Where It Is

The Scuderie del Quirinale (the former papal stables, now an exhibition venue) stand on Piazza del Quirinale, atop the Quirinal Hill, facing the presidential palace in Rome's historic center. They sit just steps from the Trevi Fountain and are well connected to the rest of the center and to Termini Station.

On Foot

The most pleasant way to arrive is on foot: from the Trevi Fountain, a short uphill walk brings you to Piazza del Quirinale in just a few minutes. The Scuderie are also close to Via Nazionale, Piazza Barberini, and the Tridente, all within easy walking distance.

By Metro

The nearest metro stop is Barberini (Line A), from which a short uphill walk leads to the square. Repubblica (Line A) and the Termini area are handy too. Line A connects Spagna, San Giovanni, and the Vatican.

By Bus

The area is served by several bus lines that climb toward the Quirinal and Via Nazionale, convenient for skipping the uphill walk from the center.

By Car and with a Private Driver (NCC)

The area is central, inside the ZTL (limited-traffic zone), and has controlled access (because of its proximity to the presidential residence): driving yourself is hardly practical. With a private driver (NCC) the visit is far easier: you're dropped as close to the Scuderie as possible, sparing you the climb, while the driver handles the ZTL and any waiting time, ideal for pairing the exhibition with the Trevi Fountain, the Quirinal Palace, or a smooth transfer.

Suggested Itinerary

The Scuderie del Quirinale pair well with:

  • The Quirinal Palace (same square).
  • The Trevi Fountain, a few minutes downhill.
  • Piazza Barberini and Palazzo Barberini.
