Some neighbourhoods capture the true spirit of Rome. Monti is one of them.
Tucked between the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, Monti is one of the city’s most charming neighbourhoods, where ancient history meets a contemporary, creative spirit.
Wander through its cobbled streets, discover independent boutiques, artisan workshops and hidden vintage stores, or stop for an espresso in Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, the neighbourhood’s lively heart.
With its intimate piazzas, colourful façades and effortlessly Roman atmosphere, Monti invites you to experience the city at a slower pace, away from the usual tourist routes.
This month, our What to Do in Rome series takes you through Monti, where tradition and creativity come together to reveal a different side of the Eternal City.
