My favourite thing to do in Rome on Sunday afternoon?
After the Porta Portese flea market (of course) is walking around the city: the Trastevere area, the Ghetto, Monti... To get lost in all the small streets in the heart of the city, waiting for the sunset drinking some beer.
One of my favourite restaurants in Rome?
Santo Palato, close to San Giovanni. It's typical Roman style but with a modern twist. One of my favourite bars is Bar D'amore in piazza Vittorio Emanuele II where I love the atmosphere. Perfect for breakfast, reading a book or for meeting friends in the afternoon.
The best shopping area in Rome?
Is Via del Governo Vecchio (some amazing vintage shops) and I also love the Monti area, and Mercato Monti (Via Leonina 46) on Sunday's.
I live in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, near the Termini station and it's a funny place for "people-watching". But also Trastevere, Pigneto and San Lorenzo, of course.
Favourite museum or art gallery in Rome?
One of my favourite places is the Botanical Garden (Largo Cristina di Svezia 24) and going in and out of the churches (there are almost 1000 churches in Rome!).
The museums I prefer are Centrale Montemartini, Galleria Borghese and Gagosian Gallery.
