The Testaccio market, built over ancient ruins, is the most important bit of this authentic tour of Rome.

After exploring the market, you shall head to one of the best restaurants in Testaccio. Built against the side of Monte Testaccio, a hill comprised of the fragments from ancient terracotta storage containers, this restaurant is packed with hungry locals. After a wholesome lunch, end the tour on a sweet note with some gelato!
