Holidays in Rome: a walk towards the River Tevere and Trastevere.
Palazzo Olivia presents a series of itineraries to discover sites that are symbols of Rome. The starting point for your walk will be your apartment and the interactive maps will help you discover the history and particular features of Rome’s wonders.
When you leave Palazzo Olivia turn right and cross Corso Vittorio Emanuele. You are now in Piazza della Cancelleria. The papal administration ran the affairs of the church from the Palazzo della Cancelleria (A), one of the masterpieces of the Early Renaissance's architecture. On the other side, the square ends in Campo de' Fiori (B), one of the city's most entertaining places, with its colourful market. In the adjacent Piazza del Biscione, you can see the Palazzo Pio Righetti, built over the ruined Theater of Pompey (C).
Continue on Campo de' Fiori and take Via dei Baullari to reach the wonderful Piazza Farnese (D), a quiet square almost untouched by the city's traffic, with its monumental Renaissance palazzo created by Michelangelo and other great artists. Then proceed to Piazza della Quercia, a small square of the old Rome, with Palazzo Spada (E) and its picture gallery.
Turn right and reach the Lungotevere. You are now in front of the recently restored Ponte Sisto (F). Crossing the Tiber you can reach Trastevere. In our itinerary, however, we stay on this side of the river, walking by Via Giulia (G), one of the most beautiful streets in Rome. Take the pleasure of looking into the several courtyards hidden inside its noble buildings.
When you reach the small church of S. Filippo Neri, turn right in the small square. The buildings here once housed the papal prisons. Turn right once more and take Via di Monserrato (H), to start your way back home. Turning left, you can walk by Via dei Cappellari (I), proceed to Via del Pellegrino (L), and then come back to Campo dei Fiori, where you can have a well-deserved rest and a glass of wine in one of the coffee shops of the square.
