5 Things You Can Do In Rome For FREE
Posted in Europe on May 30, 2012
The Vatican Museums
The Vatican Museums are free every on the last Sunday of every month from 8.30 am – 2 pm. Although, last admission is at 12.30 pm so be sure to arrive on time if you want to take advantage of this freebie!
Park Gianicolo
For panoramic views of Rome, head to Park Gianicolo! Park’s are one of the more common ‘freebie’ things you can do in any city, but what makes Park Gianicolo particularly great for people on a budget (especially families) is that they also have things like a free puppet show daily on top of the stunning views.
Tour of Basilica
Sky Tours Rome offers free hour-long tours of Saint Peter’s Basilica each day from Monday to Saturday, starting at 9am.
Estate Romana
Come here during the main summer festival, Estate Romana, and you’ll find lots of free outdoor performances! These include concerts, film showings, art displays, dancers, and more – most of which are free to the public.
The Spanish Steps
The Spanish Steps in Piazza di Spagna make up the longest staircase in Europe, leading up to the church Trinita dei Monti. This is also just a really cool place to hang out with lots of students, artists, and shoppers hanging around.
