When I arrived to Rome, I already knew that it’s not just about sightseeing, but it’s a living, breathing canvas waiting for you to dive in. Whether you're traveling solo or with friends, there are countless ways to get creative, meet amazing people, and take home unforgettable memories. Here are three artsy social activities I personally loved (and highly recommend!).
"Trastevere: Biscotti, Supplì e Street Art" with Angela
Angela’s Trastevere Tour is more than a simple walk—it’s a journey into the stories and secret corners of one of Rome’s most charming neighborhoods. Guided by a passionate local explorer, you’ll admire street art, hidden courtyards, local food, and more.
Perfect For: Perfect for street art lovers, photographers, creatives, foodies, and anyone who loves to wander off the beaten path.
What I Loved Personally: I loved how relaxed and spontaneous it felt. It was like being shown around by a friend who is informative and in tune with the city.
Costs: € 21 per person.

"Sketch the Wonders of Villa Borghese" with Krystan
Imagine standing in the gardens of Villa Borghese, Rome’s “green heart,” with a mini sketchbook, high-quality pencils, and all the inspiration around you. Krystan's sketching experience offers a laid-back, guided, and creativity-fueled outdoor drawing session to savour the meditative state of drawing.
Perfect For: Ideal for absolute beginners, hobby artists, or anyone who just wants a creative, relaxed morning in a beautiful park.
What I Loved Personally: The setting was magical, and Krystan was so supportive and fun! It didn’t matter if you were a professional or had never held a pencil before... You just felt free to connect with the surroundings and create.
Costs: 26£ per person, including all art materials.

"Ceramic Workshop with Kolpos Studio" with Amanda
Step into a cozy Roman workshop where sisters Amanda and Demetra (founders of Kolpos Studio) invite you to explore ceramics as both self-expression, poetry, and art. In this intimate experience, you’ll shape clay into one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the feminine body, embracing each curve and imperfection as a mark of their unique beauty.
Perfect For: Anyone seeking a mindful, hands-on creative experience. Ideal for beginners, art lovers, or those wanting a soulful escape from the fast pace of the city.
What I Loved Personally: Joined on the 8th of March with my friend group, I loved how Amanda created such a welcoming and chill vibe. Working with clay was grounding, and it felt amazing to create something that stays with you after the workshop.
Costs: Depending on the type of workshop.
