July 2026 brings one of the richest cultural calendars Rome has seen in recent years. On many summer evenings, the open-air Cavea of the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone fills with world-class artists as part of the Roma Summer Fest, while Rock in Roma closes its 16th edition at the Ippodromo delle Capannelle. Free museum Sundays, the largely pedestrianised Via Appia Antica and the Vatican Museums monthly free opening round out the calendar for every kind of visitor.
