If you’re looking for something to do after a day of museum-hopping and cobblestone strolling, make your way down to Lungo il Tevere and spend your evening by the river
Every summer, the banks of the Tiber River transform into one of Rome’s most beloved gathering places. Lungo il Tevere Roma, now in its 24th edition, is the open-air festival that takes over the stretch between Ponte Sublicio and Ponte Sisto from 5 June to 24 August 2026, bringing with it restaurants, bars, markets, live music, exhibitions, and a packed calendar of cultural events that draws an expected two million visitors each season.
Whether you’re looking for a late dinner, a post-sunset cocktail, or simply a place to wander with good company, this is where Rome spends its summer nights.
The festival runs every evening from 7pm to 2am across 80 nights of continuous programming. This year’s edition includes 60 commercial stands, 15 food and drink outlets, 3 dedicated cultural areas, and over 200 artistic performances across the full run.
On the food side, expect everything from Roman street food classics to international kitchens, wine bars, craft beer, and cocktail stands set directly on the riverbank. The market area covers handmade jewellery, artisanal products, textiles, books, and accessories from local and regional producers.
Entertainment this year includes live screenings for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, foosball tables, and various games and installations scattered along the walkway, enough to fill an evening even if you arrive with no particular plan.
With four entrances at Ponte Cestio, Garibaldi, Sisto, and Sublicio, and numerous ways to experience the walk, Lungo il tevere is the place to be on a gorgeous Roman evening. You do not want to miss this modern summer staple of Rome.

The dishes will be paired with selected wines, offering visitors a chance to discover new combinations and interpretations of Italian gastronomic tradition.
Participating chefs include Matteo Lucchetti and Ardit Arizaj from Aroma Restaurant, Antonio Covuccia from Circolo Ufficiali Forze Armate, Giovanni Cappelli from Le Tamerici, Fundim Gjepali from Antico Arco, Marco Ciccotelli from VICI Bistrot & Ristorante, Davide Mandarino from Molo 29 and Danilo Mancini from Anavà. Gelato will also play a role in the programme, with Eugenio Morrone and Rosario Nicodemo presenting gastronomic gelato for GelatoxRoma.
Awards and special projects
During the event, Vino X Roma will also host the presentation of two awards: Quality First and Galleria del Gusto. The Quality First award, promoted by Excellence Magazine, celebrates quality, excellence and innovation within Rome’s local food markets, recognising historic businesses, digitally innovative projects, female-led activities and street food concepts that best represent the city’s food culture.
New for this edition is Galleria del Gusto, created in collaboration with main sponsors Etirya and Domus Artis. The award will be dedicated to restaurants that integrate contemporary art into their spaces in an authentic and permanent way, transforming the dining experience into a dialogue between cuisine, aesthetics and artistic expression.
Vino X Roma 2026 is supported by the Camera di Commercio di Roma, Regione Lazio and Lazio Innova. Media partners include YUMEH Events & Digital Marketing Agency, FoodMediaShow and Romeing.

From May 6 to 10, 2026, Taste of Roma returns to the city to celebrate an important milestone: its first ten years. For this edition, the festival changes setting and chooses the Gazometro as its new location, one of the most symbolic places in contemporary Rome, which for five days will be transformed into a large village of taste filled with tastings, talks, masterclasses, and DJ sets.
The change of venue is not simply logistical, but also reflects the evolution of the event itself. With its post-industrial identity, the Gazometro gives Taste of Roma a fresh and more urban energy, in tune with a city that is constantly changing and with an audience that is increasingly broad, diverse, and curious. It is a choice that reinforces the festival’s contemporary character and seems designed to welcome both passionate food lovers and a new generation of gourmets.
More than 20 restaurants, from big names to new openings
In 2026, the heart of the festival remains the same: offering the chance to sample, in one place, some of the most interesting dining experiences in Rome. The programme brings together more than 20 restaurants, including long-standing protagonists of the event, established chefs, and new openings that are helping to redefine the city’s gastronomic scene.
Alongside the tasting itineraries, the programme also includes masterclasses with chefs, talks, themed tastings, and in-depth moments dedicated to the world of food and beverage, while throughout the five days the festival will be animated by DJ sets by RDS, the event’s media partner.
In the first days of the festival, from May 6 to 8, the Gazometro kitchens will welcome some of the best-known names in Italian and Roman dining. These include Heinz Beck of La Pergola, Angelo Troiani of Il Convivio Troiani, and Daniele Usai of Il Tino. Joining them will also be Giulio Zoli of Nomos Ante, Andrea Cavallaro of Sbracio, Nicolò and Manuel Palescandolo Trecastelli of Trecca, Davide Del Duca of Osteria Fernanda, Roberto Bonifazi and Francesco Brandini of Tribuna Campitelli – Bottega 13, Danilo Mancini of Anavà, Natale Giunta of Oro Bistrot, Leonardo Malgarini of Casa Malgarini, and Federico Salvucci of Fase.
It is a line-up that brings together a wide range of styles, from Michelin-starred cuisine to charcoal-grilled cooking, from contemporary trattoria fare to more distinctive chef-driven approaches, offering an interesting snapshot of Rome’s dining scene today.
The chefs from May 9 to 10
On May 9 and 10, the programme will continue with more notable names. Alongside returning chefs such as Heinz Beck, Andrea Cavallaro, Davide Del Duca, and Nicolò and Manuel Palescandolo Trecastelli, the line-up will also include Andrea Pasqualucci of Moma, Heros De Agostinis of Ineo, Koji Nakai of Nakai, Alessandro Pietropaoli of The Green Restaurant at Hilton Roma Eur La Lama, Ciro Cucciniello of Carter Oblio, Giacomo Zezza of Bistrot 64, Yamamoto Ejii of Sushisen, and Anastasia Paris with Futura – Laboratorio di cucina.
This second group also reflects a clear desire not to focus only on the most established names, but to present a broader view of Rome’s restaurant scene, shaped by Eastern influences, attention to sourcing, technical research, and new projects.
Opening hours and ticket options
In line with its aim of attracting a broader and younger audience, Taste of Roma 2026 offers different ticket options. Alongside the standard ticket, there will also be solutions such as the Open ticket, valid for any date, as well as other dedicated formulas. Official opening hours are from 6 to 8 May, 6.00 pm to midnight, while on 9 and 10 May the festival will also be open for lunch, from 12.00 pm to 4.00 pm, in addition to the evening session from 6.00 pm to midnight.
In a city where opportunities to eat well are never in short supply, Taste of Roma continues to stand out because it offers something simple yet rare: the chance to experience different cuisines in one place, compare approaches, discover new restaurants, and enjoy food in a less formal way. After ten years, the festival no longer seems interested only in celebrating itself, but in opening a new chapter, one that feels more dynamic and more in tune with the Rome of today.
For anyone who loves food, of course, but also for those who want to observe Rome through one of its liveliest languages, Taste of Roma 2026 is one of the city’s food events to mark on the calendar.

Over 50 exhibitors, handcrafted jewelry, vintage fashion, design objects and gourmet finds in one of Rome’s most atmospheric industrial spaces.
On April 11 and 12, Unique Mkt returns to animate the spaces of Industrie Fluviali, in the heart of Rome’s Ostiensedistrict. For one full weekend, the former factory with its industrial charm transforms into a vibrant hub of contemporary creativity, where aesthetic research, craftsmanship, and a culture of beauty come together across three levels filled with atmosphere, from indoor rooms to bright terraces.
With more than 50 exhibitors from across Italy, the market offers a curated and varied route designed for those who love discovering independent brands, artisanal production, and high-quality creative work.
The selection is broad and thoughtfully curated, moving from the world of visual arts, with illustrators, painters, watercolorists, and textile artists, to artistic craftsmanship, with handmade ceramics often produced as one of a kind pieces or in small series, contemporary jewelry ranging from minimalist to richly textured designs, hand poured vegetable wax candles, and design objects created for a refined and sustainable home.
Special attention is also given to the botanical and natural world, with terrariums and plant compositions, as well as to the textile sphere, with tailored clothing, handmade accessories, and leather bags crafted using traditional techniques. Each stand tells its own story, revealing a creative process and an ethical vision shaped by quality, research, and conscious production.
A particularly refined vintage selection will also be part of the event, featuring clothing and objects spanning different decades, from the 1970s and 1980s to rare pieces from the 1940s, chosen for their aesthetic value and their timeless appeal, ready to be reinterpreted and given a new life.
Food will also play an important role, with producers of outstanding gastronomic specialties, including olive oil, honey, lavender, and products from the Tuscia area, bringing authentic flavors and artisanal traditions into the city. On the terrace, a plant based food corner will offer the perfect setting for a lunch break or an afternoon snack, while a second outdoor area, furnished with seating and deck chairs, will invite visitors to enjoy the sun and the relaxed atmosphere of the event.
The exhibition path continues on the lower ground floor where, alongside the stands, visitors will also be able to take part, by reservation at +39 349 5375235, in a Kintsugi workshop led by Florentine artist Gioia Di Biagio. It is an opportunity to discover an ancient Japanese technique that transforms cracks into elements of value, combining artistic practice with a reflection on imperfection.
Unique confirms itself not simply as a market, but as a cultural and sensory experience: a place of encounter and discovery, where visitors are invited to slow down, explore, and feel inspired, entering into a direct dialogue with artisans and their creations.
The Location
Another strong point is the location. Industrie Fluviali is easy to reach by Metro B (Piramide) and Ostiense railway station, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors. For those arriving by car, there is an agreement with two guarded parking facilities about 200 meters from the venue, with a 25% discount dedicated to Unique Mkt visitors.
Unique confirms itself as one of the most anticipated appointments for anyone looking for authentic creations, thoughtful details, and independent realities capable of telling a story through each piece, a story made of passion, vision, and craftsmanship. Entrance is by voluntary donation.
The event dedicated to wine lovers will be held at San Paolo District with labels from all over Europe.
The independent fair for natural wines returns to Rome on March 7–9, 2026 at San Paolo District. Here, wineries from all over Europe come together to share the values of healthy agriculture and low-intervention winemaking. A great opportunity for fans of natural wine, which rightly joins the prestigious tradition of Italian wines as a contemporary and sustainable option.
The 2026 edition, the sixth, will bring together over 120 independent winemakers from Italy and across Europe, with producers traveling from France, Spain, Slovenia, and Austria. Expect distinctive, character-driven wines that may challenge convention, yet remain deeply rooted in their places of origin. Beyond the tasting tables, the program will also feature moments of discussion and cultural insight focused on sustainability, rural transformations, and mindful drinking.
This year’s big new addition is the opening party, “Naturalmente Selvaggi!”, scheduled for Saturday, March 7 from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, again at San Paolo District: free entry, with drinks served at cost. The evening will spotlight groups of winemakers (including some not present during the official fair days), with a focus on specific regions and local collectives, including the Associazione Vignaioli Vulcani Laziali and Senza Meja, spanning the Collio and Carso areas across Italy and Slovenia, with wineries such as Radikon, Nikolas Juretic, and Paraschos. Distillers, fermentation-focused producers, coffee makers, and “natural” artisans will also be there, alongside talks and informal meetups.
After an incredible edition last winter, RWF is back in its 14th year!
Rome Whisky Festival 2026 takes place on February 28 and March 1 at Salone delle Fontane in EUR, bringing a full weekend dedicated to the “king of distillates” to the heart of Rome. Now in its 14th edition, the festival returns with everything fans have come to love, plus new highlights and surprises.
Set in the spacious Salone delle Fontane, it’s the perfect setting to celebrate the world of whisky and brown spirits (Armagnac, brandy, Cognac, and rum), gathering producers, experts, and enthusiasts in the Eternal City.
The Roma Whisky Festival& Brown Spirits is designed for everyone in mind, catering to whiskey connoisseurs and also engaging those just wanting to discover. This spirits festival held annually in Rome also attracts an international attendance–from whisky producers, importers, and distributors who are already familiar with the magnificent distillate to the whiskey curious. And of course always appealing to those longtime whiskey drinkers, the whiskey bars and the bartenders who bring the spirit to new light with their whiskey cocktail concoctions.
For this edition as well, there will be exhibitor stands and spaces showcasing the most important companies in the industry. Additionally, there will be a revamped Vintage Area, dedicated to historical bottlings – an exclusive space designed for those who already appreciate the essence of this magnificent spirit and wish to explore rare and unique editions.
Access is by ticket, purchasable online or on site, and includes a tasting kit with an exclusive Glencairn glass to take home. Tastings at the various stands and signature cocktails at the ORO Whisky Bar are paid for with tokens (available for purchase by card or cash at the festival’s internal cash desks and non-refundable). Masterclasses are not included in the entry ticket: each has a set price determined by the organizing companies and can be purchased online or at the event, subject to availability. Introductory ABC courses held every 30 minutes cost €5 (5 tokens) and can be bought at the festival’s central desk.
After the first two weeks of February, RCRW returns from March 16 to 30, 2026: a new format inspired by New York Restaurant Week, designed to discover the city’s best food and drink destinations.
The first of its kind, Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week is a goodwill effort from the heart that brings together restaurants, cocktail bars, chefs, bartenders, and sommeliers, bringing people into their establishments.
A grassroots community-driven initiative built from the bottom-up, spreading the word amongst key influential figures, writers and professionals working in the hospitality, bar, and restaurant sector, the first edition of Rome Cocktail Bar & Restaurant Week 2026 will generate local engagement, while igniting the passion and shared desire to develop a strong network amongst industry professionals and in turn, elevating Rome and everyone who visits and lives there.
“Inspired by hometown’s ‘NYC Restaurant Week’ which came to light during the time I spent alone in Rome during Covid, I wanted to help the industry I came to love – places that felt like home and people that became family. So channeling my old ad agency days and taking into account every PR event, product launch, wine and food-focused expo, chef demo, bartender guest shift, bar takeover, cocktail week and bar show, I created a unique formula. The result is a two to four week event that entices new customers into select establishments around Rome” explains Lauren Caramico, founder of Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week.
From the already internationally-acclaimed cocktail bars and Michelin star rising restaurants to long-loved establishments, secret underground spots, and hot new openings – some housed in the most incredible 5-star hotels – diners and drinkers will get a taste of the very best of Rome.
The first “wave” is on Monday, February 16th until Monday, March 2nd 2026 with a second wave from Monday, March 16th to Monday, March 30th – a time chosen from several reasons – these are the hardest weeks of the season when hospitality needs the most support and also the best time for seasonality of food, but more importantly – it creates a unique solution to overtourism and doesn’t contribute to it.
The mission of Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week is simple: promote the hospitality industry in the best way possible – getting people excited to explore the city- and getting them to walk through the door.
How it Works
Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week will have a unique format, inviting and incentivizing people with special RCRW menus and “deals” during the event duration. Unlike NYC Restaurant Week, Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week will not have set prix fixe menus that all participants must adhere to but instead allows RCRW participants –the restaurants and bars – the freedom to choose from a range of options between: special aperitivos, signature drinks, signature drink menus, brunch, lunch, dinner or after-dinner drink specials – always with the option for patrons to order from the venue’s regular menu once they are there.
All RCRW offers will be completely unique to Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week, offerings that cannot be found on the menu outside the event’s duration, mostly at lower-than-normal price points also featuring a few “extras” for those RCRW customers who are “in the know”.
The Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week special menus format also promotes sustainability, giving venues the freedom to change or create drinks/dishes in real time, encouraging customers to come back for a second visit and try something totally new.
Simply mention “Rome Cocktail Bar & Restaurant Week” aka RCRW when booking reservations online (making note of it in the special requests/comments section on each venue’s booking site) OR use it as your “secret password” to find out each participant’s special RCRW menu in person. There will also be one-page flyers on display at each venue with a QR code to learn more about the program and the RCRW participants.
Targeting multiple segments of equal importance, RCRW appeals to Roman locals, expats who live in Rome currently, Italian and international tourists, professionals in the restaurant/bar/hotel industry, respected journalists, key figures and influencers who work to promote these industries, and food & drink lovers/connoisseurs from all over the globe.
RCRW Purpose & Goals
Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week aims to marry the food & beverage and Italian hospitality sector, challenging previous beliefs and behaviors and introducing a new offer and approach to dining – with the goal of integrating – and growing – integrate the restaurant & cocktail bar community in Rome all while cultivating new and long-lasting relationships with the locals who live in Roma. RCRW is meant to get people excited about going out during the low-season months, making them feel good about eating and drinking for a good cause i.e. contributing to their city in the most fun way.
Explore the RCRW Participants…
By showcasing select venues vetted for a certain level of standard, Rome CocktailBar & Restaurant Week Participants represent establishments with high-quality cocktails and food from gourmet bar bites to fine-dining and fine wines. Here are the first official RCRW Participants:

Club nights, DJ sets and events in a historic venue in the city centre
Finding a real club in central Rome is getting harder every year. That is exactly why Teatro Centrale Roma stands out: it is one of the few nightlife venues still operating right in the historic centre, just steps from Piazza Venezia.
Originally founded in 1900, this former theatre has been revamped into a modern, multi-purpose venue that blends culture, live shows, and club nights under one roof.
Why Teatro Centrale is worth it
Teatro Centrale is not a tiny bar pretending to be a club. It is a proper venue with a serious setup for sound, lights, and visuals, plus a layout that actually works for events and dancing.
1,350 sqm split into orchestra, stage, gallery, and foyer
Capacity up to 250 seated, 600 standing, or around 180 for dinner-style event
It is also a venue with a long cultural history, hosting major Italian artists over the decades, and it has been under new management since 2019.

Entry fees
Standard entry: €5
Wristband entry (with gallery access): €10
Tables: from €35 per person
Music: pop, reggaeton, electronic, house, rock, and techno music
Beyond club nights, Teatro Centrale is built for events: live performances, corporate events, gala dinners, and private parties are all part of its identity, thanks to the stage, acoustics, and technical equipment.
Who is Teatro Centrale for?
Go here if you want:
a club in Rome city centre (rare, and that is the point)
a weekend night of commercial hits, reggaeton, and house
AGM on Monday, the classic “start the week dancing” move
a venue that can also host big events in a historic setting
The latest season of Rome’s Monday night parties kicks off at the Teatro Centrale.
Who said Monday nights are for staying at home? Any Given Mondays’ parties have been infusing the Italian capital with energy since 2009. Picture this: a unique blend of pop, reggaeton, electronic, house, rock, and techno music – it’s a Monday night out like no other.
Any Given Mondays’ nights are known for welcoming a diverse crowd: from students to hipsters, to artists, Rome’s intellectual crowd, Erasmus students, the most dedicated club enthusiasts and even DJs and musicians… Any Given Mondays is universally acknowledged as the go-to Monday night out in Rome.
Any Given Monday, or AGM, made its debut on 12 October 2009 at Locanda Atlantide, an underground venue in the historic San Lorenzo neighbourhood, near Rome’s La Sapienza University. Right from the start, a magical aura took hold of those four walls… and a promising beginning quickly transformed into a dazzling journey.
Since then, Any Given Monday has come a long way, becoming Rome’s most beloved Monday night party. After a long stay at the iconic Qube, Rome’s quintessential nightclub, AGM ventured other renowned venues, such as Circolo degli Illuminati, Piper, Lanificio, Rome Vintage, Eden, Nour Bar, Planet, and more.
AGM 2025/26 Season at Teatro Centrale in Rome
And here we are today, entering the era of the Teatro Centrale, just steps away from Piazza Venezia. Built at the beginning of the last century, this venue is the perfect stage for AGM. It is certainly cleaner and more polished than the San Lorenzo venue in 2009, smaller than the QUBE in 2012, but with the same unchanged and unchanging essence.
AGM’s 17-year journey spans nearly a thousand unforgettable Mondays, each one lived as a mission: on Mondays we party, be it rain or shine, in the warmth of summer or the chill of winter, through joys and challenges.
The walls of Teatro Centrale now house AGM’s legendary nights, welcoming those eager to experience the dazzling beauty of Rome on a Monday night.
This venue seems to have been tailor-built for this weekly event, way back in the 1900s. Here, everyone can find their place: the youth filling the stalls, and the seasoned veterans watching from the gallery above.
In Rome’s vibrant nightlife scene, one thing is certain: Monday in Rome is synonymous with Any Given Monday, and every single Monday night, if you’re in the mood to celebrate, a fantastic party awaits you.
Step into 2026 with flair by attending a cultural event at one of the city’s museums, libraries, cinemas, music halls, and more.
The central theme of ROMA CAPODARTE 2026 will be the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Italian Constituent Assembly (1946–2026). Taking place on January 1, the initiative will once again enliven Rome with a city-wide cultural marathon featuring over 100 events, almost all free of charge, across every neighbourhood.
This fifth edition aims to honour the journey toward freedom that emerged from the resistance against Nazi-Fascism and laid the foundations for our democracy. To underline the value of this legacy, 10,000 copies of the Italian Constitution will be distributed free of charge throughout the day during events held across all 15 of the city’s districts (Municipi).
On January 1, the city hosts 100+ events across squares, museums, theatres and venues in every neighbourhood, with three main stages lighting up different areas of Rome.
Piazza Navona kicks off at 3:30pm with a comedy line-up (Beatrice Rigillo, Emanuela Cappello, Raffaello Corti “Faccestamagia”, and poet-performer Lorenzo Maragoni), then from 6–10pm becomes a tango ballroom for the New Year Milonga with tango icons Daiana Guspero and Miguel Ángel Zotto, followed by DJ Lavinia Livi.
Outside the centre, Rampa Prenestina (Municipio V) hosts a live concert-show from 6pm with Andrea Rivera, Margherita Vicario, Villa Ada Posse, StabLinda, and Baro (with vocalist Lyst), plus six art installations.
At Acilia Station (Municipio X), from 6pm there’s a K-POP show with dance and meet & greet, followed by hip hop/breakdance crews; from 8pm a rap-focused stage features Piotta, Nesli, Beba, and Jelecrois.
Live Music & Performances
On January 1, live events take over squares, museums and theatres across the city. In Via Margutta (3–6pm), an open-air concert alternates music with readings from the Italian Constitution. At the Capitoline Museums (6:30pm), actors Massimo Wertmüller and Anna Ferruzzo present a staged reading from Homer’s Iliad with live music, turning epic into a contemporary reflection on peace and the Constitution’s rejection of war.
At Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone (3–8pm), Il Primo Ballo is a city-wide dance “invasion” featuring tango, swing, balfolk, urban dance and standard ballroom across indoor and outdoor spaces, plus a workshop-performance on manipulative rhetoric (Come parla il perfetto dittatore, 5pm). Elsewhere, concerts and shows continue in multiple districts—from swing with Constitution-themed readings (Piazza Balsamo Crivelli) to community performances (Piazza Roberto Malatesta), a Constitution-focused show with the inclusive Blind Inclusive Orchestra (Teatro Tor Bella Monaca), and an intergenerational programme of music, theatre, readings and comedy at Pinispettinati (Municipio VII). The day also includes a theatre piece on Artemisia Gentileschi (Ex Fabbrica Campari) and a musical marathon at Ponte Milvio featuring readings on freedom of expression, art and culture.
Talks, Readings & Cultural Itineraries
At Palazzo Esposizioni (6pm), a reading-performance tells the story of Adele Bei, one of the “mothers” of the Constituent Assembly. In Piazza Cina (3:30–6pm), Constitution readings are paired with a talk by social educator Azzykky. Teatro del Lido (6pm) hosts Madri Costituenti, a reading and discussion inspired by Piero Calamandrei’s 1955 speech and the stories of the women of the Constituent Assembly.
In Largo Alessandrina Ravizza (3:30–7pm), artists and residents co-create three murals, each dedicated to a constitutional value, accompanied by live readings. Four themed cultural itineraries explore symbolic places in Rome linked to specific constitutional articles (including routes in Villa Borghese, Porta Maggiore, and San Lorenzo), plus visits to the Bunker at Villa Torlonia (3pm and 4pm).
Cinema & Screenings
In Trastevere, Spazio S.c.e.n.a. presents a New Year film programme with a tribute to Gian Maria Volontè (Il terrorista, 4pm) followed by Paola Cortellesi’s C’è ancora domani (6pm). At Casa del Cinema (Villa Borghese), two Vittorio De Sica classics screen: Sciuscià (11am) and Ladri di biciclette (8pm), alongside the documentary Figlio di Giano (5pm). Nuovo Cinema Aquila hosts an event focused on Article 1 (“Italy is a democratic Republic founded on work”), with discussion and selected documentary excerpts, plus a screening touching on globalisation.
Activities for Children & Families
At La Pelanda (Mattatoio) from 3pm to 7pm, La Repubblica del gioco offers cooperative games, collective building activities, circus practices and performances inspired by constitutional principles such as community, participation and freedom. Palazzo Esposizioni hosts a kids’ art workshop (Dritti ai Diritti, 4:30–6pm) focused on imagining new rights and creating posters. In Municipio V, Teatro Biblioteca Quarticciolo runs a creative writing lab (4pm) linked to Article 21 (freedom of expression).
Several public libraries also join with themed readings and displays tied to key constitutional articles (work, peace, freedom of thought, culture/environment, equality).
Theatre, Music, Cinema & Encounters
The day opens with the traditional concert by Rome’s Local Police Band in Piazza di Spagna (12pm). The Teatro dell’Opera di Roma proposes La prima Opera buona dell’anno (from 3:45pm), with music, talks and guests, plus a photo exhibition in the foyer. Palazzo Esposizioni hosts a special literature–cinema–memory route that ends with a film screening, while Casa del Jazz features a live concert (6pm).
Across the city, additional concerts and events take place in museums and cultural venues, Ara Pacis, Capitoline Museums, Palazzo Braschi, Centrale Montemartini and Villa Torlonia, alongside talks, DJ sets, electronic music takeovers, theatre performances and monologues.
Many civic museums and the temporary exhibitions they host are free to visit throughout the day, along with major venues such as Palazzo Esposizioni, the Mattatoio and MACRO. A few flagship exhibitions are available with reduced admission, and some experiences require advance online booking (including Circo Maximo Experience, Villa Torlonia’s Bunker visits and Planetarium shows).
Several archaeological areas are also open, while curator-led visits and guided tours by the Sovrintendenza Capitolina offer deeper insights into exhibitions and collections, including special walkthroughs at the Capitoline Museums, Ara Pacis, GAM and Palazzo Braschi.

Mirabelle Restaurant at Hotel Splendide Royal
Mirabelle Restaurant | Via di Porta Pinciana, 14 (Veneto)
For some years now, New Year’s Evein piazza has become fashionable in most Italian and European cities. In the most beautiful squares, on the longest night of the year, streams of people gather to celebrate together while listening and moving to live music concerts and other performances. Rome is no exception, and this year’s event promises to be a mega concert starting at 9pm, followed by a DJ set by the local radio station Dimensione Suono Roma. The event will take place at Circo Massimo and is completely free of charge. Initially, the lineup included Alessandra Amoroso, Fabri Fibra e Tananai.
Fireworks
Where to see fireworks in Rome on New Year’s Eve
The best spots in Rome where to enjoy New Year’s Eve fireworks displays are many. Starting from the magnificent Colosseum, an already suggestive and exciting scenario, to Castel Sant Angelo, where light plays with water from the river, to Piazza del Popolo, after a nice walk in the centre, or the Pincio terrace just above. Among the squares, another wonderful option is Piazza Navona, but for a slightly more global view, one of the city’s heights, such as the Gianicolo hill, the Zodiac at Monte Mario or the Giardino degli Aranci, is better. Whichever spot you choose, don’t miss Rome at its best!
