Rome, the eternal city, is a major touristic destination for millions of tourists every year. Maybe that is why Rome is so expensive when comes to hotels or restaurants.

Nevertheless, there are also free things to do in Rome, and I selected for you 5 of them:

1. The Colosseum is an architectural masterpiece , even reported to our days. But it was build 2000 years before and could host 60000 people, who were delighted by the gladiator fights.

2. The Forum Romanum was the core of the economic, politic and religion life in the ancient Rome. As all these buildings are mainly ruins today and were build at different periods, you are going to need a map to recognize and locate correctly all the items.

3. The Pantheon is the place where the public persons where buried, in order to get eternal remember. Very impressive, even overwhelming, and excellently conserved.
