Whether you have 24 hours or a full week, here is how to master the city from our hub in Regola.
Our signature arrival day route, named in honor of Spanish master painter Ramón Gaya who lived and painted in this very apartment.
Take an official airport taxi straight to Piazza Farnese.
Turn on the air conditioning and stock the fridge with cold beers from Johnny's Off License.
Stroll from Piazza Navona to the Church of Saint Louis of the French, then to the Basilica of Saint Augustine, on to the Pantheon, and ending at the Trevi Fountain.
Eat delicious artisan pizza at Piccolo Buco.
Stop at historic wine bar Il Vinaietto on the way home.
Taxi to the Colosseum for an external view, then walk through the Roman Forum.
Located at Via di Parione. Incredible buffalo mozzarella boards and lasagna, just steps from the pad.
Walk to Piazza Navona. Grab a classic supplì at I Supplì dei Coronari and visit the Pantheon.
Morning interior tour of the Colosseum. Dinner at Seu Pizza Illuminati in Trastevere.
Early entry (8:00 AM) to the Vatican Museums. Lunch at Trapizzino near Piazza Risorgimento.
Follow the 2-day plan, then add:
Morning at Galleria Borghese (book 2 months out). Afternoon shopping on Via Condotti and a sunset view from Janiculum Hill.
Our favorite way to see Rome. Beyond the classics:
Rent e-bikes at the Appia Antica Service Center. Ride past ancient tombs and aqueducts.
Visit the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj for mind-blowing opulence without the crowds. Farewell dinner at Armando al Pantheon.
A curated walking route dedicated to the master of chiaroscuro across central Rome:
Visit the Cavalletti Chapel to see the revolutionary Madonna di Loreto (Madonna dei Pellegrini) with its barefoot Madonna and dirt-soled pilgrims.
Steps away in the Contarelli Chapel, view the complete Saint Matthew cycle: The Calling, Inspiration, and Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (bring coins for the lighting box).
Stroll to Via del Corso to admire Rest on the Flight into Egypt, Penitent Magdalene, and John the Baptist inside a breathtaking private palace.
Head to Palazzo Barberini for the dramatic intensity of Judith Beheading Holofernes, Narcissus, and Saint Francis in Meditation.
Walk to Piazza del Popolo for the Cerasi Chapel to see The Crucifixion of Saint Peter and The Conversion on the Way to Damascus.
Finish in Campo Marzio at Vicolo del Divino Amore where Caravaggio lived and worked (and cut a hole in the ceiling). Just down the street near Via dei Prefetti is the home of his muse Maddalena Antognetti, whose doorstep inspired Madonna di Loreto.
