Rome for Advanced Travelers: A Portrait of the Hidden City. All roads lead to Rome, as the saying goes. However, if this is your first trip to the Eternal City, you might want to steer clear of this book. We simply bypass well-known attractions like the Pantheon or Piazza Navona. Instead, we take you on a different path, showcasing lesser-known sights off the beaten tourist track. Charming places that we often pass by without noticing. Visit buildings that are usually not open to the public, curiously descend into the seemingly endless underground, or touch the sky from new viewpoints. Sneak into picturesque courtyards and enjoy your pranzo in one of the hidden parks just around the corner. Interesting facts, enlightening stories, and legends will accompany you.
