Ruby Giulia’s spot on the main street between Roma Termini station and the city’s top landmarks makes it a great base for a visit to Rome.
City centre & Shopping
The Colosseum and Roman Forum are just 20 minutes away on foot. But with window-shopping and people-watching galore en route, prepare for slower progress.
If you’re in the mood for some serious retail therapy, detour to Via del Corso
for those big brands. Or – if your wallet can handle it – hit up Via Condotti for a dose of haute couture.
Once you’re rocking that chic new look, follow in the footsteps of Audrey Hepburn and make for the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. Feeling daring (and honest)? Try your hand in the Bocca della Verità, the Mouth of Truth.
Food
When it’s time to refuel, pick up picnic bits at the market in Campo de’Fiori, and wander over to Piazza Navona to check out the fountains. Or, for something more filling, find a cosy spot serving the simple but delicious local favourite: cacio e pepe. Either way, be sure to pick up a gelato for the road.
Culture
If you’re seeking something more sacred, cross the Tiber to the Vatican
and soak up the atmosphere in St Peter's Square. For a moment of reflection, the shady cool of St Peter’s Basilica is a must, along with marvelling at the work of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.
Views
Time for a sundowner? Then make tracks back to – where else? – Ruby Giulia. Drink in hand, pick a spot on the rooftop to watch the sun set and the fairy lights flicker on.
