A short walk away, Piazza Risorgimento (150 m) is the neighborhood’s meeting point, with its morning market and connections to the city center. It’s an area frequented by both Romans and pilgrims heading to the Vatican Museums, with a less touristy atmosphere than the historic center but just as central.

A little further away, the Vatican Gardens (750 m) offer a different view of the Leonine Walls. Continuing toward the Tiber, you reach Castel Sant’Angelo (850 m) and, a little beyond, the striking Piazza Navona (850 m); those with more time can venture as far as the Trevi Fountain, about 2.2 km away, ideal for an evening walk when temperatures become milder.
