Lazy walk in Rome:Via dei Giubbonari

When the sky of Rome turns pink at sunset, here we are ready for a walk in the narrow streets of the historic center among ancient lights, religious shrines, and inviting windows shop.

I suggest you start from Piazza Chiesa Nuova, along Via dei Cappellari…

…to Piazza Campo de Fiori…

…and continue along Via dei Giubbonari.

Here you will find many shops and bakeries, many people walking in a delightful atmosphere, and ancient perfumes.

Waiting for the sunset, you can decide where to have a drink…

…maybe continuing to Piazza del Pantheon…

 

Piazza di Spagna

Here is THE square par excellence: Piazza di Spagna.

In your trip to Rome … you will definitely pass here.

You will walk in the crowd (always) and venture on the famous steps …

Not everyone knows that for designing the fountain in the center of the square, called “Barcaccia”, Bernini was inspired by an old boat beached during the overflowing of the river Tiber in the 15th century.

If you are romantic, do not miss a walk on the “Botticella” the characteristic little  coach, through the ancient streets of Rome!

But, if you are a little hungry, I recommend a stop for a quick lunch by GINA, right at the top of the climb Via San Sebastianello (on the left, facing the stairs) …

Or, even if it is not “Italian style”, a delicious stop by Babington’s, tea rooms, but not only …. a real treat!

Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona, the symbol of Baroque Rome, is one of the most famous squares of Rome.

Its shape is that of an ancient stadium, when usually the square was flooded in August to relieve the heat.
In ancient times the square was concave, the three fountains were clogged so the water came out to flood the square and offer refreshment to the people.

Surely you will passing through Piazza Navona, visiting Rome …

At number 71, a romantic door for an unexpected surprise, The Home Suite Rome, a Luxury Relais with suitable prices to the breathtaking view…

Don’t forget to look  up….

…and all around you.
