Rome

Despite its location right in front of the Spanish Steps, Rome's icon and a paramount international attraction, Via delle Carrozze passes unnoticed to tourist crowds. The street is nested in fact between mannerly palazzi, where motor circulation is not allowed (the pedestrian sidewalks close it on both ends), and the characteristic Roman carriages ("carrozze") frequently park at its beginning, nearly hiding it. Quiet and sophisticated, the street introduces you into a peculiar dimension, as if it were separate from all the other surrounding streets.
