San Giovanni area is also bordered by a long stretch of the Aurelian Walls, where several doors of important historical and artistic interest are concentrated, including Porta San Giovanni, Porta Asinaria and others. Although it is not crowded with tourists, the neighborhood is very close to the center of Rome and is an ideal place for relaxing thanks to many small cafes. The old markets, like the very famous one on Via Sannio, still prevail over shopping centers. Big shopping takes place especially during a profitable walk on the central Via Appia: frequented by clothing lovers, albeit at affordable costs. From here we reach Via Appia Antica, which was considered by the Romans the “queen of the streets”: one of the greatest works of engineering in the ancient world for the enormous economic, military and cultural impact it had on Roman society. Here, there is the Appia Antica Regional Park: an area protected by the strong archaeological presence. Surely, it is a well-connected area where you will not get bored: the metro has a stop called San Giovanni and there are many tram lines that pass through the neighborhood. Furthermore, there is the Roma Tuscolana Railway Station that represents a perfect crossroads for all of Italy.
