Baths of Caracalla
Cultural siteRomeAbout 1.3 hours
Imperial bath ruins on a scale that is hard to believe until you stand in them, and a fraction of the crowds of the Forum because they sit twenty minutes' walk south of it. Brick vaults, mosaic floors and open lawns. Used for opera in summer. The right choice on a second Rome trip, or a first one that wants space.
