PLACES TO VISIT IN THREE DAYS IN ROME

Head down the luxurious Via dei Condotti for some mandatory window-shopping until you

see the grand Fendi store. Take a left here and you’ll be on your way to the Trevi Fountain.

If you’re not keen on mass tourists or you’ve seen the famous ‘Dolce Vita Fountain’ before, in

this same direction at the end of Via del Corso is the magnificent Palazzo Doria Pamphilij.

This privately owned palace hosts one of the most incredible collections of art and sculptures

in Rome. Aside from the art, it is worth the entrance fee, just to enter this palazzo and see how

Roman aristocracy lived once upon a time.

Start your day in the historic centre of Rome,

where you can wander down cobblestone

alleyways, through romantic piazzas, shop,

eat and take in the heart of the city all on

foot.

Let’s start at Metro stop Spagna. You

walk out and you’re in Piazza di Spagna,

often referred to as the Spanish Steps. Head

to the right up Via del Babuino towards

Piazza del Popolo. Stop for a caffè at the

famous cafe/bar Canova, where you can

people-watch in the seats facing the piazza

or pay less and drink your coffee at the bar

Italian-style.

From here wander up the path that winds

from Piazza del Popolo to the lookout in

Rome’s most beautiful park Villa Borghese.

This spot is called Pincio and allows a

panoramic view over the entire city. You

can stroll through the gardens to the lake

where you can hire a rowboat or to the

opulent Galleria Borghese, for classic art

in a breathtaking palazzo. But if your time

is limited, head back down to Piazza del

Popolo.

You might be hungry at this point. Walking

back down Via del Babuino, turn left down

a little side street called Via Margutta.

At number 1 you will find Babette

(06.3211559), where you can enjoy a

delicious but gourmet buffet either inside

or out in their courtyard in amongst chic

locals and stylish visitors from the nearby

Hotel de Russie. Don’t forget to try their

secret recipe ‘Torta di Babette’–this lighter

version of cheesecake made with ricotta is

scrumptious.

After a lazy lunch wander down the length

of Via Margutta and you’ll find one of the

prettiest streets in Rome, filled with art

galleries and a serenity that contrasts

with the rush of people in nearby Piazza di

Spagna.

From here you can head back up Via del Corso, cross the elegant Piazza San Lorenzo in

Lucina (stop for a coffee at the cafe/bar Ciampini if you want to gaze at some truly elegant

men and women of Rome) and up Via Campo Marzio on your way to what I believe is the

best monument in Rome: the awe-inspiring Pantheon in Piazza della Rotonda.

To take the beauty overload even further, from

here cross to Piazza Navona, with its spectacular

fountains and atmosphere; however, eating in

this piazza is strictly for tourists. Slip down the

little alleyway near Caffe Bernini and wind your way

through to Via dei Coronari. Here you will find one

of best gelateria in Rome: Gelateria del Teatro.

Rest your feet a while in this picturesque setting

while licking white chocolate and basil or fig, ricotta

and almond gelato.

You might be ready for an aperitivo. Among the

options we recommend are Salotto 42 in Piazza

di Pietra, Enoteca Il Goccetto on Via dei Banchi

Vecchi, and Camponeschi in Piazza Farnese,

where if you’re lucky, you can enjoy an aperitif at

one of the tables outside.

For dinner, we invite you to read our guide to the

best restaurants in the historic center of Rome.

After dinner, Bar del Fico in Piazza del Fico is

always great for drinks and socializing, as well as

Osteria delle Coppelle.

our guide to the best restaurants near the Vatican.

Walk into the charming Borgo Pio, a small and peaceful maze of narrow streets. Just a

few steps from Borgo Pio, you can visit one of Rome’s symbols: Castel Sant’Angelo (or The

Mausoleum of Hadrian). The view over the roof of Rome that you can enjoy from the terrace

is worth the ticket price. Catch a bus or taxi to Trastevere and spend the afternoon getting

lost in its rambling laneways, perhaps indulging in yet another gelato in the main square of

Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere. Around sunset you can head up to the nearby bar

Freni e Frizioni on Via del Politeama or to Cvlto near Piazza Trilussa for a great aperitif. After

which, just around the corner in Piazza della Malva, you can devour a plate of traditional

Start your morning in the cool and

charactertistic neighborhood of Monti

(Metro Cavour). Have breakfast or morning

tea out at the Antico Forno ai Serpenti

on the corner of Via dei Serpenti and Via

Panisperna, a bakery filled with delicious

pastries and sweets. Take a stroll around this

quaint but trendy quarter and pick up some

vintage finds and pick up a piece of pizza or

a panino-to-go from one of the little pizzerie

al taglio (pizza by the slice) before heading to

a tour of the Colosseum, just down the road.

You may want to visit the Imperial Forums

while you’re in this area. And just a bit

further on, in Piazza Venezia, it’s worth

venturing up to Il Vittoriano, or the big white

wedding cake monument, for the frescoes,

the views of the city and the sheer grandeur

of the building.

From here it’s just a short walk down to

the Jewish Ghetto, which is filled with old

palazzi and the cute little square Piazza

Mattei with its famous turtle fountain. The

Jewish Quarter in Rome is also a great

spot to partake of delicious fresh bread or

a traditional Jewish-style fried artichoke.

Jump in a taxi from here and for about

€10/15 you can get to Testaccio, the working

class neighborhood with some rustic spots

for serious foodies. Take a stroll through the

beautiful Non-Catholic Cemetery, a place of

quiet and peace that gently pulls you away

from the city traffic. And don’t forget to

visit the Testaccio Market (open only in the

morning until 3:30 pm), it’s the perfect place

for a leisurely foodie day out with the locals.

At aperitivo time, head to Piazza Testaccio

where you’ll find several bars to enjoy a

refreshing beer. For dinner, you’ll be spoiled

for choice. Try Pecorino on Via Galvani 64,

or Fraschetta di Mastro Giorgio on Via

MUST-SEE

p

Sara Nadia Cappelli

Welcome to Rocca Massima, a medieval

hilltop village perched 730 meters

above sea level in the Lepini Mountains.

From this picturesque setting, a cable

stretches across valleys and hillsides,

offering you the chance to live a oncein-a-lifetime

adventure that combines

thrill, beauty, and freedom in equal

measure.

FLY AT 172 KM/H: EUROPE’S LONGEST AND FASTEST ZIPLINE ADVENTURE!

A Flight You’ll Never Forget

The zipline at Flying In The Sky is no ordinary ride. Measuring 2,225 meters in length and

suspended up to 210 meters above the ground, it stretches from Rocca Massima to the

foothills of the Lepini range, offering a vertical drop of 350 meters. Riders reach an average

speed of 110 km/h, with a maximum velocity of 172 km/h, making it one of the fastest

ziplines on the planet. What makes this experience even more extraordinary is that it’s

accessible to almost everyone. Unlike paragliding or skydiving, you don’t need any special

skills or training. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a nature lover, or just someone looking for

a new adventure, Flying In The Sky is the perfect way to embrace the sensation of flying —

safely and securely.

What to Expect: The Experience from Start to Finish

Your journey begins in the heart of Rocca Massima, just 60 km from Rome, easily reachable

by car via the A1 motorway (exit Valmontone). After a short check-in, you’ll be fitted with all

the necessary equipment, harness, helmet, and gear certified to international safety standards.

The staff is professional, friendly, and ready to guide you through every step.

Once you’re set, you’ll head to the launch platform at 730 meters elevation. Take a deep

breath, admire the view… and then it’s time to fly! As you’re released, you’ll feel the surge of

adrenaline as the ground drops away and the wind rushes past you. For nearly a full minute,

you’ll glide through the air like a hawk, crossing over ancient olive groves, rugged limestone

cliffs, and dramatic karst valleys, all under the open sky. The arrival point is located at 380

meters altitude, where a team is waiting to help you land smoothly and safely. From there, you

can choose to take the shuttle bus back to Rocca Massima (included in your ticket), or opt for

a scenic trekking route if you’re up for a bit of post-flight adventure on foot.

Book online with just a €5 deposit at www.flyinginthesky.it, or send a message on WhatsApp:

is more than an activity - it’s a memory that will stay with you forever. If you don’t have a car

to reach Rocca Massima, a shuttle service is available from Cisterna di Latina railway station

at a cost of €20 per person (round trip).

Il Marchese unites the best of two worlds: a bar with

elegant French salon accents and pompous chandeliers,

and a restaurant with the coziness of a Roman trattoria.

But it’s not just the décor that’s impressive. When you

walk into Il Marchese you step inside Europe’s first Amaro

bar with more than 500 different Amaro labels.

During the recent G20 in Rome, Il Marchese had two

special customers: the American First Lady Jill Biden

and the French Première Dame Brigitte Macron. The two

ladies said they were “delighted with the lovely welcome”,

complimenting the staff and the quality of the products.

ll Marchese takes its name from the Marchese del Grillo,

a symbol of Rome’s inimitable spirit– a true gentleman,

but always inclined to irony, a lover of tradition, but also

appreciated by those who come from different cultures.

Here, with Chef Daniele Roppo, you’re sure to have a

fantastic dining experience. The culinary philosophy has strong Roman roots and is inspired

by traditional recipes that are lightened according to a contemporary taste, also offering

vegetarian dishes. Quality is always a priority. Ingredients are purchased from local producers.

The amaro and cocktail bar at Il Marchese pays tribute to the elegance of 19th-century

French aristocracy, with precious stuccoes, wallpapers, and velvets. The cocktails here are

perfect for an after-dinner drink or as an aperitif. Each signature drink is crafted with premium

ingredients expertly mixed. Leading the cocktail bar is Fabrizio Valeriani, a bartender with

extensive experience.

Since then, Unique al Palatino Garden Restaurant has

The area has recently gained even more beauty and

tranquility thanks to the construction of a new sidewalk

along Via di San Teodoro, perfect for an evening stroll

Step into this garden restaurant, where blooming

flowers, centuries-old olive trees, and fragrant

citrus create a dreamlike escape. Unique al Palatino

Garden Restaurant offers traditional Italian cuisine

with a contemporary twist using innovative cooking

techniques. Ingredients are fresh and the produce is exclusively Italian for an emotional

experience around the Italian territory.We especially love their seafood offerings. As a starter,

we tried and adored their tuna tartare with avocado. For the first course, their delicate sea

bass ravioli with prawns, asparagus tips, and lemon zest is a must-try. And as a second

course, who could resist their frittura: delicious fried prawns and shrimp, still incredibly

delicate. There are also tasty options for vegetarians. The superb wine list and the excellent

It is no secret that Japanese cuisine has grown its way

restaurants have popped up in the last decade. However,

we often reduce Japanese culture to sushi, and (as

much as we love the creative ways you can enjoy sushi

in Rome) that is a disservice. Thankfully, Sake Boutique

Izakaya is here to show us a different side of Japan, and

to teach us about sake.Open in Piazza Albania (Aventino),

just south of Circo Massimo and north of Piramide, this carefully designed restaurant offers

an intimate experience from the center of Rome to the inside of a Japanese home. Truly, Sake

Boutique Izakaya offers an authentic food and drink experience – without too many frills.

A traditional Japanese izakaya is a place where you can sit down, drink, and eat something

simple convivially, sort of like an Italian osteria. Founded by the minds behind the popular

Sushi e Noodles franchise, Sake Boutique Izakaya unites traditional Japanese food to the art

of sake.

Here at Sake Boutique, sake – or should we say nihonshu? – obviously reigns supreme. With

over 30 types of sake, get ready for a journey as you taste the beverage on its own or cleverly

mixed in more elaborate drinks. But it’s not all: Sake Boutique also has Japanese whiskeys

and gins! The food menu is not extravagant, it’s grounded on simple dishes, childhood

comfort food – but made with quality ingredients. There is something for all palates: fish,

meat, vegetarian. And, of course, dessert.

Come here for lunch, aperitivo, dinner, or post-dinner, or even for a masterclass or a sake

tasting. You’ll be in for an authentic experience, designed with care and the utmost respect for

tradition.

Relax on couches or under their spacious umbrellas and

marinated salmon, yummy club sandwiches, buffalo

The aperitif is served every day between 5pm and 9pm. There is a fixed formula at 45 euros

which includes a drink (cocktail or glass of wine) accompanied by a selection of finger food,

also available for vegans and celiacs.

For two decades, this former mechanic’s workshop on Via

del Politeama 4 in Trastevere has been at the forefront of

Rome’s cocktail scene, shaping the city’s aperitivo culture

and welcoming thousands of visitors every night.

Set in the heart of Trastevere, Freni e Frizioni is more than

just a cocktail bar: it’s a cultural institution. Founded on July

4, 2005, by Luca Conzato, Cristian Bugiada, Stefano Angelini,

and Riccardo Rossi, it has celebrated its 20th anniversary in

2025, a milestone that marks not just the passing of time,

but the continued success of a creative, human-centered,

and entrepreneurial model that has left a lasting imprint

on Roman nightlife. The bar’s iconic buffet-style aperitivo,

especially popular in its early years, reimagined the way

Romans socialize over drinks, offering not just cocktails, but

an experience. Today, Freni e Frizioni continues to set the standard with an evolving menu

featuring timeless classics, creative twists, and signature drinks that reflect the best of global

mixology. Freni is more than a cocktail hotspot: it’s a melting pot where age, background, and

nationality blend effortlessly. That spirit of inclusivity and openness is perhaps the secret to its

longevity. This bar has never been about exclusivity, but about sharing real moments.

Once an auto repair shop, the bar still proudly showcases its mechanical heritage, with

original signage adorning the interior. Its distinctive vintage-industrial design, paired with a

creative selection of cocktails and beverages, has earned it international acclaim, including a

spot on the prestigious World’s 50 Best Bars list.

Charity Cafe, with its fully

stocked bar specializing

in whiskey, rum and killer

shaken concoctions, is the

jazz and blues aficionado’s

dream. It’s gritty New York

and Roman elegance fused

together with music nights

oozing from Chicago blues to

showcasing their grace.

For entrées one might get

THE NOA NOA

DIARY AND OTHER

ADVENTURES

6 September – 25 January

Museo Storico della Fanteria

Mon-Fri 9.30am-7.30pm; Sat-Sun

9.30am-8.30pm

Tickets €13-15

navigaresrl.com

After a long absence, Rome devotes a full

exhibition to Paul Gauguin. From September 6

to January 25, 2026, the Museo della Fanteria

hosts Gauguin. The Noa Noa Diary and Other

Adventures, produced by Navigare srl, and

curated by Vincenzo Sanfo.

The show brings together more than 160

works from Italian, French and Belgian

private collections, alongside loans from

Italian and French museums. Over

one hundred pieces by Gauguin -

woodcuts, drawings and lithographs

- anchor the display, joined by two

works attributed to him: the oil

Femme de Tahiti (1891) and the

watercolor Paysage Tahitien.

The centerpiece is the suite of 23 woodcuts

for the Noa Noa Diary (1893–94), written

during Gauguin’s first stay in French

Polynesia and illustrated with wood

engravings printed by Daniel de Monfreid.

The Polynesian strand continues with

16 color lithographs from the Ancien

Culte Mahorie series (1892), two 1893

sculptures (terracotta and bronze), the

patinated bronze mask “Tehura” from the

Musée Despiau-Wlérick, and a sketchbook

of 38 drawings spanning portrait studies,

anatomical details and animal motifs.

Also on view are facsimile lithographs

from Avant et Après, Gauguin’s final

book, completed in 1903 and published

posthumously, a hybrid manifesto-diary

of notes on art, friendships and the

preoccupations that shaped his late

thought. While Tahiti left a decisive mark

on his vision, the exhibition also tracks

Gauguin’s ties to the Western world,

France above all, and to his circle of

contemporaries.

GAUGUIN IN ROME: THE NOA NOA DIARY AND OTHER ADVENTURES

In that vein, the show includes 45 works

- drawings, prints and paintings - by

13 leading 19th-century French artists: the “friend-rival” Vincent van Gogh (with 12 color

lithographs), Jean-François Millet with the etching L’Angelus, Adolphe Beaufrère (four etchings)

and Louis Anquetin. From Pont-Aven and the Nabis come Maurice Denis (religious-themed

lithographs), Émile Bernard (the six hand-colored Bretonneries and an oil on cardboard), and Paul

Sérusier with L’adieu à Gauguin, on loan from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper.

Photographs, books, documents and artifacts round out the itinerary, offering a layered portrait of

Gauguin’s world between Europe and Polynesia.

FIRENZE JAZZ FESTIVAL

FLORENCE

Firenze Jazz Festival

The Florence Jazz Festival returns from September 2nd to 14th

Over 100 artists involved, 16 days of

programming, 9 venues, and more than

30 scheduled events: from September 2

to 14, 2025, the Florence Jazz Festival

returns for its ninth edition, marking a

new milestone in its growth.

Supported by an ever-expanding network

of partners, the Festival aims to establish

itself as one of the year’s most anticipated

events in Florence and beyond.

This edition heralds the return to the

Cascine Amphitheater, the symbolic space

that has already hosted unforgettable

moments in past years. A fully immersive

Festival, where music meets the pleasure

of conviviality thanks to a carefully

curated food & beverage offering. True to

its polycentric spirit, the FJF will alternate

its classic stages in the early days before

opening up, at the heart of the program,

to paths of artistic cross-pollination, experimentation, and encounter. A living venue where

the audience can mingle, discover, and be surprised.

As every year, the Festival features a guest graphic artist who defines its visual concept.

This year’s choice is PixelPancho, one of Italy’s most acclaimed street artists on the

international scene.

On the Main Stage of the Cascine Amphitheater “Ernesto De Pascale,” performers include

Alabaster DePlume, Alfa Mist, Bassolino, Coca Puma, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel

Duchamp, and Planet Funk.
