The area, made up of cobbled alleys, Renaissance palazzos and artisan workshops, is among the most sought-after in the city for those who want to explore the main monuments on foot without giving up an authentic and lively setting, with venues such as Lyo and Ristochicco just steps from the entrance.

In the evening, Campo de’ Fiori comes alive with venues and nightlife, while on weekdays it hosts a historic morning market.
