  1. Another really interesting visit that requires pre booking is the ancient Roman cemetery under St Peters - http://www.vatican.va/various/basiliche/san_pietro/it/necropoli/informazioni.htm. You come up in St Pater's and so avoid the queues to the Cathedral. Do try to get to Bramante's cloister attached to the Santa Maria della Pace, which is an architectural delight; the cafe upstairs is great and you can view the Raphael in the church at eye level through a window in the cafe at he end of the corridor.
  2. A few suggestions.....The huge William Kentridge mural on the Tiber embankment wall, Triumphs and Laments, between Ponte Sisto amd Ponte Massimo is well worth seeing. You can also see the inside of the Palazzo Farnese ( the Carracci room is amazing) but you have to book at least a week in advance online as it is the French Embassy now, and they only allow a few visits every week. see [www.inventerrome.com]

    The Villa Giulia ( now the Etruscan Museum) is an architectural 16th century gem and The Centrale Montemartini Museum in the Ostiense district, in an old power station is magnificent and is always almost empty.
