The Pyramid of Cestius
Even if you know a lot about Roman History, you’d probably still be surprised to learn that you can visit a 2,000-year-old pyramid here. You can visit the inside of the pyramid two days a month. If the dates don’t fit in with the dates you are visiting, it’s still worth checking it out from the outside.
Street Art in Ostiense
You’ll find plenty of colorful and impressive street art in the Ostiense district, as well as lots of quirky bars.
