Carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and supplì: a guide to essential Roman dishes and where to find them.
2026 marks the opening of the new "Beyond the Pantheon" tour, which for the first time grants access to previously closed spaces inside the best-preserved temple of ancient Rome and the adjacent Basilica of Neptune. A 45-minute tour that costs around €12 — a small price for a truly unique experience.
The Scuderie del Quirinale hosts until June 2026 one of the most anticipated exhibitions of the year: masterpieces from the ancient Egyptian civilisation sourced from major Egyptian museums. An extraordinary collection spanning four thousand years of history.
The Auditorium Parco della Musica, named after Ennio Morricone, returns to enliven the Roman summer with a line-up of international concerts: from Ludovico Einaudi to John Legend, from Ben Harper to Gregory Porter. The venue, designed by Renzo Piano, makes every concert a special experience.
Rome's museum of contemporary art reopens in 2026 with a new director and a completely revamped programme. Great news for contemporary art lovers who want to discover the capital's most innovative side.
Rome was named the world's most walkable city in 2025, and in 2026 it remains the best way to discover it. From the Colosseum to Trastevere, from Piazza Navona to the Vatican: everything is reachable on foot and every alley hides a surprise. Bring comfortable shoes and let curiosity be your guide.
Trastevere, literally "across the Tiber", is the neighbourhood that captures Rome's most authentic essence. Once a working-class rione, it has become one of the most loved areas among travellers from around the world — without losing its soul.
The ideal day starts with a coffee in Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, facing the basilica with its golden mosaics. From there, getting lost in the alleys is a must: every street tells a story, every corner hides a Madonnella (the votive shrines dotting the neighbourhood) or a street art mural.
For lunch, choose from historic trattorias that still serve traditional Roman cuisine: carbonara, cacio e pepe, coda alla vaccinara. The afternoon can be spent visiting Villa Farnesina to admire Raphael's frescoes, or strolling through the Botanical Garden.
Before sunset, the climb to the Janiculum Hill rewards you with one of the city's most beautiful panoramas. In the evening, Piazza Trilussa and the surrounding lanes come alive with the neighbourhood's vibrant nightlife — bars, wine bars and restaurants that stay open until late.
Our properties — Terrazza Munira and The Art House — are located in the heart of Trastevere, just steps away from it all.
Roman cuisine is one of Italy's richest and most genuine culinary traditions. Here are the dishes you absolutely must try during your stay.
Rome's signature dish: pasta (rigatoni or spaghetti), crispy guanciale, pecorino romano, eggs and black pepper. Nothing else. The simplicity of the ingredients hides a perfect balance that requires great skill. Beware of versions with cream — authentic carbonara doesn't include it.
Just three ingredients — pasta (tonnarelli or spaghetti), pecorino romano and black pepper — for a dish that is pure magic. The creaminess comes from the emulsion of cooking water and pecorino. A masterpiece of simplicity.
Guanciale, San Marzano tomatoes, pecorino romano and a touch of chilli. Traditionally served with bucatini. A dish that tells the story of Lazio, from the mountains of Amatrice to the Roman table.
The supplì (a rice croquette with a melting mozzarella heart) is Roman street food par excellence. Also try pizza al taglio — Rome has its historic pizza-by-the-slice shops, where the pizza is crispy, light and cut by weight. And to finish, an artisan gelato or a maritozzo filled with whipped cream.
