Things to do in Rome
-
A
Babington's Tea Rooms
- Rome, Italy
- Restaurants › Café
More English than the English, and right by the Spanish Steps, Babington's has been serving Earl Grey to homesick tourists since the 19th century. You'll need the kind of budget worthy of a grand tour: a full high tea costs around €29, but what else can you do when you have a crumpet craving?

Porta Portese Flea Market
To see another side of Rome, head to this mammoth flea market. With thousands of stalls selling everything from rare books and spare bike parts to Peruvian shawls and MP3 players, it's crazily busy and a lot of fun. Keep your valuables safe and wear your haggling hat.

Al Presidente
Al Presidente is a discreet, greenery-shrouded place, under the walls of the presidential palace and which also has outdoor seating in summer. Its sophisticated air is matched by the seafood- centred menu. Innovative dishes include baccalà whisked into polenta and grilled, and trippa di coda di rospo (tripe of angler-fish tail), but it also does a lipsmacking pasta all’amatriciana.
