💡 Tips
- Tram line 2 from Piazza del Popolo is the fastest and most scenic way to travel the entire length of the Flaminio quarter.
- The MAXXI museum is noticeably quieter on weekday mornings, excellent for appreciating Zaha Hadid's fluid architecture without the crowds.
- Unlike the historic center, finding parking on the blue lines is sometimes possible here, but pay strict attention to the night-time street sweeping signs.
- Walk across the pedestrian Ponte della Musica at sunset for arguably the best modern vantage point over the Tiber river.
