Rome may be famous for the Colosseum, but some of its best experiences are hidden away from the main streets. Start by exploring Villa Doria Pamphili, Rome’s largest landscaped public park, where you’ll encounter rolling hills and Renaissance architecture. Next, visit the Aventine Keyhole—a small, unassuming peephole offering a perfect view of St. Peter’s Basilica framed by gardens.
Don’t miss Coppedè, a neighborhood where fairy-tale architecture meets modern-day charm. The streets here are lined with whimsical buildings that look like they’ve come straight out of a storybook. End your day by sipping on wine at Pigneto, a trendy district packed with locals enjoying the authentic Roman nightlife.
