Directions from Termini to Santa Maria in Cappella

Santa Maria in Cappella, the neighborhood and the topic of many of my blogs, is located in Travestere. The neighborhood is relatively small and made up of a maze of narrow streets. Many of the buildings are homes, but small shops, Tobacci stores, and markets can be found on almost every street. Restaurants, most of which have outdoor seating, are delicious and reasonably priced. This is a great place to live, but also an enjoyable visit.

From Termini:
- Starting at the Piazza del Cinquecento, outside of the Termini, go SW on Via Cavour
- Continue 5 blocks, Santa Maria Maggiore will be on your left
- Turn right on Via Panisperna and continue until the end
- Veer east until you see Colonna Traiana (Trajan's Column)
- You will approach Piazza Venezia, veer SW around the piazza
- Turn left on Via Teatro Marcello
- Turn right on Via del Foro Piscaro
- Take a quick left on Via de Ottavia
- Cross the Ponte Fabricio, cross over the island, and cross the second half of the river over the Pontve Cestio
- Take an immediate left on Lungotevere Alberteschi
- Turn right on Via Ripense
- Turn left on Via P. Peretti
*Destination: Santa Maria in Cappella
