About this event
Ferragosto is the day Rome empties, shops shutter and the heat is at its worst, which makes the city's museums the sensible place to be. Rome Capital opens participating civic museums free of charge for the holiday. Check which sites are taking part before you set out, since the list is published close to the date and August hours vary.
Why we picked it
The one day in August when almost nothing is open, and the museums are both open and free.
