Prati is Rome’s refined riverside district, just north of Vatican City, known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards and elegant early 20th-century architecture. Its grid-style streets—centered on the shopping thoroughfare of Via Cola di Rienzo—are dotted with stylish boutiques, artisanal food shops, and classic trattorias. Home to the majestic Castel Sant’Angelo and within easy walking distance of St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, Prati blends sophisticated urban living with cultural landmarks. Its evenings come alive with neighborhood wine bars and gelaterias, offering a local yet cosmopolitan charm.
