The closest one is St. Peter's Square, in the heart of the Vatican City, which can easily be reached on foot in 10 minutes, as well as the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.

Always walking you can reach Castel Sant'Angelo, connected to the Vatican City through the fortified corridor of the "small step", built around 123 AD as a tomb for Emperor Hadrian and his family, then used as a terrible prison and now as a museum, and the Ara Pacis Augustae, altar dedicated by Augustus in 9 BC to the Peace in the Augustan age, now protected by a structure made of glass and steel designed by the American architect Richard Meier.

With a leisurely stroll through the typical narrow streets of Rome you can reach:

Walking along Via del Corso and then Via della Scrofa you get to the church of Sant'Agostino, where you can admire the Madonna of Loreto or Madonna dei Pellegrini by Caravaggio.

Finally getting to Via Santa Giovanna d'Arco you will find the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi, where Caravaggio has decorated the Contarelli Chapel with three beautiful paintings dedicated to St. Matthew: The Calling of Saint Matthew, The Martyrdom of St. Matthew and St. Matthew with an Angel.

If you love nightlife and clubs there are several options available to you.

You can start with a walk through Testaccio, the popular district between Via Marmorata, the Aurelian Walls and the Tiber. Here you can enjoy an original atmosphere: the area is packed with entertainment spaces, very intriguing, that have turned the nights in the area around Monte Testaccio in a real Capitoline nightlife.

 From there, with a few steps, you arrive in the bustling and noisy Campo de 'Fiori: young people aged 15 to 40 years, Romans and tourists from around the world, populate it until late night, especially on weekends.

Another alternative is the characteristic Piazza Trilussa: from here you can now enjoy all the Trastevere area: Via della Scala, Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, and you can slowly discover a slice of cheerful and colorful city where you can spend pleasant evenings in the many cafes, wine bars and restaurants.
