For art it’s got to be Via Margutta

Posted on 18th March 2012 by

If you are an art lover, then when in Rome a trip to Via Margutta is an absolute must. You’ll find this narrow street, draped in ivy near to the Spanish Steps and you’ll immediately feel that you have gone back in time.

Once upon a time Via Margutta was the place where notorious artists and movie stars used to live and hang out, but now it has been reborn as an artistic haven and you will discover some gorgeous shops all with an individual charm.

The fact that Via Margutta is tucked away means that you will be away from the bustle of Rome and so can relax and take your time to discover that perfect work of art.

If your trip to Rome takes place at the end of October or beginning of November there’s even more reason to visit Via Margutta. The Centro Pittori Via Margutta festival takes over and more than 100 artists display their work.
