For tourists looking to try out some of the fine food that Rome has to offer, whilst remaining undisturbed, Full Suitcase recommended a trip to Trastevere.

Another largely tourist-free district of the city, Trastevere is only a short journey away from the city centre, crossing the Tiber River, and has incredibly walkable streets.

Said to be a part of the city that is incredibly authentic to local life, the outdoor food market that can be found on Piazza di San Cosimato gives visitors the opportunity to sample a wide variety of Italian cheeses and pastries.

Whilst tourists are almost constantly surrounded by history during a trip to Rome, Full Suitcase noted that visitors wanting to see a slice of the city’s more recent past should walk down Via Margutta.

Located between the Spanish Steps of Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, the small and quiet street is notable thanks to its use in the 1953 film Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

In more recent decades, Via Margutta has become an incredibly exclusive spot in Rome, featuring very vibrant buildings, luxury restaurants and art galleries.

Finally, visitors wanting to escape the rush of the city almost all together were advised to travel to Aventine Hill, one of the famous Seven Hills of Rome.

Whilst travellers may have to wait a short while to visit the Priory Keyhole, a small opening that shows a fragment of the city, the hill is a good venue for going on some scenic, fresh air walks.

Tourists can also find plenty of history on Aventine Hill, which was used by the plebeians during the Roman era, featuring one of the city’s oldest basilicas, a large public building that typically stood beside a forum.
