Description: Our tour starts with a once in a lifetime breakfast at La Casa del Caffè. Located just around the corner from the Pantheon, this historic bar has maintained the charm, flavors, and dreamy scent of old Italian bars and cafes despite its super touristy location. Founded in 1944, this coffee house gives you the chance to taste the best coffee blends in the world alongside Italian pastries and traditional gelato. The place's must-try specialty is its unique coffee-flavored slush topped with fresh whipped cream (in Italian: granita al caffè con panna). A delicious little treat to start your day (and our tour) with some extra sweetness.

Description: Across the arch off Piazza delle Cinque Lune and right next to the Church of St. Augustin (and its Madonna by Caravaggio) is the Biblioteca Angelica, a XVII century library designed by Luigi Vanvitelli. The Angelica was founded in 1604 as the first European public library. Some 120.000 volumes are now enshrined in its multi-tier wooden shelving filling the long corridors and high ceilings. Time stands still when you are silently walking through the rooms of the Angelica. With its vaulted ceiling and three-story shelves, the manuscript room is probably the most impressive library space in the whole city.

Description: Via dei Coronari combines the charm of a Medieval alley with the grandeur of Renaissance palazzi and the prettiness of Baroque balconies and decorations. Local shops selling handmade jewelry, vintage clothes and eco-sustainable fashion, art galleries, antiquarian and furniture shops ("Hannau", street number 117, is a must-see), ice-cream shops ("Gelateria del Gelato" is also one of the best gelaterie in the whole city) and oh-so-Instraggramable bistros (I highly recommend "Casa e Bottega") are the heirs to the artisans' workshops and little shops that once made this street the vibrant heart of Rome's commercial life. The street allows some picturesque views of typical Roman buildings, a run on cobblestones and a distinctively local atmosphere.

Description: I promised you some pretty, postcard-picture views of Roman alleys. Any local who hears this description will certainly think of Via Margutta, the little street at the foot of the Pincian hill. Located parallel to Via del Babuino, the long street connecting Piazza di Spagna to Via del Popolo, Via Margutta is an historically important center for the arts in Rome. Originally, a multitude of artisans' and artists' workshops populated this charming street, which is now the location of art galleries, antiquarian shops, and fancy restaurants. This charming little street view is further embellished by vines climbing the walls and hanging from the windows. This is the perfect place to wander around, peer in the window shops of antiquarians and art galleries, shop one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry and look at artisans manufacturing marble eggs. Via Margutta offers the perfect snapshot to take as a souvenir of an alternative stroll in sunny Rome.

Description: Ever dreamed about eating carbonara and sipping red wine while surrounded by art as though you were in the middle of an actual museum? If you're an art lover with a sweet tooth for Italian dishes, you probably have. This Restaurant Museum located in the original premises of Canova's atelier will make your dreams come true. The restaurant maintains the peculiar atmosphere and the original arrangement of objects of the Neoclassic sculptor, making it a true time machine: plaster casts crowd the corners of each room, overlooking the elegant dining tables shoved between the objects. Statues of different size and subject are shelved and juxtaposed randomly just like in the days when Canova used the atelier to create his masterpieces. Eating in this museum/restaurant is a dreamy, romantic experience- not to mention the great Roman dishes on the menu.
