Sundays are the perfect day to embrace the Italian way of \u201cil dolce far niente\u201d\u2014the sweetness of doing nothing\u2014so relax and enjoy the slower pace of this laid-back day. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rain or shine, Sunday is the ultimate day to rest in Rome. Passionate soccer fans head to the Stadio Olimpico to catch a match, families enjoy a stroll through the center or one of the many parks, others flee to nearby towns for the day, and young people indulge in brunch or lunch. And unlike many in European cities, many of Rome\u2019s shops and restaurants stay open on Sundays\u2014so seize the day!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n

Go on a passeggiata <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They say that \u201call roads lead to Rome,\u201d and those roads sure are beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spend a relaxing day strolling through the vias<\/em> of the Eternal City. Walk into the world\u2019s largest historic center, from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia all the way to the Pantheon and Largo Argentina. Rome\u2019s piazzas<\/a> are a marvel, and a sunny Sunday is the perfect day to explore this millennia-old city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, make your way across the river and get lost in the beautiful streets of Trastevere, amidst hanging clothes, colorful palazzos<\/em> and bird\u2019s eye views of the city. Grab a picnic blanket and enjoy reading a book in Villa Borghese or Villa Doria Pamphilj. Or better yet, rent a bike and explore the Parco degli Acquedotti<\/a> with its Roman aqueducts. The options are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy brunch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the concept of brunch hasn\u2019t really kicked off in Rome, there are some great places where you can enjoy this delicious Sunday ritual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the weather is nice, enjoy a brunch picnic at the stunning Villa Doria Pamphilj Park\u2014justreserve your picnic basket online and pick it up on the selected day at nearby Vivi Bistrot<\/a>. The basket is complete with a bagel with salmon, cream cheese and arugula; organic yogurt with crunchy muesli and honey; pancakes with maple syrup; water; coffee and freshly squeezed citrus juice, all for just \u20ac25 per person! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa

If you\u2019re in the Ostiense neighborhood, head to Sophie and Domenico\u2019s Marigold<\/a> for some delicious French toast, avocado on rye, eggs Benedict, cinnamon swirls and so much more! Another delicious option, just steps away from Piazza Navona, is Coromandel<\/a>, with a  range of delicious bagels, omelettes, pancakes and apple pie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catch a free museum on the first Sunday of the month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What better time to catch a gallery exhibition than on the first Sunday of the month, when many public museums in Rome are completely free? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This involves not all but some state-owned museums, galleries, parks and gardens. And yes, the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are on the list! Not to mention the Borghese Gallery\u2014which requires you to book in advance\u2014the Baths of Caracalla, and the stunning Villa D\u2019Este and Hadrian\u2019s Villa, both in nearby Tivoli. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also included in this wonderful initiative are the four museums that hold the collection of the Museo Nazionale Romano: Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, Crypta Balbi and the Terme di Diocleziano. For the full list of state-owned heritage sights, visit the official tourism website of Rome.<\/a> Just keep in mind that temporary exhibitions are not included in the site visit\u2014only the permanent collection comes free of charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local\u2019s Tip<\/strong>: Instead of offering free access on the first Sunday of the month, the Vatican Museums offer free entry on the last Sunday of the month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy lunch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What kind of a Sunday would it be without indulging in a delicious lunch? As we were saying before, you\u2019ll be able to find plenty of restaurants open on Sundays in Rome! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For traditional Roman food, head to Testaccio\u2019s Flavio al Velavevodetto<\/a> and order a plate of cacio e pepe<\/a><\/em> or gricia<\/em> pasta. If you\u2019re in Trastevere, head to the small and friendly Le Mani in Pasta<\/a> for amazing seafood dishes and Roman specialties! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cacio
Is there anything better than a long, leisurely pasta lunch on Sunday in Rome? (No, no there isn’t.)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For something more light, Parioli\u2019s Zero<\/a> restaurant\u2014serving healthy and delicious food from wok noodles to tuna tartares\u2014is your best bet. While in the center of Rome, Ginger Sapori e Salute<\/a> is another great healthy option. But the list is endless! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re one of those soccer fans who just got out of the stadium and is searching for something to put in your stomach, head to Ponte Milvio\u2019s Panificio Nazzareno<\/a> for pizza and more, or Roma Beer Company<\/a> for juicy burgers. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
