The Eternal City: 35 Local Secrets to Unlock the Magic of Rome
33. The Protestant Cemetery Café: Quiet with a View
Tucked near the Cimitero Acattolico, this unassuming café offers strong coffee and a panoramic view of the Pyramid of Cestius. Unlike Rome’s more crowded spots, it’s low-key, literary, and deeply local. Writers, academics, and dreamers often linger here with a notebook or book in hand. It’s ideal for a reflective afternoon with no itinerary—just history, caffeine, and a slow, golden Roman sun.
