, including martyrs and 16 popes like Pope Damasus, found their final resting place here. The catacombs are named after Deacon St. Callixtus, whom Pope Zephyrinus put in charge of managing the cemetery in the early third century. Later on, the site gained even more historical importance when Giovanni Battista de Rossi, the founder of sacred archaeology, rediscovered and studied these catacombs in the 19th century. Today, it's a popular spot to learn more about early Roman Christian history. As you walk through the dark, damp passageways, you’ll discover early Christian tombs, beautiful frescoes, and even the burial sites of popes and martyrs. Book your Catacombs of San Callisto tour on Klook for a unique Roman adventure!

Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

Great time and saved a lot. Airport is far from the main city, hence, better to book a shared transport to the city and my hotel is walkable from Rome Termini. Thanks and I booked return ticket.

The bus from Ciampino Airport runs about once an hour, so you can probably just buy a ticket on the spot when you arrive. The bus driver got into an accident on the way to the station, which made us about 15 minutes late and it was frustrating.

Such a great experience from start to finish! The class was fun and engaging. There was never a dull moment. Fernanda, the chef was very knowledgeable and explained each step clearly, making it easy and fun to follow along. She also gave amazing local tips from how to spot the best authentic gelato to great restaurants worth trying. We had such a good time creating pasta from scratch, and it actually turned out super delicious! The best puttanesca. We also got to make gelato from scratch, which was the perfect sweet ending to the class. Overall, an incredibly fun and informative activity. Highly recommended for anyone visiting and wanting a hands-on Italian cooking experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍦
