Dig a little deeper, though, and there are plenty of lesser-known treasures to admire. One of the most underrated walking routes takes you through romantic piazzas and cobblestoned streets to visit the city’s thirteen ancient Egyptian obelisks – more obelisks than survive in Egypt today.


Stay in the recently renovated Residenza di Ripetta, a former 17th-century convent near the banks of the Tiber and the Piazza del Popolo.
