Discover Rome’s Fantasy District with a Local

About this experience

Did you know that Rome has a neighbourhood entirely dedicated to the architect who helped build it?

The Coppedè neighbourhood, otherwise known as the Fantasy District, celebrates and features the work of renowned architect Gino Coppedè. Expect to see beautiful art nouveau buildings with Moorish arches, gothic gargoyles, floral and medieval details embedded in the buildings, even buildings that resemble castles!

We will start our excursion at the Fountain of the Frogs in Piazza Mincio and walk by the mesmerizing works of Gino Coppedè, before finishing our tour at impressive Villa Torlonia.

If you book the experience in the summer, we might even be lucky enough to see an open-air concert!
