Explore Rome's Testaccio neighborhood on a guided walking tour. Visit the Non-Catholic Cemetery, see the Pyramid of Cestius, and learn how to make Supplì at the Testaccio food market.
Begin your walking tour with a view of the Pyramid of Cestius, the only surviving pyramid of ancient Rome. Then, head to the Non-Catholic Cemetery, a garden in the heart of Rome, also called “the lost poets park.” See the monumental graves of British poets Shelley and Keats, as well as the resting places of many painters, sculptors, artists, scholars, and diplomats.
Continue around the Monte dei Cocci, a hill made of broken pieces of terracotta vases, and take a look at the unique industrial archeology complex of the Mattatoio, Rome’s former slaughterhouse.
Finally, reach the Testaccio Food Market, where the chef of the best food stand will show you how to prepare the supplì, a fried ball of rice with tomato and mozzarella. Enjoy it with a drink and different tastings of pizza for a real Roman experience with locals.
