Piazza of the Knights of Malta

Rome is a city of magnificent, well-known squares (piazze) that everyone must see when they visit (Piazza Navona, Piazza San Pietro etc.). However, many of the Eternal City’s most beautiful and charming piazze don’t fall on the typical tourist-trodden paths and are woven throughout the smaller streets and neighborhoods. These are often the most unexpected and delightfully surprising scenes to stumble into while you are exploring. So, keep an eye out for these piazze when you’re in town, and take note of whether you might want to plan a lunch, dinner, or stop of aperitivo as you take in each of their unique atmospheres. ⭐️Check out the details page on each of the below with notes from me that include specific recommendations at each piazza!

From rooftops to street corners and everything in between, don’t miss these unique places for awesome views and photo opps. Check out the "Details" section for each with more info!
