Via Margutta, located between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, has been home to artists and craftspeople since the Middle Ages. It is known for its galleries and art studios, some of which you can visit on open studio days. The street also featured in the 1950s film Roman Holiday, as the home of Gregory Peck’s character.

Come to Via Margutta during the 100 Pittori (100 Painters), an open-air art festival held in spring or fall—check the website for exact dates. Alternatively, Rome is at its best during the shoulder seasons, with fewer crowds and mild weather. Or visit around the winter holidays, when Via Margutta is lit up with festive decorations.

For a quieter experience, come to Via Margutta in the early morning, before the traffic begins and the tour groups arrive in nearby Piazza di Spagna. You might have the street all to yourself. Otherwise, aim for late afternoon, during the pre-dusk golden hour, when the lighting conditions are best for taking photos.

That depends. If you’re in the area already and are planning on a quick stroll through Via Margutta, count on around 20 minutes to browse a few galleries and photograph some of the colorful buildings. Add an hour if you would like to grab lunch or dinner nearby.
