Explore Quartiere Flaminio for a change of pace from Rome's ancient core. Walk past Zaha Hadid's curving MAXXI museum, Nervi's Stadio Flaminio, and the Auditorium Parco della Musica before drifting toward Villa Borghese's northern edge.
Reasons to go
Full description
Flaminio sits along the ancient Via Flaminia just north of the historic centre, but its current identity is defined by 21st-century architecture rather than antiquity: Zaha Hadid's MAXXI, Italy's national museum of 21st-century art, occupies a dramatic, curving concrete building that's one of Rome's few genuinely contemporary landmarks. The neighbourhood also holds Pier Luigi Nervi's mid-century Stadio Flaminio and sits close to the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Foro Italico sports complex across the Tiber.
It's a useful counterpoint for visitors who've spent days among ruins and churches and want to see how Rome handles modern design. Villa Borghese's northern edge is within easy walking distance.
