A stone’s throw from Rome’s Colosseum, you’ll find the up-and-coming neighbourhood of Monti. The area – abuzz with cool bars, one-off fashion boutiques and traditional restaurants – is loved by a loyal, local crowd. You’ll find endless gems of architecture, crafts, fashion and gastronomy tucked away its narrow streets and quiet corners. Smaller and less touristy than the nightlife hub of Trastevere, it retains a strong community vibe.
Located in the heart of Monti, the piazzetta has become a sort of local gathering spot. At night you’ll find groups merrily sharing bottles of wine on the marble steps of the flowing fountain. It is simple and modest as far as Roman fountains go, but it is the perfect place to relax and refuel from your biking holiday.
