After a quick lunch at one of the area’s bistros or small restaurants, the tour continues to 'the most beautiful remains of Roman antiquity’, as Stendhal described the Pantheon, and Piazza Navona, one of the urban masterpieces of the Roman Baroque. The day ends in the monumental and picturesque Campo de’ Fiori, where, in a convivial atmosphere and at a relaxed pace, you can enjoy a traditional aperitivo and dinner in one of its characteristic outdoor restaurants.
