EUR District
Mussolini-era monumental modernist district south of the centre.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A jarring change of pace: wide boulevards and stark white Rationalist architecture, dominated by the 'Square Colosseum'.
Our read - 02
It's a draw for design and architecture buffs and has a couple of good museums, but it's a metro ride out and feels sterile to anyone hoping for classic Rome.

The same streets, hour by hour
Quiet, monumental, and businesslike under big open skies.
Architecture and museum visits; calm and uncrowded.
Largely dead, with little street life once offices close.
