Unique activities in Rome
Does anyone have any unique and not-so-touristy activities to suggest in Rome? I have been to Rome a couple of times and I am looking for more interesting activities to do! Will welcome any suggestions, thank you!

On our trip this spring we enjoyed a wine tasting with Vinoroma. www.vinoroma.com. A jazz concert at the modern music auditorium. www.auditorium.com. And the Gallery of Modern Art just on the other side of Villa Borgese. http://www.gnam.beniculturali.it/index.php?en/1/home

I would go to the Italy forum and search Rome. I did that and found a great deal of information. Have been to Rome about 6 times and will be there in Oct and Nov. Am amazed at all the places we will go that are unique--and got it all from here.
ASAP--if you are going soon, check out Palazzo Farnese. English tours on Wed at 5pm but spots are limited. If you don't see it, write them. They have great customer service.

I rented a bicycle for a day last October. It was nice to skirt past major sights and the plodding hordes. A lot spiffier way to transept Circus Maximus than on foot! You cover a lot of territory and master the geography, and find lots of ins and outs that would take forever and wear you down otherwise. Even the major streets were easy to negotiate as they are all unconventional widths, so it is like there is always room for a bike, and traffic was very respectful and considerate.

I agree with Nola's recommendations and also the Capuchin Crypt. Other ideas: Keat's house, San Giovanni in Laterno, Scala Santa, Ostia, roof top of Victor Emmanuel Monument, the Protestant Cemetery--very beautiful and more of a garden than cemetery. Nearby is the Pyramid and remains of the old wall. From there you could go down Via Marmoratta and have lunch at Perilli. The baths of Caracalla is worth a visit.
