| Albergo Ottocento - The main shopping street in Rome: Via del Babuino |
| VIA DEL BABUINO: It’s the elegant part
of the shopping in Rome. It joints Piazza di Spagna to Piazza
del Popolo, with the charme and the prestige of corners of Rome
like Via Margutta, the Anglican Church and the Palazzo Matteolli.
The most important world griffes have their shop windows on this
short and wonderful road: Armani, Tiffany… You can notice the most expressive views inside the front doors, with their little halls which surprise the visitor who finds itself in the middle of luxuriant gardens where it can read a book in quiet, sipping a cup of coffee or it can contemplate some pictures of an art gallery or it can listen to excellent music. Twinned with Madison Avenue, the elegant street of New York, Via del Babuino distinguishes itself for its numerous antique shops and for several prestige palaces like the “Cerasi”, or the “Nanier” (1821) and the “De Russie Hotel” (1816 – 1818), both projected by Valadier. You can reach it from Piazza di Spagna (metro A) or Piazza del Popolo (Flaminio metro A stop). Car: 1.8 km, 3 min Foot: 900 mt, 13 min |
