Don’t miss Monti if you love fashion, wine, Italian food and art galleries. This is *the* neighbourhood where Romans love to go for a drink.
If you’re looking for a lively neighbourhood with an urban vibe, Monti is the place to be. Monti – roughly the area between Termini and the Colosseum – was once a neighbourhood full of brothels, cheap taverns and craftsmen’s workshops. Those workshops are still there, though they’re now home to artists and designers. The taverns have been transformed into modern wine bars. Here, you can tuck into some street food or take a seat in one of the many trattorias. The combination of the somewhat dilapidated buildings, the large park and the trendy scene makes for an attractive film set. Just outside the hustle and bustle lies the church of San Pietro in Vincoli, home to Michelangelo’s Moses.
