Campo de' Fiori at a glance
Campo de' Fiori is a square in the Centro Storico, a short walk from Piazza Navona. By day it is a market with flowers and food. After the stalls close, the bars and restaurants around the edge take over, and the square has a different character. In the middle stands a monument to Giordano Bruno, which gives the square its most serious chapter of history.
A simple plan is to see the fountains on Piazza Navona first, then walk to Campo de' Fiori while the stalls are still open, and stay on for a drink or a meal in the evening. If you only have one morning, go to the market before midday and keep the evening for the square.
This is an independent guide. It is not run by the city, the market traders or any venue. The square is a public space, so you can walk in at no cost. What you buy at a stall or a table is up to you.
The market by day
What to expect, and when.
Days and hours
The market takes place Monday to Saturday in the morning. Stalls do not all open and close at the same minute, and holiday exceptions are possible, so go in the morning rather than at midday if you want the full range.
What is on sale
The stalls sell flowers and food, among other things. Not every stall offers the same goods every day, so look around before you buy.
A long tradition
The market has been held on this square since 1869. The square name, which means field of flowers, fits the flower stalls that you still see today.
Drinking water
Rome's public drinking fountains, the nasoni, supply the same water as the households in the city. They are handy for a refill while you walk between the stalls.

The Giordano Bruno monument
A statue with a serious history.
Who he was
Giordano Bruno was a philosopher who was burned on this square in 1600 on a charge of heresy. The place of the execution is the reason the square has a memorial at its centre.
The monument
The sculptor Ettore Ferrari made the monument. It was unveiled on 9 June 1889. The statue stands in the middle of the square, among the stalls.
The date of the execution
The execution is dated 17 February 1600, in some accounts 16 February. If you want one date for a note, say 1600.
Campo de' Fiori in the evening
After the market closes.
Bars and restaurants
Once the market is packed up, bars and restaurants shape how people use the square. That makes it a lively place in the evening, not a quiet one. If you are choosing a room nearby, expect noise on some nights, and ask the host about it.
Where to stay →Eating on the square
Restaurants must display their prices outside, apart from the wine list, and in Lazio an extra coperto charge is not allowed. A service share must be shown on the price list before you order, and a fixed-price menu cannot carry an extra service charge. Read the board before you sit down.
Our eating guide →Evening tours
Some walking tours include Campo de' Fiori as a stop for tastings. Check what each tour includes, such as the number of tastings and drinks, before you book.
Getting there from Piazza Navona
A short walk through the lanes.
On foot
The two squares are about 5 minutes apart on foot, a rough estimate that depends on your pace and the crowds. Do not rely on it as a step-free route, and allow more time if you use a wheelchair or a pushchair.
By bus
Lines 30, 70, 81, 87, 492 and 628 serve the Corso Rinascimento by Piazza Navona. Check the direction and current departures before you ride. A single BIT ticket costs €1.50 and lasts 100 minutes (2026).
Getting there →Combine it with other stops
The Via dei Coronari, with its antique shops, is also near the square, and the Piazza Navona has the fountains and the church. Trastevere lies across the Tiber, and our sister guide to Trastevere covers it.
