A great museum

The best museum on classic Roman history in Rome is the Museo della Civiltá Romana, the Museum of Roman Civilisation. This great museum is hidden to most tourists in the EUR district, so only the most diehard history buffs go there, which is a shame. Here you find a lot of miniatures, casts of statues and columns, maps and other information telling you about this period. You can spend a whole day there and still feel that you got through the collections a bit too fast.

EUR

One of the few places in Rome not teeming with tourists is the district Mussolini planned, the EUR. This residential and business district might seem a bit off the beaten track to many visitors but it's interesting I think. Some of the buildings are spectacular in a way only a totalitarian could envision like this Palazzo della Civiltá Italiana.
