VIA DEL BABUINO:
It’s the elegant part
of the shopping in Rome. It joints
Piazza di Spagna to Piazza del Popolo,
with the charme and the prestige of
corners of Rome like Via Margutta, the
Anglican Church and the Palazzo
Matteolli. The most important world
griffes have their shop windows on this
short and wonderful road: Armani,
Tiffany…
You can notice the most expressive views
inside the front doors, with their
little halls which surprise the visitor
who finds itself in the middle of
luxuriant gardens where it can read a
book in quiet, sipping a cup of coffee
or it can contemplate some pictures of
an art gallery or it can listen to
excellent music. Twinned with Madison
Avenue, the elegant street of New York,
Via del Babuino distinguishes itself for
its numerous antique shops and for
several prestige palaces like the “Cerasi”,
or the “Nanier” (1821) and the “De
Russie Hotel” (1816 – 1818), both
projected by Valadier. You can
reach it from Piazza di Spagna (metro A)
or Piazza del Popolo (Flaminio metro A
stop).Car : 3.1 km, 5 min
