5. Roman castles + volcanic lakes

Just 30 km from the center of Rome lies a unique area known as the "Castelli Romani." These charming, atmospheric medieval towns are nestled among volcanic lakes. The beauty of these places has long attracted Roman emperors, counts, princes, writers, poets, and artists. It's no coincidence that the Pope's summer residence is located in the Castelli Romani. Romans themselves come here to escape the summer heat and indulge in a feast at the local restaurants. The tour includes a visit to the town of Castelgandolfo, located on the shores of the volcanic Lake Albano. A favorite destination for foodies is the "strawberry" town of Nemi, where you can sample fragrant strawberries and wild strawberries year-round, as well as local cheeses, meats, and other delicacies.

WHAT TO SEE IN ROME AT NIGHT. 3 PLACES THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY DELIGHT YOU:

Rome, especially in the summer, is beautiful not only during the day but also in the late evening and night. At this time of day, the Eternal City is filled with a completely different, fresh, non-touristy atmosphere. So, here are three places in Rome you can visit in the summer to experience the city at night in all its glory.

  • COLOSSEUM AT NIGHT

From April 3 to November 1, 2014, the famous symbol of Rome, the Colosseum, is open until 10:40 PM on Thursdays and Saturdays. The impressive architecture of this majestic structure, illuminated against the night sky, is a sight that will leave no one indifferent—whether you've already visited the Colosseum during the day or not. Seeing the Colosseum under the moon and without the crowds is a priceless experience.

Tickets for the Colosseum night tour can be purchased in advance online:

  •  CASTLE OF THE HOLY ANGEL AT NIGHT

Another nighttime experience not to be missed is a visit to Castel Sant'Angelo, which opens its doors after sunset in the summer: from July 1st to September 7th. Here, you can explore previously inaccessible corners of the great citadel. For example, you can stroll along the impressive Passetto corridor, which connects the castle with the Vatican palaces. For the most daring, a nocturnal descent into the castle's dungeons is offered, known not only for its wine cellars but also for its dungeons. Since the Renaissance, such famous historical figures as the Italian humanist Pomponio Leto, Pope Paul III, the sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, and even the most mystical figure of the 17th century, Giuseppe Balsamo, an adventurer and mystic better known as Count Cagliostro, have been imprisoned in these casemates. Night tours of Sant'Angelo run all week except Mondays, starting at 8:30 pm and lasting approximately four and a half hours.
