Rome has more churches than you can shake a gelato at, and many of them are free to enter. Even if you just find one at random to pop inside, you’re likely to be amazed.
Sant'Ignazio Loyola church is an impressive church near the Pantheon, where you can see amazing frescos on the ceiling. It's a very ornate Baroque church - so if you want to see some sights but are put off by crowds at the most popular places - then this is a great spot to check out.
Our top picks elsewhere are Santa Maria in Trastevere with its glittering mosaics, and Santa Maria della Vittoria which is home to a famous marble statue by the artist Bernini.
Of course - the ultimate church to go and see has got to be St Peter’s in Vatican City, a ginormous world-famous basilica with an epic dome and an incredible interior.
