(It's better in her book better than the Roman Forum because there's more to see.) 7. The catacombs. (What child doesn't like ghoulish things?) 8. Museo Nazionale Romano (The Capitoline Museum has too much stuff for young children to digest.) 9. Ostia Antica. (If you can't make it to Pompeii.) 10. The Christmas market in Piazza Navona.
