Mid-May weekend, uncertain weather, a spring that is making itself desired but that does not demoralize Rome. The Capital, in fact, has many appointments scheduled for the weekend, dedicated to culture, entertainment and shopping. Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 May – which by the way is also Mother’s Day – Rome offers a schedule full of events that involve everyone.
The protagonist initiative of the weekend is the Night of the Museums 2023, the extraordinary opening of cultural places in the capital, from 8pm to 2am, at the symbolic cost of 1 euro. Space also for the typical dishes of Roman cuisine that become the protagonists of entire festivals and, again, vintage and hippie markets, concerts, street food, comics and much more.
If you still don’t know what to do this weekend, here are 11 events not to be missed in Rome on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 May:
The Night of the Museums
The Night of the Museums is an event that has taken place simultaneously throughout Europe since 2005. With a symbolic ticket of 1 euro (unless otherwise indicated) it is possible to visit, at unusual times, the most beautiful cultural centers of the city. The capital is therefore preparing to welcome the new edition of the Night of Museums 2023 which will see the opening of 80 spaces with 60 exhibitions and a calendar of around 130 shows, as well as guided tours and educational activities for all ages.
