46. Attend mass at Santa Susanna - the church of the American community in Rome

In comparison with most Roman churches, Santa Susanna seems broad and spacious, filled with light and awash with pastel colors. The nave is richly frescoed with huge figures, classical vistas and luminous green gardens, and speckled with light golden stucco-work throughout.

51. Enjoy a tasteof the macabre. A little way up Via Veneto, the Capuchin church of Santa Maria della Concezione contains a Capuchin cemetery which is one of the more bizarre sights of Rome.

The bones of 4000 monks are set into the walls of a series of chapels, a monument to "Our Sister of Bodily Death", in the words of St Francis, that was erected in 1793. The bones appear in abstract or Christian patterns or as fully clothed skeletons, their faces peering out of their cowls in various twisted expressions of agony - somewhere between the chilling and the ludicrous.

52. Stroll through the narrow, twisting streets of the Jewish ghetto nestled next to the Tiber - the oldest Jewish community in the western world.

The Synagogue is one of the most prominent buildings on the Roman skyline.

53. Imagine what it was like to shop in ancient times by visiting the Trajan's Markets


This area immediately east of Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill was developed in the 2nd century AD and included a massive basilica, Greek and Latin libraries, a temple, Trajan's column, and a sophisticated marketplace.

The column, widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Roman art, and the markets, known to archaeologists as the world's first shopping mall, and good preservation today.

You can get a free view of the complex from Via Alessandrina (off Via dei Fori Imperiali), but there is an admission fee to get right down in the ruins and wander around the markets. Entrance on Via IV Novembre.

53. Visit the 12th century church of Santa Maria in Trastevere and admire the wonderful mosaics, inside and out. Then pick one of the outdoor restaurants in the piazza (we loved Galeassi)and have a glass or wine while people-watching.
