Tourist attraction
Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain in Rome, also known as Fontana di Trevi, is one of the most famous fountains in the world, drawing millions of visitors to the Eternal City each year. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and later completed by Giuseppe Pannini after Salvi's death, this grand fountain stands at the meeting point of three streets (tre vie), symbolizing an ancient Roman water source connected to the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which once supplied water to Roman soldiers.
Carved from travertine stone, the Trevi Fountain features allegorical figures, including Oceanus, the Roman god of the sea, riding a shell chariot pulled by sea horses. Behind the statues, the grand façade of Palazzo Poli enhances its majestic presence. Immortalized in films like La Dolce Vita and Roman Holiday, Trevi Fountain is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a must-visit landmark, totally worth braving the packed crowds to witness its beauty.

Its iconic dome, featuring five rings of sunken panels, is illuminated by the oculus, the only natural source of light. Built by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and later rebuilt, the present building was consecrated by Pope Boniface IV as Santa Maria ad Martyres, transforming it into a church.

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. Legends say that Rome's founder, Romulus, started the ancient city here, and later on, the rich and powerful emperors of ancient Rome lived in luxury on this hill.
Palatine Hill was once the center of Rome, where important buildings like the Arch of Septimius Severus, the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the House of the Vestals stood. 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. These palaces were made for the wealthy and upper-class people of the ancient Roman Empire.

Museum
Catacombe di San Callisto
The Catacombe di San Callisto, also known as the Catacombs of St. Callixtus in Rome, is the 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. Extending nearly 20 kilometers long and 20 meters deep with four levels, covering about 37 hectares, these Roman catacombs are a significant part of Rome's early Christian history.
Back then, Christians in Rome struggled to find proper burial grounds. They either had to bury their loved ones in Pagan cemeteries or on private land. To solve this, with the help of volunteers and donations, they started building the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, gradually expanding the official cemetery over time.
Explore this sacred site, where the history of the early Christian faith comes alive. Check out these tours and discover the stories of these Roman martyrs and the legacy they left behind in the Eternal City during early Christian Rome.

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! 🇮🇹🍝🍦

The place is a little hard to find, because it is a restaurant on the right side of the second floor of the market. If you tell it directly that it is the meeting point of the restaurant, it should be easier to find, because the first floor is a vegetable market, and you can't see the sign or information of the restaurant on the second floor. The service staff is very warm and friendly. It is a recommended travel activity, but the price is a bit high.

Had a wholesome family cooking experience with our 8yr old. Julia, chef assigned to us was very friendly and answered all our questions patiently. Ate the pizza we made and ended the class with an amazing gelato.

This was truly an authentic Italian cooking class and I am so happy I had Cristina to teach me her ways! I was on my own which allowed me to really immerse myself in the experience and Cristina was so lovely and accommodating and made me feel right at home in her home! I got to make each pasta and the tiramisu, enjoy eating them as well as appetisers overlooking her beautiful garden and olive trees. It was a true delight and I’d highly recommend! Grazie Mille Cristina!

You can skip all the other cooking classes! Just take this one! The instructor carefully guides you from making the noodles to setting the table. Every step is done by your own hands. You can learn and experience so much more. I'm very lucky to have chosen this one 🥰

I have attended cooking classes in many countries, but this time was definitely the most exciting! It's not like a class at all - it's simply being "kidnapped" by an enthusiastic Italian family to take home for dinner! It's as cool as going to a relative's house in Italy to have a meal! I originally signed up to learn how to make Carbonara, but it turned into Ravioli and Chitarra, but nothing. First time cutting chitarra noodles in a “guitar string” wooden box, so much fun! The teacher's homemade tiramisu - coffee + wine + cream... was just to learn how to make pasta, but it turned into a Roman family day of eating, drinking, laughing and teasing! This kind of experience can't be bought with money~
