Roma - Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori

The Piazza Navona and Campo dei Fiori area sits right in Rome's historic centre, in the Parione district, just a short walk from the Pantheon and the River Tiber. Piazza Navona, built over the remains of the Stadium of Domitian, is notable for its elongated shape and three Baroque fountains, including Bernini's celebrated Fountain of the Four Rivers, facing the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone. Pavement cafés and street performers keep the square lively throughout the year. A few minutes' walk away, Campo dei Fiori hosts a traditional morning market selling fruit, vegetables and local produce, before transforming in the evening into a popular spot for aperitivo and Roman nightlife. A statue of Giordano Bruno stands at the centre of the square, marking its past as a site of public executions. The area is packed with trattorias, gelaterie and artisan shops, making it a convenient base for exploring Piazza di Spagna, the Pantheon or the Trastevere district, all within easy walking distance without needing transport.
