Top 10 Things to Do in Rome

With a history of over 2,000 years, the options of things to do (and see) in Rome are almost limitless. So our experts put together a list of Top 10 Things to Do in Rome, to make it a little easier for you. If you can’t get through all of them…you’ll just have to come back for another visit!

THE must-see destinations when in Rome:

1. Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel. St. Peter’s Basilica – The most beloved places to visit in Rome, the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica are a must-see for your itinerary. We’ll let the tour guides fill you in on the sites but can recommend a great place to grab a drink before or after your Vatican City visit. If you’re craving the pub-vibe, look no further. Literally just steps from the Vatican, Ris Café has a good mix of locals, students, expats and tourists. And one of the best burgers in town!

2. Colosseum & Ancient Forum – Explore one of the most remarkable places to visit in Rome. Avoid expensive tourist traps and make your way over to neighboring Monti after some historical sightseeing. There are a few restaurants with this name in Rome but there is only one La Carbonara. This real-deal, no frills spot has been serving inexpensive yet equally delicious Roman pasta since 1906.

3. The Pantheon – The most unique and impressive monument in Rome, the Pantheon is rich with history. But if you are in the mood for some rich gelato, go to nearby Della Palma where they offer about 150 delicious and distinctive flavors.

4. Trevi Fountain – Your Rome itinerary would not be complete without a visit to the grandiose Trevi Fountain – the largest and most famous fountain in Rome. We recommend you grab a quick bite as this area is heavily populated and foot traffic can be fast moving. Within walking distance of the crowds is Pane e Salame, offering a selection of breads and cured meats in a chic setting.

5. Piazza Navona – A square famous for its three fountains by Bernini, there are a ton of options to eat and drink. But this area can be quite expensive and oftentimes the quality of the meal does not match the price. There is one place in particular that is loved by locals and tourists alike – Armando Al Pantheon. This institution has been around since 1961 and tables are always in demand, so be sure to book a reservation well in advance!

6. Campo de’ Fiori – A square that is market by day, pub destination by night, Campo de’ Fiori has many different options for dining. If you want lunch or a snack on the go as you continue your sightseeing adventures around Rome, Il Forno is the best place for pizza bianca (extremely light and delicate bread that you can eat plain or as a sandwich).

7. Spanish Steps – No food recommendations here – this area is strictly for shopping. Gucci, Versace, Armani, Cavalli, just to name a few of the big guys. And newly reopened, you can now enjoy the beautiful view of the Spanish Steps and snag a seat if the weather is nice enough. But if you’re feeling fancy and didn’t spend TOO much money shopping, Babington’s Tea Room & Cafe (established in 1893) is worth a visit for some high tea.

8. Castel Sant’Angelo – Originally built in the Roman era but successfully converted into a Papal prison in the 14th century, Castel Sant’Angelo’s history is as impressive as its structure. This massive castle and the beautifully sculptured bridge leading up to it has been featured in movies like Roman Holiday and The Great Beauty, and was even the last scene in Puccini’s famous opera, Tosca. http://castelsantangelo.beniculturali.it/

9. Galleria Borghese & the Borghese Gardens – This art gallery housed in the former Villa Borghese includes 20 rooms containing the most recognizable works of art from Caravaggio, Raphael and Bernini. And outside lies the third largest public park in Rome. Weather permitting, you can spend an entire day picnicking or walking around the beautiful park grounds. http://www.galleriaborghese.it/it/

10. Piazza del Popolo – One of the larger squares in Rome, it literally means the “People’s Square”. But historically, the piazza lies inside the northern gate of the Aurelian Walls, where you can still see part of the ancient door. http://www.turismoroma.it/cosa-fare/piazza-del-popolo?lang=en

Like a Local: Aperitivo

While walking through the streets of Rome, you may see a variety of bars offering what is commonly referred to as aperitivo. But what does it mean? In this article we hope to share this distinctly Italian practice with you, as well as give you some of our recommendations for the best aperitivo in the city.

What is Aperitivo?

(cc: pinkpangea.com)

The word “aperitivo” comes from the latin word “aperire” – meaning to open and stimulate the appetite. Although the practice can be traced to the northern regions of Italy, today aperitivo is served across the country and is seen as being an important part of socialization in Italian culture.

(cc: pata.it)

Although aperitivo may be different depending on where you go, it can be simplified in one fundamental concept: a drink paired with small snacks that is meant to open the appetite and kickstart digestion before dinner. Some locations keep it simple with small snacks such as olives, mixed nuts and potato chips; while others offer a full buffet of pastas, sandwiches, cheeses, etc. It is also becoming more common to find aperitivo featuring international dishes like chicken curry and cous cous. You will usually find aperitivo being served between 18:00 – 21:00 and range from 5€ to 15€.

Traditionally, an aperitivo drink is made with a bitter liquor such as Campari or Aperol.

Aperitivo in Rome: The Spritz

(cc: lifeinitaly.com)

Although there are a few drinks that are traditionally served with aperitivo, the Spritz is probably the most popular in Rome. The Spritz can be traced back to the Venice region in the 1800s when soldiers of the Austrian Empire asked for their wine to have a small amount of water sprayed into it to make it lights. In the 1900s carbonated water was substituted for still. Later, bitter liquors (such as Campari or Aperol) were added.

Explore With Us: Navona

The city of Rome is made up of various neighbourhoods/districts that each have their own sentiments and atmospheres. Twice a month, Enjoy Rome will be exploring these neighbourhoods and providing you with our tips to make the most out of your visit. This week we are exploring the Navona neighbourhood; one of Rome’s most historic areas. Book your spot on our guided tour of Ancient Rome to learn more!

The area surrounding Piazza Navona is commonly referred to as the Navona neighbourhood, but it is technically part of the Parione district. Parione is the 6th district (or rione) of Rome and refers to much of the historic centre. The large neighbourhood was actually split into two sections when Corso Vittorio Emmanuele was constructed in the late 19th century – a northern section surrounding Piazza Navona and a southern section surrounding Campo de’ Fiori. If you want to read more about Campo de’ Fiori, check out last week’s Mercato Monday post.

Here are our Navona highlights, as well as recommedations of what to see/do before or after your Ancient tour:

TO SEE:

No visit to to this area is complete without going to the piazza that is at the heart of the district – Piazza Navona. The piazza was actually built on top of Domitian’s stadium from Ancient times! Although you can no longer visit the stadium itself, it is fascinating to imagine while standing amongst the Baroque palazzi, ornate fountains, and colourful street art that has come to define the square. Piazza Navona is the final stop on our Ancient tour.

At the centre of the square is one of Bernini’s most famous masterpieces, the Fountain of Four Rivers, that is said to personify the four major rivers – Nile, Ganges, Danube, and Plate).

Also located inside the square is Chiesa Sant’Agnese in Agone. The baroque-style church was built in the 17th century on the site where Saint Agnes was said to be martyred. Just next to the church you will also find Palazzo Pamphilj. The palace was built by Pope Innocent X, but today is houses the Brazilian embassy.

Find interest in the supernatural? Piazza Navona is actually said to be haunted! Legend has it that the ghost of Costanza Conti de Cupis (a noblewoman from the 1600s) can be seen in the windows looking down on the piazza, but only when there is a full moon.

Just outside Piazza Navona you can also find Museo di Roma – which was founded during the fascist era in order to preserve “old Rome”. Today, it is largely a museum of art that is part of Rome’s network of civic museums.

Not far from Piazza Navona you will find Piazza Pasquino. The piazza itself has a lot to offer including a beautiful church and great restaurants. However, the most interesting part of this small piazza is is the statue that is referred to as one of Rome’s “talking statues”. The statues have been used for centuries as a means for political expression and anonymous civil disobediance. Even today you can see poetry and other forms of political commentary posted next to the statue.

Chiesa Nuova (also known as Chiesa Santa Maria in Valicella) is located just a short walk from the Piazza along Corso Vittorio Emmanuele and features incredible frescos. It was built in 1577 and also has an impressive library inside.

TO WALK:

Via Governo Vecchio is one of the areas main streets. Grab a gelato and to admire the cobblestone streets, boutique shops, and renaissance era homes. Via Coronari and Via della Pace are also worth a stroll.

TO SHOP:

Piazza Navona has no shortage of places nearby to sharp, but the most noteworthy are the vintage and leather shops along Via Governo Vecchio. During the day (as well as sometimes at night) you can also find a variety of artists and craft vendors in the actual piazza, as well as the surrounding area.

TO EAT:

The Navona neighbourhood has a ton to offer in terms of restaurants and the winding streets are home to many authentic italian restaurants. Cul de Sac in Piazza Pasquino offers a large selection of wine and locally curated meat/cheese plates. Pizzeria Baffetto is the place to go for pizza and eating in this family-run establishment is an experience in and of itself. On the other side of Piazza Navona you can also find The Old Bear, whose pasta menu changes daily to ensure the freshest ingrediants.

TO DRINK:

In addition to everything else it has to offer, this neighbourhood is also known for its nightlife. Whether inside the piazza itself or on one of the many sidestreets, there are a variety of places to get a quality cocktail and people-watch. We recommend Bar del Fico; they have an artisanal cocktail menu, aperitivo and even live music. Mimi & Coco and Il Piccolo offer the perfect people-watching locations. If you are looking for your sports fix, Via Governo Vecchio is also home to an Irish pub called The Abbey.

Mercato Mondays: The New Testaccio Market

Although it has formed the reputation as being the hub of Rome’s nightlife, Testaccio has also been recognized as the original foodie di mercatomondays strict in Rome
where you can find both authentic cuisine and modern twists on classic dishes. The New Testaccio Market is
located in the heart of the Testaccio neighbourhood – a working class neighbourhood tucked away from the bustling centre of Rome. The original market was located in the main piazza and was one of the oldest markets in the city. In 2012, however, the New Testaccio Market was officially opened with 103 stands where vendors offer local products to buy and to taste.

The market offers an authentic local market experience in a quintessentially Roman distict;

That is why we chose the New Testaccio Market for this week’s Mercato Monday.

Where: Entrances from Via Aldo Manuzio, Via Galvani, and Via Franklin. You can take Metro Line B, Piramide, Bus #23, or Tram #8 to get there.

When: Monday-Saturday, 7:00 to 15:30

Entrance: Free entry

The market itself is located inside a modern building strewn with skylights that keep the natural sunlight pouring in. This market is the place to go to get basically everything you need under one roof. From fresh produce, to high quality meats/cheeses, to cannolo, to wine – Mercato Testaccio has it all. There are even some vendors selling kitchenware, clothing, and other home goods. It is the perfect place to go to experience a slice of local life. Here are some of our highlights:

Mordi e Vai is a must try at Testaccio market. This Roman deli offers authentic Roman stuffed sandwiches. The shop owner and chef Sergio has transformed traditional cucina Romana into an assortment of savoury sandwiches including tripe, meatballs, braised beef, and sausage – all served on freshly baked bread.

La Prosciutteria di Enzo e Lina is the place to go for meats and cheeses. The shop owner prides himself on high quality products and will tell you all about it if you ask. Here you can choose from a wide selection of meats and cheeses from Norcia – the headliner is definitely the prosciutto.

Tucked away in the centre of the market you will find Le Mani in Pasta where you have the opportunity to purchase fresh noodles and fully prepared pasta dishes to take home or indulge in their dishes on site. Options include classic Roman dishes such as carbonara and cacio e pepe with truffles. All of their pastas are made from organic products and are hand-made in front of your eyes.

On the outskirts of the market you will also find a vino sfuso. Vino sfuso is traditionally known as wine that comes from grapes that are not good enough to be bottled. Nowadays, vino sfuso locations can be found all over the centres of Italy’s major cities offering a wide selection of prosecco and wines for incredibly low prices and the quality will suprise you! At Mercato Testaccio’s vino sfuso you can grab a glass of wine or prosecco for 2€ and enjoy it while to explore the rest of the market.

While strolling through the market you will also find a variety of fruit/vegetable vendors selling the fresh seasonal produce and artisanal products such as sauces, spreads, etc.

Last but not least is Strit Fud, just on the edge of the courtyard. Although this place may not be the most traditional in practice, it is worth drawing some attention to. Strit Fud offers take-away meals that have been heavily influenced by classic Roman recipes. However, the chef has used his creative license to create modern versions of cucina Romana – such as his take on pizza.

One of the great things about Mercato Testaccio is that it is so much more than just a place to buy food. It truly is an authentic cultural space where you can partake in Rome’s version of la dolce vita.

Whose your favourite vendor at Mercato Testaccio? Let us know in the comments!

Mercato Mondays: Mercato Centrale, Termini

In 2014, Mercato Centrale opened in the heart of Florence and it was a huge success. Thanks to the same team, Rome now has a Mercato Ce mercatomondays ntrale of its own inside Termini Station. Although this market does not exactly convey the traditional Italian market experience, it does bring together some of the region’s best food producers. That is why we chose to explore the new Mercato Central Roma for Enjoy Rome’s first Mercato Monday.

Where: Termini Station – accessible from Via Golitti, 36

When: 7:oo – 00:00 daily

Termini station is Rome’s main hub for public transportation as well as trains outside of the city. The building itself was inaugurated in 1950 and takes its name from the nearby Baths of Diocletian (thermae in latin). The newest addtion to Termini (Mercato Centrale Roma) officially opened on October 5th – transforming the station into a new cultural and culinary centre.

The first floor of the market houses 15 vendors offering some of Italy’s culinary classics as well as some modern twists. Don’t let the food court-style seating fool you, each vendor prides themselves on the quality and authenticity of their food. There is an abundance of choices to satisfy any craving, but here are some of our highlights:

Baker Gabriele Bonci has brought his famous pizza al taglio (Roman pizza by the slice), foccacia, and cakes to the market.

For an authentic selection of meats and charchuterie, Mercato Centrale has recruited renowed butcher Roberto Liberati.

Beppe e i Suoi Formaggi – one of Rome’s best wine and cheese bars – can also be found in the market and offers an impressive selection of cheeses from Piemonte and Sardinia.

img_3343-1

It is hard not to notice the enourmous marble chimney at the centre of the market. Composed of Portuguese marble, this chimney was designed by Angiolo Mazzoni in the 1930s and acts as a focal point for the market.

IMG_3345 (1).JPG

On the second floor you will find additional dining space, a pantry-like grocer, as well as a small coffeeshop. However, the gem of the second floor is Michelin star chef Oliver Glowig‘s restaurant.

mercato-central-roma-2-1024x683

(cc: anamericaninrome.com)

The third floor houses space for cultural events and seminars – both private and public.

There is no denying the chaos and somewhat daunting nature of Termini Station, but the new Mercato Centrale is changing that by providing a welcoming environment for both tourists and locals alike.

Neapolitan pizza

pizza-napoletana

It ‘a round pizza with soft dough and high-sided (ledge) known as high. The “high” pasta is due to air, which during the phase of manipulation of the dough moves from the center outwards.
Classic Neapolitan dough is not allowed any kind of fat,only water, flour, yeast (beer or natural) and salt.
The cooking of the Neapolitan pizza, finally, is always and done exclusively through the use of the wood stove and then never using other cooking methods such as the oven. The pizza is one of the most common dishes in the world and is present in almost all restaurants and local Italian cuisine abroad.

Roman pizza

It’s a round pizza very thin, low and crispy. The dough is made with wheat flour type 00 or 0, water, yeast (or sourdough), olive oil (or to get pizza crisper using seed oil) and salt in proportions such that it is tough and consistent, so often make it necessary to prepare with a rolling pin.
