The March weather in Rome means there's a fair chance you'll be stuck with the odd rainy day, and for indoor attractions you should seek out the incredible Musei Capitolini. Dating back to the 15th century, the museum ranks as one of Rome's oldest, holding an impressive collection of bronze statues, all of which are said to represent the city.

Located on the other side of the Tiber River from the city centre, this quirky part of town has retained its working-class roots and effortlessly exudes the air of a small Italian village.
