Itinerary

Piazza Barberini

20 min

This late Medieval square is a major hub in Rome's historic center. Its most famous feature is the Fontana del Tritone (Triton Fountain), a 17th-century masterpiece created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The square is also home to the Fountain of the Bees , another Bernini work.
Via Veneto

20 min

Known formally as Via Vittorio Veneto, this is one of the most famous and elegant streets in Rome. It became the symbol of "La Dolce Vita" in the 1950s and 60s, frequented by Hollywood stars and jet-setters.
Stop 3

25 min

Located in the heart of the prestigious Parioli neighborhood, Piazza Euclide offers a more local and residential look at Rome's "chic" side. The square is dominated by the grand Basilica of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Porta Pinciana

20 min

This ancient gate in the Aurelian Walls dates back to the 5th century and marks the monumental entrance to Via Veneto . Crossing it by sidecar is a captivating experience: on one side, you're faced with the sophistication of the "Dolce Vita," on the other, you're immersed in the greenery of Villa Borghese .
Quartiere Coppede

It's not a neighborhood as such, but an incredible complex of buildings located around Piazza Mincio . Designed by architect Gino Coppedè, it's a fantastic mix of Art Nouveau, Baroque, and medieval styles.
Stop 7

This historic street owes its name to the complex of four late-Renaissance fountains located at the intersection with Via del Quirinale. The fountains represent the Tiber, the Arno, Diana, and Juno. Walking along it offers one of the most beautiful perspectives in Rome: on one side, you'll see the obelisk of Trinità dei Monti and on the other, that of Santa Maria Maggiore.
Stop 8

25 min

This is one of Rome's most noble neighborhoods, home to much of Villa Borghese . It's an area filled with embassies, luxury hotels, and world-famous museums (such as the Borghese Gallery).
