The neighbourhood alternates period buildings with small shops, bars and informal restaurants frequented by both Romans and tourists, offering an authentic setting compared to the more touristy areas of the centre.

Roma San Pietro railway station is 1.2 km away, while Roma Termini is 5 km away. St. Peter’s Square can be reached in about ten minutes on foot (550 metres), and Rome’s historic centre is about 1.3 km away.
