The area is animated by shops, restaurants and cafés open until late in the evening, and retains historic buildings such as Palazzo Barberini nearby.
The location makes it easy to get around on foot: the Trevi Fountain is about 500 metres away, the Spanish Steps 550 metres away and Piazza Venezia 850 metres away. The Barberini metro station is just 40 metres from the entrance, while Termini station can be reached in about 1.1 km.
