Rome is an amazing place. We tried to give you below a couple of suggestions of places that may be a little outside of your typical touristic destinations. Below you can find some of our favorite spots in the caput mundi!
View of the Fori at night
Via dei Fori Imperiali, Roma, Lazio, Italy
While for sure the Roman Forum will be part of your visit, try to go there late at night. We assure you that without all the crowd and with the beautiful illumination, you'll love it!
Trastevere
Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, Roma, Lazio 00153, Italy
Start here a walk in the Trastevere neighbourhood. It's typical for Romans to go there at night, but it's very nice and peaceful also for a walk during the day
Ponte Sisto
Piazza Trilussa, Roma, Lazio 00153, Italy
Beautiful bridge in the center of the city. Can be a good place to start a tour of the Trastevere neighbourhood
Terrazza del Pincio
Salita del Pincio, Roma, Lazio 00187, Italy
Beautiful terrace inside the Villa Borghese park (which is also worth a visit), from which you can enjoy a great view of the city
Terrazza del Gianicolo
Piazzale Giuseppe Garibaldi, Roma, Lazio 00165, Italy
Catch an amazing view of Rome's center from this terrace
An entire building where you can find huge gourmet supermarket (all sorts or cheeses, wines, pastries and other typical products), restaurants, cafes and a lot more.
Porto Fluviale
Via del Porto Fluviale 10, Roma, Lazio 00154, Italy
Lively neighborhood with a cool atmosphere, nice restaurants and cafes
Quartiere Coppedè
Piazza Mincio, Roma, Lazio 00198, Italy
Neighbourhood built between 1915 and 1930, outside of the more central areas of the city but easily reachable by public transportation. It boasts some beautifully decorated buildings, check out especially the ones in Piazza Mincio!
Ponte Milvio
Ponte Milvio, Roma, Lazio 00196, Italy
Cross the bridge for a nice view of the Tevere, close to a fancy Roman neighbourhood. And close to many restaurants and aperitivo spots
National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art
Viale delle Belle Arti 131, Roma, Lazio 00197, Italy, +39 06 322981
One of our favorite museums in Rome, with art works from the last two centuries
Nice museum located inside Villa Borghese with incredible paintings and sculptures. Remember to book online in advance as it's often quie crowded and admission is limited.
Nice restaurant outside of the more touristic center areas. Locals love going here, so try to make a reservation in advance because it's hard to find a table especially during weekends
Cargo
Via del Pigneto 20, Roma, Lazio 00176, Italy, +39 349 740 4620
Located in a "Bohemian" neighbourhood called Pigneto. It's a nice place for a walk and for many options of Spritz preparations
