The Full Monti: Rome’s Cool Quarter
Thursday 8th March 2012 | Osh
Just a little way from Rome’s Colosseum, you’ll have access to the up-and- coming neighbourhood of Monti. It is overflowing with cool bars, fashion shops and traditional restaurants. It is loved by a local crowd and there is always a buzzing atmosphere.
Don’t be deceived by the narrow streets and quiet corners, it is here that you will find endless gems of architecture, craft, fashion and restaurants amongst them. It is ideal for the city’s young, creative flock, and has the new upstarts to prove it.
The neighbourhood is named after one of Rome’s seven famous hills, and pairs modernity with historical charm beautifully. This makes it more suitable for a variety of people.
It is less touristy and smaller than the nightlife hub of Trastevere, and therefore retains a strong community vibe.
