Casa dell'Architettura
As Rome gets its cultural groove back, a new league of themed cultural case (houses) is keeping culture-vultures busy. One of the lesser-known gems is Esquiline's Casa dell'Architettura. Set in a beautifully restored fin de siècle aquarium designed by Ettore Bernich, its flouncy, glass-domed hall regularly hosts architecture-themed exhibitions. It has a slick design-themed bookshop for coffee-table cred, and a raffish little garden for the concrete-jungle fatigued.

Oppio Caffè
A glass-and-metal exposed-brick café-bar, Oppio has fabulous views of the Colosseum from the outside tables. It’s a great place for a beer, cocktail or aperitivo (€10; 5pm to 10pm), and has regular live music, plus DJs playing lounge, jazz and house, and wine tasting on Thursday evenings.

Libreria del Cinema
It’s difficult to know in which category to put this place, as it’s a bookshop-café, but we’re putting it here as a perfect coffee-and-snack pitstop. There’s aperitivo from 6pm. And, of course, you can browse the impressive cinema book collection too.

Ideal for frittering away a morning, lunch, afternoon or evening, this appealing café-bar has greenery-screened tables out on the captivatingly pretty Piazza Madonna dei Monti with its fountain. As well as drinks, it serves lipsmacking snacks, from simple pizzas to cheeses and salamis.
