Rome
The Centro Storico is a museum with no display cases: reused Roman columns, baroque squares and fountains hiding more than they show.

The Puzzles of the Centro Storico
From the Pantheon to Campo de' Fiori through baroque squares built on Roman foundations. Eight puzzles that make you study friezes, count columns, and work out why an oval square hides a whole stadium underneath.
The Prow of Trastevere
Trastevere means "across the Tiber," and this district has always lived that way: with its back to the power on the other bank, with its own saints, its own god of medicine, and an island shaped like a ship in the middle of the river. You'll count the sides of Rome's oldest fountain, hunt for a snake carved in stone, and look closely at a saint who has been sleeping in marble for centuries. It's about 3 km, flat, almost always by the water.
