Fresh vegetables in the Mercat
Mercato Testaccio

Located in the heart of Testaccio, the Mercato Testaccio embodies the soul of the district. This Roman quarter used to be the slaughterhouse district. Although production ceased in the 1970s, the neighborhood has resumed its culture and cuisine, such as the famous Amatriciana and Guanciale, a tribute to Testaccio's past. If you are interested in classic Roman dishes, this is the place for you. But you will also find other unique things here, such as second-hand bookshelves or the “made in 4testcacio” tailor's shop with prêt-à-porter clothing and accessories.

Spanish Steps

The staircase in Piazza di Spagna, at the foot of the church of Santa Trinità dei Monti, is also known as the Spanish Steps. It is a popular meeting place for locals and travelers alike. Take a seat, enjoy the atmosphere at sunset, when the sun's rays turn the houses golden, and watch the hustle and bustle around the famous Fontana della Barcaccia. This beautiful Baroque “barge fountain” from the 17th century commemorates a boat that is said to have stranded here after the Tiber flooded in 1598.

At table in Rome

A stay in Rome without enjoying the excellent Italian gastronomy would be unthinkable. Osterie, pizzerie, trattorie, ristoranti, not forgetting all the gelaterie with ice cream to melt away. We have an insider tip for you! The Ristorante Ad Hoc, near Piazza del Popolo, serves excellent cuisine in a charming wine cellar-style decor and has a very good, extensive wine list. Enjoy handmade salami, zucchini flower fritters, spaghetti with lobster and asparagus, homemade pasta and, above all, its great specialty - truffles. The restaurant is very busy, so remember to reserve your table, especially in the evening.

Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel

From 1508 to 1512, Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the 1,100 m2 vaulted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. The nine panels depict Genesis, the story of creation. A masterpiece of magnificent beauty, with profound compositions full of power and noble majesty, in which each figure is individualized. Michelangelo deserves our admiration all the more when we consider that he had to paint in an uncomfortable position with his hands above his head for four years. The fresco on the wall above the altar is also by the great Renaissance master.

Parco degli acquedotti - Picnic in the countryside

Why not take a trip into the countryside and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city? Take the metro A in the direction of Anagnina to the Giulio Agricola stop and walk to the Parco degli Acquedotti, which is part of the Via Appia Antica Regional Park. On the huge green area you will find walking paths that lead you to seven Roman aqueducts and quiet places where you can enjoy nature and the sun. Treat yourself to a picnic in the shade of a pine tree and don't be surprised if you are invited by locals for a glass of wine.

Fontana di Trevi - one, two or three?

According to legend, throwing coins into the Trevi Fountain brings good luck. If you throw a single one, you will return to Rome. For a second one, Fortuna will return the favor with a Roman lover. If you throw a third one, the wedding bells will ring. However, you shouldn't overdo it with the romance. If you want to passionately re-enact Anita Ekberg's famous bathing scene from Fellini's film “La Dolce Vita”, be warned: splashing around in the Trevi Fountain is forbidden.
