Civita di Bagnoregio
A tiny medieval village perched on a crumbling pinnacle of volcanic rock, about 120 km north of Rome. The only way in is a long footbridge from Bagnoregio across the valley, and the slow erosion of its cliffs earned it the name of the dying town.

A landscaped park on the edge of the old city, laid out around the party villa of Cardinal Scipione Borghese and remade in the late 19th century. Shaded avenues lead to museums, a small lake with a temple and the Pincio terrace, which looks out over Piazza del Popolo.
Piazza del Popolo 85 km
A large oval square just inside Rome's old northern gate, with an Egyptian obelisk at its centre. Its name is usually read as the People's Square, but it really comes from the poplars that gave the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in its northeast corner, its name.
Galleria Borghese 85 km
The private art collection of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, still shown in the villa he had built to house it. Its rooms hold Bernini's marble sculptures, including Apollo and Daphne, alongside paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian.

A marble altar to the Roman peace, commissioned by the Senate in 13 BC to honour Augustus on his return from Spain and Gaul. It lay buried under four metres of river silt for centuries and was reassembled in 1938 beside the Tiber, where it now stands inside its own museum.

A great drum of stone on the Tiber, built by Hadrian as a tomb for himself and his family and later turned by the popes into a fortress. It was once the tallest building in Rome, and today it is a museum whose terrace, under the bronze Archangel Michael, looks straight down the river to St Peter's.
