More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the A-line of tourists and into the cool shadow of the Pantheon’s portico — a circular hush broken only by the oculus above, letting a single shaft of daylight roll across ancient marble. From that vaulted center the city radiates: cobbled alleys that prod you onward, wide boulevards where bus roofs let you take Rome into your hands.
