Quadraro is a residential district in Rome with a powerful identity, located southeast of the city center. It's famous for its role during World War II, particularly the devastating Nazi raid of 1944, earning it the nickname 'Wasp's Nest'. Today, Quadraro is also a dynamic open-air museum of street art, with memorable murals by international artists. It's a place to experience the real, everyday Rome beyond the tourist trails, with local markets and authentic trattorias. Quadraro is easily accessible via the Metro A line. The best time to visit is year-round, but spring and autumn are convenient for walking around and exploring the street art.
