The absence of cars on the Capitol makes the hill a welcome retreat for a short stroll. Climb up the broad flight of steps (the Cordonata) to Michelangelo’s spectacular Piazza del Campidoglio. This is flanked by the Palazzo Nuovo and Palazzo dei Conservatori, housing the Capitoline Museums with their fine collections of sculptures and paintings. It’s worth braving the traffic on the piazza to visit Palazzo Venezia and its museum.
