Termini Part 2 - Basilica Santa Prassede
The area around Termini station in Rome has a mostly undeserved reputation as a depressing, dangerous haven for bums, drunks, and druggies that's best avoided or, if necessary transited as quickly as possible. In fact, the area around Termini has some really interesting ruins, some of the best kebab joints in town, and what may be the source of the best version of Ma Po Tofu I've had outside San Francisco.
So let's say you've just arrived at Stazione Termini and your hotel room won't be available until 14:00. Leave your bags with the bell desk and head out - there's stuff to see!
