• Brief description: Santa María Maggiore is known for being the Roman Catholic Church which is most faithful to its origins, as it hardly has any modern elements. The bell tower is very noticeable as it is the biggest in Rome. It does not give you the best view of the city but for the beauty of its interior, and the fact that it is on your way, it is not a bad idea to take a look.
• Length of visit: 15mins
• Opening time: the Basilica is open every day from 7.00h to 18.45h. 
• Cost: free.
• How to get there: from Termini go down the Via Cavour until Piazza dell Esquilino, where the basilica is (if you are coming from the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, take the Via Carlo Alberto which comes out at the basilica). If you are staying in our Hotel Smart Choice you can walk there (25min aprox) or take the metro at Spagna to Vittorio Emanuele (1,5€).
