Discover Garbatella, Rome’s distinctive 1920s neighbourhood, where lush courtyards, picturesque architecture and village-like streets create a world away from the city’s well-trodden tourist routes. Explore the rich urban history and stories that have shaped Rome’s most atmospheric and distinctive neighbourhood.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer famously transformed Madrid's Hortaleza district into a snow-covered Moscow for the 1965 production of Doctor Zhivago. Decades later, directors still block off local streets for high-stakes car chases and international espionage plots. From the brutalist concrete of Torres Blancas to the monumental Plaza de Cibeles, these familiar avenues hold an extensive cinematic history.

A wood-fired socca chickpea pancake from Chez Thérésa or a slow-cooked daube stew perfectly captures the distinct culinary identity of Nice. Navigating the Mediterranean flavors and local traditions of this coastal city goes beyond standard restaurant menus. From grabbing a quick Barbajuan fritter on the street to finding the right relaxed wine bar near Rue Bonaparte, knowing where to eat shapes your entire stay.
