Prati
Your prestigious home in Rome
Overview
Pretty, prestigious Prati.
This neat, grid-like neighbourhood is a shopper's paradise. It has designer boutiques as well as high-street staples. You'll find many of them lining Via Cola di Rienzo. It's Rome's most famous shopping street.
Prati is not only about spending money. It's also about earning it. Many a business has set up camp here. Their offices hide among the shops, cafés, and restaurants that make Prati the classy place it is.
What can I do here?
Prati is full of life in a way the tourists don't always see or understand. We're talking about the hustle of day-to-day life.
But if you'd like to do some sightseeing, there are plenty of sights to see.
The Vatican is on your doorstep. So is Castel Sant'Angelo. One's the centre of the Catholic World, the other's a 2000-year-old mausoleum-turned-fortress-turned-museum.
So there's something for everybody.
Time to relax?
It's a little-known fact that there are plenty of lively bars, cafés, and restaurants to choose from in Prati. Why not enjoy a relaxing drink after spending the day browsing in boutiques?
Sip a rich red wine over a tagliere of delicious Italian cheeses and meats at Il Sorpasso. Sounds like heaven to us!
Delicious fact
Welcome to Rome, a city made famous by its ice cream (kind of). If you enjoy the finer things, go to Prati's Gelateria dei Gracchi. The gelato here is often named the best in Rome.
