5 Extra Cool Things to Do in Rome

[Heena Adwani]

 

Among the various cities I've traveled to in Europe, Rome is my favorite. The sites, history, construction and ancient buildings mark it as interesting reasons for millions of tourists to flock in each season. Being the key city in Italy, Rome is rich for its traditional and cultural ethics. Standing on the banks of Tiber River, its most outstanding aspect for me is its museums and galleries - this city of seven hills speaks out tradition and art. Thousands of Christians gather to attend churches during Lent and Easter. Apart from sightseeing, there are quite a lot of Rome activities to do and enjoy. Let us run through a few recreational activities in Rome which I enjoyed. So how do you choose between all of the top restaurants, nightlife spots, shopping districts, sporting events, museums and performing arts? Take a peek at a Rome itinerary in five days with us for spending the most memorable five days in Rome.

And Here Are My Top 5 Extra Cool Activities

Segway Tour

This electrifying experience which I enjoyed was the Segway tour around Rome, where I floated from one sight to the other with automated instructions from headphones. This was my personal mode of transport and I had an inimitable experience. I consider this as the imperturbable ride of this century. Never miss these special Rome activities as a part of Rome tourism.

A Gladiator Lesson 

To learn the secrets of the gladiator games and get to know more about ancient Roman history, gladiator schools teach you handling and fighting with authentic weapons. The historic members of these groups lead the classes and teach about the ancient history of Rome. Grab the opportunity and educate yourself about Rome’s history.

Watching Chariot Racing

One of the most famed races held in ancient Rome from the past, at current-day recreations the whole family can sit together and enjoy the race. The Circus Maximus is where the races are held and it can accommodate nearly 250,000 people. The red, blue, green and white where the teams and betting were also practiced at this race. 

Theatres, Music, & Dance

In classical times,Roman theatres were open-aired buildings which played two types of performances: tragedy and comedy. These are still performed at ancient sites, along with many other performances both classical and modern at many venues. Romans are also the the ones who founded the performance called pantomime. Concerts and music were their greatest entertainments and still can be found on the streets, too.

Outdoor Performances


June through September is the peak period, so plan your trip during this season to enjoy performance of drama, jazz concerts, rock, outdoor cinema, and lots more cultural events. Most of these happen under the sky with sparkling stars as partners. Religious celebrations are also a main activity in Rome. So never miss these splendid events as a part of your vacation.
