This enchanting bookshop exudes old-world charm, with its towering shelves laden with ancient texts and treasures. Hunt down that secret bookcase that opens up to the backrooms. 

This small but mighty beautiful baroque church is tucked away in the back streets behind Piazza Navona. Have a drink at the bar on the first level, a peruse of the exhibitions and enjoy the atmosphere of this place. 

Admire three wonderful  Caravaggio works in the Contarelli Chapel. Before you leave the church, check out Domenichino’s faded 17th-century frescoes of Saint Cecilia in the second chapel on the right. 

Part vintage boutique, part treasure trove, Malke Albert Vintage is especially worth visiting for its hand-painted ceramics – colourful, characterful pieces that feel far more personal than standard souvenirs. Alongside rails of vintage clothing and eclectic homewares, you’ll find beautifully imperfect plates, bowls and decorative objects with a distinctly Mediterranean feel, making it an easy stop for anyone wanting to bring a little piece of Rome home.
