Rome's most charming rione, walkable from Via dell'Esquilino. Via dei Serpenti & Via del Boschetto are lined with cafes, wine bars and boutiques — great for morning coffee and evening wandering.
The Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori & Piazza Venezia. Where we walk June 16 after the Vatican — dinner at Ponte e Parione is right in the heart of it.
Cobblestone alleys, ivy-covered facades, lantern-lit piazzas — Rome's most romantic neighborhood. Dinner at Roma Sparita on June 17, then wander.
Upscale residential area north of the Vatican. Via Cola di Rienzo has good lunch & coffee — much calmer than St. Peter's Square.
