Rick Steves' Rome: Jewish Ghetto Walk PDF Map
This colorful neighborhood across the river from downtown is the place to immerse yourself in the crustier side of Rome. On this half-mile walk through Trastevere, you'll stroll from the Tiber to the Church of Santa Maria discovering a secret, hidden city of heroic young martyrs, lovers kissing on Vespas, party-loving Renaissance bankers, and feisty "Trasteverini" - old-timers who pride themselves on never setting foot on the opposite bank of the Tiber River. Don't forget to download the handy PDF companion map. Sightseeing nitty gritty: This walk can work well at any time of day. Mornings are cool and relatively quiet. Note that many churches are closed at midday and Villa Farnesina closes as early as 13:00 (and as late as 16:00). Strolling through Trastevere at dusk is especially atmospheric. Church of Saint Cecilia: Free, daily 9:30–12:30 and 16:00–18:30; crypt-€2.50; loft with frescoes-€2.50, Mon–Fri 10:15–12:15, Sat–Sun 11:15–12:15, ask the nuns to open the door. Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere: Free, daily 7:00–21:00. Villa Farnesina: €5; April–June and mid-Sept–Oct Mon–Sat 9:00–16:00, closed Sun; July–mid-Sept and Nov–March Mon–Sat 9:00–13:00, closed Sun. Excerpted from Rick Steves' Rome 2010.

Rick Steves' Rome: Trastevere PDF Map
For an exciting day trip, pop down to the Roman port of Ostia Antica. Founded in the fourth century B.C., Ostia served as a naval base and key administrative and warehousing center for Rome. Eventually abandoned and buried in mud, Ostia is similar to Pompeii but in some ways more interesting. Because Ostia was a working port town, it shows a more complete and gritty look at Roman life than wealthier Pompeii. On this two-hour tour, you’ll see the warehouses, apartment flats, mansions, shopping arcades, and baths that served a once-thriving port of 60,000 people. Don't forget to download the handy PDF companion map. Sightseeing nitty gritty: Cost: €6.50 for the site and museum. Hours: Tue–Sun April–Oct 8:30–19:00, Nov–Feb 8:30–16:00, March 8:30–18:00, last entry one hour before closing, closed Mon. The museum closes from 13:30 to 14:15 for lunch.

Rick Steves' Rome: Ostia Antica PDF Map
Stopped in its tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in a.d. 79, Pompeii offers the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like 2,000 years ago. An entire city of well-preserved ruins is yours to explore. Imagine the streets lined with stalls and jammed with customers from sunup to sundown, as chariots vied with shoppers for street space. On this three-hour tour, you'll start at the Porta Marina and continue along Pompeii's streets exploring typical homes and businesses; the Forum, basilica, public baths, brothels, ampitheater and more. Don't forget to download the handy PDF companion map.
Sightseeing nitty gritty: Cost: €11, or €20 combo-ticket includes Herculaneum (called Ercolano) and three lesser sites (valid 3 days).
Hours: Daily April–Oct 8:30–19:30, Nov–March 8:30–17:00 (last entry 90 min before closing).
