Last minute Spa Breaks

There's a host of museums worth visiting while in Rome but you're unlikely to be able to fit them all in during a single trip. Head to the Vatican Museums to view works by masters including da Vinci and Caravaggio. Alternatively, the Borghese Gallery houses one of the world's best art collections, including pieces by Titian and Bernini. Finish off the day at Palazzo Altemps, to the north of Piazza Navona, where you'll find an outstanding collection of sculptures.

Eating and drinking

Fabulous food is on offer at every turn in Rome. Whether you're looking for a small trattoria where you'll be able to enjoy a relaxed lunch and escape the midday sun, or a leading restaurant offering a fine dining experience, you'll have a wealth of options to choose from. An excellent pizza menu is on offer at La Pizzetteria, while Agata e Romeo is a great option if you're looking for a wide choice of local and regional specialities.

For an afternoon snack or a post dinner treat, track down some Italian-style ice cream, known as gelato. Try ci gusta! Roma on Via della Palombella or Gelateria del Teatro on Via dei Coronari.
