Depends what you mean by "interesting". Are you into the whole art/history/culture circuit or are you looking for good bars and nightclubs?

Innumerable threads have made it clear that pizza and pasta are good if you stay away from the touristy places and don't act like a dumb tourist. Follow the locals and put away the camera.

Picture somewhat related: Monte Testaccio.

is right on the pizza/pasta front. rome is an awesome city just to walk in for hours; yoy dont even realise how long youve been out. and if you want to do the touristy galleries/vatican/colusseum etc make up a list of those you wanna see most. we were there a week and still didnt see everything

PROTIP: get gelato from ciampini in Piazza san Lorenzo in Lucia. BEST GELATO EVER.

Go south. Rent a car or take trains. Go to Naples, Amalfi coast, Capri. Less than 2hrs drive from Roma. Tons of cools stuff to do. Better pizza too.

If you're going outside the city, then I challenge you to find this statue in its underground chamber. Protip: it's less than 30 minutes away by train. Not far from the beach.

Yeah, I'm asking this question too. I spent about a week in Rome last fall, saw the usual stuff, and when I go back I want to see stranger, more interesting things. I'm googling all over the place and can't find anything much besides the morbid stuff like the Purgatory Museum and the Crime Museum:

E' un Romano vero! Ostia Antica is amazing. My gf and I took the train from trastevere station and spent a whole day investigating the place. We only saw like a quarter of it.

Doesn't Rome have a UFO museum, or a conspiracy museum, or something like that? Where should a traveller go when he can't stand any more tourists and ancient monuments and beautiful paintings?

(Besides the strip joints)

don't know much about this kind of stuff... but this site gives some advice for interesting sights of Rome outside the usual touristic routes:

Sadly it's in italian only... you can translate it via google, worth a try!

On my second day there, I decided I'd rather get hit by a car than run panicked across the street like the tourists do. They look like startled chickens every time a car comes.

Next time I go to Rome I'm gonna get some footage of fat American/Brit/German tourists running to escape from crazy Roman drivers. Then I'll turn it into .gifs and post them here.

Ya, I'm a student in Rome. The tourists are fucking retarded.

Open market on Monteverde and Ozanam. And the Porta portese market.

I've always wanted to go there as an Historian. Roman history is fantastic, seeing it up close would be perfect for me. Don't know a word of Italian though, don't especially want to either.

anon brings up a good point. rome is absolutely full of important and influential artwork, if you have any interest in art history.
>> Anonymous
The Museo Centrale Montemartini is awesome.
If you go to the Vatican Musuem, it will take you 5 hours.

Theres not much nightlife in rome...but in the evening, go to Trastevere and go alone. Its beautiful and i´m sure you will get to know somebody.

If you go to the vatican make sure you pay the extra for a good guide. They bombard you with facts that even the most bored 9 year old would be Riveted by.

True on all counts. Also, if you go to the Vatican Museum (sistine chapel, etc) you'll have to get in line at like 5 in the morning. Or pay extra and go with one of those groups that don't have to wait in line.

I recommend getting up early. If you head out early enough you get a short time to see one or two sites and really experience them. Then the buses pull up and soon it's crawling with stupid fat fuckers yelling at their kids and pointing and making stupid jokes and taking pictures.

I also recommend the whole siesta thing (it's not just for mexicans). That way you can go out and drink and dance, yet still get up early enough to beat the crowds. That way, in the afternoon when the tourists are getting crabby, you can be in your hotel catching up on sleep, having those weird dreams you only get when you're traveling.

Go to the trevi fountain and try to get a little gypsy girl to pick you pocket

I hear rumors that the Via Appia used to turn into a gay cruising ground after dark. Then there was some sort of crackdown and they moved their scene out to ostia antica and the lago traiano. Confirm/deny?
