A taste of our Rome Guide
Here are a few handpicked places from our complete guide, designed to make your stay in Rome special.
Lanificio 159
A former wool mill in the Pietralata area (more peripheral) transformed into a dynamic multi-purpose cultural venue. It hosts a diverse range of events including concerts (indie, electronic), DJ sets, markets, and exhibitions. Often features a restaurant/bar area and a terrace overlooking the Aniene river. Check their website or social media for the current event schedule.
Romaeuropa Festival (REF)
A major annual international arts festival held in Rome, typically during the autumn months (September-November). Features a diverse program of contemporary theatre, dance, music, digital arts, and circus performances from around the world, hosted in various venues across the city (e.g., Auditorium Parco della Musica, Mattatoio).
Villa Doria Pamphili Park
Rome’s largest landscaped public park. Perfect for walking, jogging, cycling (bike rentals available), picnics, or just relaxing away from the city bustle. It features gardens, fountains, ancient ruins, and the elegant Casino del Bel Respiro (usually not open inside). Also home to Vivi Bistrot for organic food and drinks.
Bonci Pizzarium
Often called the “Michelangelo of Pizza,” Gabriele Bonci’s Pizzarium near the Vatican is a must-visit for ‘pizza al taglio’ (pizza by the slice, sold by weight). Expect creative, high-quality toppings that change frequently, served on a distinctive airy crust. It can get very crowded, but it’s worth the wait.
Cinema Nuovo Sacher
Filmmaker Nanni Moretti’s iconic cinema located in Trastevere. It’s known for its high-quality programming, focusing on auteur cinema, independent films, and often showing movies in their original language (look for ‘V.O.’ – versione originale). Features an outdoor arena (‘arena estiva’) during the summer months.
Cinema Nuovo Olimpia
Located centrally on Via in Lucina (off Via del Corso), Nuovo Olimpia is well-known for primarily screening films in their original language with Italian subtitles (V.O.S.). A great option for seeing current international releases without dubbing.
Magazzino Scipioni
Enjoy excellent dining at this simple, modern wine bar. Discover high-quality wines with great-value, pick-your-own three-glass tastings from an ever-changing list.
Gran Caffè la Caffettiera
An elegant, traditional Roman cafe located in the beautiful Piazza di Pietra, directly facing the ancient Temple of Hadrian. A classic spot for a quality coffee, cappuccino, pastry, or an aperitivo while enjoying the stunning view.
Il Seme Bookstore
An independent bookstore located in the Prati district. Often described by locals as having a well-curated selection, perhaps focusing on quality literature, essays, or specific genres. A good place to browse for a non-mainstream read.
Teatro Stanze Segrete
An intimate and experimental theatre space located in Trastevere, often housed in a basement or cellar-like venue (‘stanze segrete’ means secret rooms). Known for its ‘off-circuit’ productions, contemporary dramaturgy, and creating a close connection between performers and the audience. Check their schedule for current shows.
Via Giulia
An elegant and remarkably straight street in the historic center, running parallel to the Tiber river. Commissioned by Pope Julius II and designed by Bramante in the early 16th century, it’s lined with Renaissance palaces, antique shops, art galleries, and quiet courtyards. Look for the Farnese Arch, part of Michelangelo’s unfinished bridge project. Ideal for an atmospheric walk.
Gianfornaio
A high-quality bakery (‘forno’) with multiple locations across Rome. Offers a wide selection of breads, pastries (like cornetti for breakfast), cakes, and excellent ‘pizza al taglio’ with various toppings, perfect for a quick and tasty lunch or snack.
