Campidogli Museum
The person at the Roman baths ticket window guide you to Bus stop for Piazza Venezia. Reaching the Piazza Venezia you have to climb the steps of the Campidogli Museum which is quiet unnverving if you are tierd. Couple of Snaps on the steps of the Museum is a good idea. The Museum was built on the top of Capitoline Hill and was designed by Michaelangelo. Various artifacts and statues were removed from the Roman Forma and Palantine hill and placed in the Museum. You have to go collect the entrance tickets by validating your Roman pass. The entrance is marked by huge statues of Agustus. The famous She wolf status who suckled Rome's legendary twin founders is placed in the Museum and is must see. However recently there are some controversies going on about the age of statue.

From Campidogli/ Piazza Venezia we took bus to Coloseum metro station->metro to Rome termine->Hostel. That was end of day three.
