Tour In Rome

Trastevere doesn’t need to be introduced. Any tourist spending some days in Rome enjoy a walk along its narrow cobblestone streets and take a picture of the Basilica Santa Maria in Trastevere. But what we would like to write about here, is something a little bit more unusual, yet of really great interest, that can be done in the Trastevere area.
For those who love markets, Porta Portese is definetely a must. Located at the namesake square, Piazza di Porta Portese, it is the largest market in Rome and operates every Sunday morning from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it at Porta Portese: brand new and second-hand clothes, old bicycles, suitcases, bags, home accessories, plants, Cds, furniture, toys, nick-nacks, food. And all in a blaze of colours and smells.

Another interesting place to visit in Trastevere is the Orto Botanico, a botanical garden operated by the Sapienza University of Rome. It is located at Largo Cristina di Svezia 24 and is open from Tuesday to Saturday. Lying on the slope of the Janiculum Hill, that is one of the best locations where to take a breathtaking view of the city’s skyline, it was established more than one hundred years ago, and precisely in 1883. It features a beautiful Japanese garden and a thick bamboo groves, and among its 3000 species, there are bonsai, carnivorous plants and tropical plants including orchids and euphorbia.

Get off at Barberini station (metro A) to enjoy a half-day trip in one of the most sophisticated areas of Rome.
Piazza Barberini, created in the XVI century, lies in a privileged position of the centro storico of the capital, in a very elegant neighbourhood. Going up the stairs of the underground you will soon be impressed by the beauty and wealth surrounding you, of which the many restaurants lining the square are just an example. At the centre of the piazza is the Fontana del Tritone, sculpted by Bernini in the XVII century, and on one side is the Cinema Barberini, one of the most famous of the city, with plenty of new movies every week. The cinema becomes a trendy haunt at nights, and many locals meet up at the entrance to enjoy long chats before watching films.

If you are thirsty for culture, don’t forget to visit Palazzo Barberini. The building, which gave the name to the square in the XVII century, is situated in via Quattro Fontante, just 200 metres from Piazza Barberini. It is home to the National Gallery of Ancient Art, that includes works by Bernini, Caravaggio, Perugino, Raphael, Tiepolo, Tintoretto and Tiziano. Palazzo Barberini was initially designed by Italian architect Carlo Maderno, but it is mainly famous for two sets of stairs: the large squared by Bernini and the smaller oval by Borromini.

The Circus Maximus, with its 621 metres in lenght and 118 metres in width, was the largest stadium in Rome used for public games and mass entertainment at the time of Roman Empire.

It could host about 270.000 people, which was a quarter of the total population of Rome, and was primarily used for chariot racing, one of the most popular sport at that time.
Chariot racing was dangerous but of great impact for the viewers, and always generated strong enthusiasm among the audience.

It was erected in the 2nd century BC and rebuilt several times in the following centuries, due to the fires in which it was destroyed.

Nowadays the Circus Maximus occasionally hosts concerts and events of large dimension. The Italian World Cup victory celebrations in 2006 were hold there, as well as the British rock band Genesis concert an year later.
