  The 6 best places for coffee in Rome<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  1. Antico Caff\u00e8 Greco\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  The Caff\u00e8 Greco<\/a> is a historic landmark. Stunning to behold, it\u2019s been on the Via dei Condotti (one of the fanciest streets in the city) since 1760, and is the oldest bar in Rome<\/a>. Among the figures who have enjoyed an espresso here are Goethe, Byron and Keats, just to name drop a few.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  Local tip:<\/strong> Try to visit when it\u2019s less crowded, around opening and closing time, so that you can really take a good look around and soak in the literary vibes.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
