Visit the Colosseum, it is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture.
Ice skating, go to concerts in churches and see some nativity scenes, also I advise you to just walk around and enjoy the beauty that is Rome.
