DK Travel : Rome

Although functioning as a vibrant, modern capital akin to any in Europe, the unique appeal of Rome is that the entire city is a vast, 3,000-year-old, indoor-outdoor museum. In every quarter you’ll find ancient monuments, art treasures and timeless architecture in churches, galleries and protected ruins. Home to the world’s smallest city, the Vatican, Rome has religion at its heart and history in its soul – a city that dazzles and inspires visitors time and time again.

Cesàri

This little gem was famous in the 1800s, when the French writer Stendhal stayed here, and the exterior is little changed. The interior, however, has been kept up-to-date, set off with antiques and old prints. All rooms have blue marble bathrooms.
Checchino dal 1887

The premier restaurant of Testaccio since 1887 boasts Rome’s largest wine cellar. Working-class dishes – this is the place that invented coda alla vaccinara (see Coda alla vaccinara) – and more elegant fare are prepared divinely, with the best selection of Italian and French cheeses in town (see Felice).

Terrace, Checchino dal 1887
Checchino dal 1887

Chianti

This old favourite from over the border in Tuscany is one of the most common reds you’ll find in Rome’s bars and restaurants.
Chiesa Nuova

Pietro da Cortona painted the dome and apse and Rubens three sanctuary canvases for this 1575 church.
Christmas Eve Midnight Mass

Most churches celebrate the Saviour’s birth, but tickets are required for St Peter’s.
Christmas Market

Sugar candy, nativity figurines and all the Christmas trimmings.
