When to visit Rome? It is a question that admits of many answers, all of them correct, since there are so many facets to this extraordinary city: the time is always right.

Among these magical periods, March, April and May stand out, when the soul becomes inclined to discovery again, the desire to indulge in breaks grows and, above all, the days become pleasantly warm.

Spring in the Capital
The air of March, April, and May has a completely different flavor. It’s the start of the spring season, filled with pleasant outdoor aperitifs, a desire to explore, discover, and share.
It’s impossible to summarize the endless opportunities offered by the Eternal City when it comes to things to do and see in spring in Rome. However, we’ve prepared some itineraries to inspire you.
Itineraries
Start with a walk to reach the nearby Quirinal Hill, the ancient residence of the Popes and now the seat of the President of the Italian Republic. The next stop is the Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s symbols, where we recommend tossing a coin to ensure your return to the Eternal City. From here, proceed to the Spanish Steps, famous for the Barcaccia Fountain, exclusive shopping, and the staircase leading to Trinità dei Monti, where you can enjoy a panoramic and enchanting view. The itinerary continues with a visit to the Pantheon, one of the city’s oldest and best-preserved monuments, and finally arrives at Piazza Navona, famous for its three baroque fountains and works of art.
A journey through the sacred and profane soul of the city, where the old and the new coexist perfectly. Start with a walk to Campo de’ Fiori and its bustling daily market. Then, head to the Jewish Ghetto, one of Rome’s historic neighborhoods, known for its architecture, synagogues, and rich history. The next stop takes you to Tiber Island, an islet in the Tiber River with a suggestive atmosphere and a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding bridges and palaces. Continue your visit to Trastevere, an authentic and picturesque neighborhood famous for its nightlife and characteristic venues, where you can join in the city’s lively scene.
Travel along Via Nazionale, heading towards the Trajan’s Market, an ancient complex of buildings built by Emperor Trajan. Your next stop is Piazza Venezia, one of Rome’s most famous squares, where you’ll find the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II. Continue to the Capitoline Hill, where some of Rome’s most important historical buildings are located, including the Senatorial Palace and the Vatican Apostolic Library. Your final stop is the Colosseum, reachable by crossing the evocative Via dei Fori Imperiali, where you can admire the most important symbols of ancient Rome. Once here, to make this itinerary even more complete, you can continue to the Circus Maximus, one of the largest Roman stadiums in the ancient world.
The “Roma Ciumachella” itinerary starts with a walk to Via delle 4 Fontane to visit the Church of San Carlo, the most important Baroque church. Pass by Palazzo Barberini and head towards Barberini Square, known for Bernini’s beautiful Triton Fountain.
