What to do in Rome in June 2025

Are you undecided about what to do in Rome in June 2025?

June is one of the most fascinating months to visit Rome: the days are getting longer, the sun lights up the colors of the city, and the energy of summer can be felt everywhere.

The capital comes alive with a rich calendar of cultural events, internationally renowned art exhibitions and unmissable appointments that celebrate Rome's history, creativity and vitality.

Among the most interesting initiatives this month are a number of major exhibitions that embellish the capital's cultural calendar: from "Caravaggio 2025" at Palazzo Barberini, with an extraordinary collection of works by the master of light and shadow, to "Picasso lo straniero" at Palazzo Cipolla, which explores the theme of identity in the art of the Spanish genius.

For photography enthusiasts, also not to be missed is the World Press Photo Exhibition 2025 at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, featuring the most powerful images of global photojournalism.

And let's not forget a special occasion: on the first Sunday of the month, June 1, Rome's state museums have free admission. A perfect opportunity to visit iconic sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Baths of Caracalla or the Borghese Gallery without a ticket.

June is also the month of the Giro d'Italia stage, this year exceptionally dedicated to Pope Francis, with departure from the Vatican Gardens and arrival at the Circus Maximus, on a day that promises to be memorable.

Rome, in the heart of the beginning summer, offers its best: an open invitation to live it intensely, day after day.
