Emily in Paris Season 5 was filmed across Rome and several easy day-trip destinations in the Lazio region. The most recognizable locations include Piazza Costaguti, where Emily's new Rome apartment is set; the Coppedè district around Via Dora and Piazza Mincio, used for Agence Grateau Rome; Palazzo Fendi and Zuma Rome; the Fendi headquarters at Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana; Mercati di Traiano; the Aventine Keyhole; Hotel de Russie; Orient Express La Minerva; Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese; and Ostia Antica, which stands in for the fictional town of Solitano.

The production also went outside central Rome to San Polo dei Cavalieri, Tivoli, Villa Parisi in the Castelli Romani area, and the seaside La Posta Vecchia hotel. Most of these places can be visited in real life, although hotels and restaurants may require a reservation and some private buildings are best seen from the outside.

Season 5 makes Rome much more than a quick backdrop. Emily is living and working in the city, so the show moves between glamorous rooftops, quiet historic squares, ancient ruins, fashion landmarks, and countryside escapes. If you want to build an Emily in Paris-inspired Rome trip, these are the Season 5 filming locations worth putting on your map:

1. Piazza Costaguti: Emily's Rome apartment

A baroque church dome and bell-stage rising above warm ochre and travertine palazzo facades that flank a narrow lane in Rome's historic centre

Emily starts Season 5 in a new Roman apartment at Piazza Costaguti, a small square in Rome's historic Jewish Ghetto. Netflix identifies the square as Emily's new home base, making it one of the easiest Season 5 locations to recognize and visit.

The area is a great place to start a self-guided Emily in Paris walk because it feels unmistakably Roman without being a huge monument. You are surrounded by narrow streets, ochre buildings, old stone, small restaurants, and some of the most atmospheric corners of the historic center.

Do not expect the apartment itself to be a visitor attraction. The building is private, so the point is to see the square and the streets around it rather than trying to enter the property.

Best for: starting your Emily in Paris route and exploring Rome's Jewish Ghetto.

2. Via Dora and Piazza Mincio: Agence Grateau Rome

An ornate stone niche fountain with a robed statue set into a burnt-orange palazzo wall, seen through a dark archway across a cobbled courtyard

Agence Grateau gets a proper Rome base in Season 5. Netflix places its Roman office around Via Dora and Piazza Mincio, in the wonderfully strange and beautiful Quartiere Coppedè.

Coppedè looks like somebody mixed Art Nouveau, Baroque, medieval fantasy, and Roman architecture into one neighborhood. The area is small, so it is easy to explore on foot. Look for Piazza Mincio, the Fountain of the Frogs, the ornate archways, decorative balconies, and the details on the surrounding palazzi.

The office is not a real marketing agency you can walk into, and interior scenes may not match the exterior location exactly. Come for the architecture and the atmosphere.

Best for: architecture, photography, and one of the most distinctive neighborhoods shown in Season 5.

3. Zuma Rome at Palazzo Fendi

A Roman roof terrace lined with terracotta pots and cacti in late-afternoon light, with a baroque dome and bell tower rising behind the tiled roofs

One of the most polished Season 5 locations is Zuma Rome, set on the rooftop of Palazzo Fendi. In the series, Sylvie has breakfast here with Giancarlo while discussing the future of Agence Grateau in Rome.

The real restaurant is in central Rome near the Spanish Steps and offers the kind of rooftop setting that fits the show perfectly: fashion, skyline views, cocktails, and a very glossy Roman atmosphere.

You can visit without staying at a hotel, but this is one location where booking ahead is smart, especially if you want a table with a view. It is also easy to combine with the Spanish Steps, Via Condotti, and the Fendi boutique nearby.

Best for: rooftop drinks, a stylish lunch, or a full Emily-style evening.

4. Fendi Roma Palazzo Boutique at Largo Goldoni

A sunlit central Rome street lined with tall ochre and cream palazzi, their shuttered windows fronted by rows of small wrought-iron balconies, with a church dome behind and big white clouds overhead

Fashion is basically another character in Emily in Paris, so it makes sense that Fendi plays a major role in the Rome storyline. In Season 5, Marcello takes Emily to the Fendi Roma Palazzo boutique at Largo Goldoni to replace her fake Fendi with the real thing.

The boutique is in one of Rome's main luxury shopping areas, close to Via Condotti and the Spanish Steps. You do not need to buy a Baguette bag to visit. Even walking past the storefront gives you an easy filming-location stop while exploring central Rome.

Pair this with Zuma Rome because both locations are connected to Palazzo Fendi and are close enough to fit naturally into the same part of your day.

Best for: fashion fans and anyone recreating Emily's luxury Rome itinerary.

5. Hotel de Russie and its secret garden

A sheltered Mediterranean hotel garden courtyard: an old olive tree in a stone bed, apricot walls hung with ivy and bougainvillea, carved stone urns of flowers on the steps and a laid table by the arched glass doors

Hotel de Russie appears in Season 5 when Emily and Sylvie meet Marcello, his mother, and Antoine to discuss the Muratori perfume collaboration. The meeting takes place in the hotel's famous garden setting.

The hotel sits near Piazza del Popolo, making it a very easy stop on a central Rome itinerary. You do not have to stay overnight to get a taste of the location. Depending on availability and hotel policies, you can book a meal or drinks and spend time in the garden.

This is one of the better choices if you want a filming location that also works as a real travel experience rather than a quick photo stop.

Best for: drinks, a special lunch, or a romantic break between sightseeing stops.

6. Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana: Fendi headquarters

The white travertine arcaded cube of the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana in Rome's EUR district, its rows of identical arches lit by low sun against a deep blue sky, with a marble equestrian statue at its base

The Fendi headquarters shown in Season 5 are inside the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome's EUR district. The building is often nicknamed the Square Colosseum because of its repeated arches and monumental, symmetrical design.

This part of Rome feels completely different from the historic center. Instead of tiny lanes and Renaissance facades, EUR gives you broad avenues, rationalist architecture, and a more modern side of the city.

You can easily admire and photograph the building from outside. The headquarters is a working corporate space, so do not plan on wandering through the offices unless a public exhibition or special event is specifically open.

Best for: fashion, modern architecture, and seeing a side of Rome most first-time visitors miss.

7. Mercati di Traiano: Emily and Marcello's ancient Rome walk

The tiered red-brick hemicycle of Trajan's Markets in Rome with its arched shopfronts and the medieval Torre delle Milizie above, under a blue sky with soft cloud

Emily and Marcello walk through Mercati di Traiano, or Trajan's Markets, in one of Season 5's most obviously Roman scenes. The ancient complex sits beside the Imperial Forums and is often described as an early version of a shopping and administrative center.

Unlike many filming locations that you simply look at from the street, this one is a proper archaeological attraction. You can buy a ticket, walk through the ruins, and get elevated views across the surrounding ancient city.

It is an easy addition to a day that also includes the Roman Forum, Piazza Venezia, and the Colosseum area.

Best for: history lovers and travelers who want a filming location that is genuinely worth visiting even without the show.

8. Orient Express La Minerva Hotel

The Pantheon's columned portico and coffered dome glimpsed at the end of a narrow Roman alley at dusk, framed between warm ochre house walls

Mindy stays at Orient Express La Minerva in Season 5, and the hotel also becomes part of the storyline around Alfie. It is right in Rome's historic center, close to the Pantheon and Piazza della Minerva.

The location is ideal if you are already doing a classic Rome sightseeing day. You can pass by the hotel between the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the Jewish Ghetto, or make a reservation for a more complete experience.

The property is also home to another Season 5 location: Gigi Rigolatto Roma, the rooftop restaurant where Sylvie gathers the team before closing the Rome office.

Best for: a central luxury stop that is easy to combine with several major sights.

9. Gigi Rigolatto Roma

Rome's skyline at dusk under a pink and apricot sky: the domes of Sant'Andrea della Valle and Sant'Agnese, the white marble of the Vittoriano and the Alban hills layered behind the rooftops

Gigi Rigolatto Roma deserves its own mention because it is one of the season's big rooftop settings. The restaurant sits on top of Orient Express La Minerva and gives you the kind of skyline view that makes every dinner feel like a TV scene.

In Season 5, Sylvie brings the team together here for an important conversation about the Rome office. In real life, this is a place to book rather than simply walk through.

If you only have time for one high-end Emily in Paris meal in Rome, choose between Gigi Rigolatto, Zuma, Hotel de Russie, or Settimo based on the neighborhood that fits your itinerary best. There is no reason to cross the whole city just to collect every rooftop.

Best for: dinner with a view and a very Season 5 atmosphere.

10. Aventine Keyhole

The dome of St Peter's Basilica rising pale above dark umbrella pines, cypresses and clipped hedges of a formal Roman garden under a clear winter-blue sky

Marcello takes Emily to the Aventine Keyhole, one of Rome's most famous small surprises. The keyhole is on the door of the Priory of the Knights of Malta on the Aventine Hill. Look through it and you get a perfectly framed view of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.

The scene works because the location is romantic without being an obvious blockbuster monument. It feels more like something a local might take you to after dinner.

The keyhole is free to see from the street, although you may find a queue. While you are on the Aventine, also walk to the Orange Garden for one of the best free views over Rome.

Best for: couples, sunset walks, and a simple stop that feels more special than it costs.

11. Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese and Settimo

A wide gravel avenue lined with tall umbrella pines in the gardens of Villa Borghese, Rome

Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese appears in Season 5 through Settimo, its rooftop restaurant. This is where Luc's complicated romantic situation catches up with him.

The hotel is on Via Lombardia, close to Villa Borghese and the upper end of Via Veneto. That makes it easy to combine with a park walk, the Spanish Steps, or the wider Via Veneto area.

Settimo is another location where a reservation makes more sense than arriving only for a photo. If you like the show's rooftop Rome aesthetic, this is one of the easiest places to turn a filming-location visit into a proper lunch or dinner.

Best for: rooftop dining and pairing an Emily stop with Villa Borghese.

12. Ostia Antica: the real location behind Solitano

Rows of brick arches and roofless rooms in the Roman ruins of Ostia Antica, with umbrella pines and cypresses along the horizon under a deep blue sky and white cumulus

Solitano, Marcello's idyllic hometown and the home of the Muratori fashion business, is fictional. Season 5 uses Ostia Antica for the Solitano storyline.

That is good news for travelers because Ostia Antica is one of the best day trips from Rome. The ancient port city has Roman streets, apartments, baths, mosaics, temples, shops, and a theater, but it is usually much easier to fit into a Rome itinerary than traveling all the way to Pompeii.

The production uses the historic atmosphere to create a place that feels removed from modern Rome. In real life, you can explore the archaeological park and the surrounding borgo.

Give it at least half a day rather than squeezing it between city-center stops.

Best for: the most substantial Emily in Paris day trip and anyone curious about the real-life Solitano.

13. San Polo dei Cavalieri

A stone hilltop village on a sheer tufa outcrop in the Lazio countryside, reached by a long footbridge, with eroded ravines and blue hills behind under a big cloudy sky

Season 5 takes Emily beyond the city when Marcello brings her into the countryside around San Polo dei Cavalieri for a truffle hunt with his family.

This is not the kind of location most visitors will casually reach between the Pantheon and dinner. It is a small Lazio town in the hills near Tivoli, and it works best if you are planning a car-based day trip or a broader countryside itinerary.

The appeal is less about finding one exact doorway and more about seeing the greener, quieter landscape that the show uses to contrast with Emily's fast-paced city life.

Best for: repeat visitors to Rome, road trips, and travelers who want countryside rather than another famous monument.

14. Piazza Campitelli in Tivoli

The Neptune Fountain at Villa d'Este in Tivoli throwing tall jets of water below the villa, framed by cypresses and cedars, with the still reflecting pool and rows of potted plants in the foreground

The Muratori Paradiso fragrance commercial is filmed on the steps of Piazza Campitelli in Tivoli, around 30 kilometers east of Rome.

Tivoli is already one of the capital's best-known day-trip destinations because of Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa. That makes this filming location easy to justify even if you are only a casual fan of the show.

Visit the square as part of a wider Tivoli day instead of traveling out solely for the steps. The combination of villas, gardens, old streets, and the Season 5 connection gives you much more to do.

Best for: a full day trip that mixes Emily in Paris with classic Lazio sightseeing.

15. Villa Parisi and La Posta Vecchia: two glamorous escapes outside Rome

The walled garden of an Italian country villa: a wrought-iron pergola smothered in pale pink climbing roses over clipped box parterres, dry-stone walls and tall cypresses, under a blue sky with white cloud

Two of the season's most luxurious locations sit outside central Rome.

Villa Parisi hosts Princess Jane's welcome party for Sylvie and Agence Grateau Rome. Netflix identifies the villa at Via Mondragone 2 in the Castelli Romani area. It is not a standard walk-in museum, so access can depend on events or private bookings. If you are in the area, combine it with Frascati or another Castelli Romani town rather than treating it as a guaranteed interior visit.

La Posta Vecchia, on the coast north of Rome, hosts the fictional Bavazzatini launch where Mindy performs. The real property is a historic seaside hotel, so the most realistic way to experience it is to stay, dine, or book an available service rather than simply arriving to look around.

These are best for travelers who want to extend the theme beyond a city-center walking tour.

Best for: a special occasion, a countryside or coastal escape, and the most glamorous version of an Emily-inspired trip.

What about the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, and Piazza Mattei?

The Trevi Fountain early in the morning with nobody in front of it: Oceanus and the sea-horses on their travertine reef, water spilling into a still turquoise basin, warm sun catching the buildings on the right

If you remember Emily riding through Rome by Vespa, tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain, or watching Mindy perform in Piazza Mattei, you are remembering the Rome section of Season 4.

Netflix's official Season 4 location guide confirms the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Hotel Eden, and Piazza Mattei among the earlier Roman filming locations. They are absolutely worth visiting, but they are not the main new Rome locations introduced for Season 5.

This distinction matters because many online lists mix the two seasons together. If you want a complete Emily in Paris Rome trip, combine the Season 5 locations in this guide with the Season 4 classics.

How to plan an Emily in Paris filming-locations day in Rome

You do not need to visit all 15 places in one day. In fact, trying to do that would make the trip feel very un-Emily: too much rushing, not enough aperitivo.

For an easy central route, start at Piazza Costaguti in the morning and walk through the Jewish Ghetto. Continue toward the Pantheon and Orient Express La Minerva. From there, head toward the Fendi area and Spanish Steps, then choose Hotel de Russie, Zuma, or Settimo for a long lunch or drinks.

On another day, visit Mercati di Traiano and the ancient center, then continue to the Aventine Keyhole around sunset. Save Quartiere Coppedè and the Fendi headquarters in EUR for separate stops because they sit away from the most compact historic-center route.

Ostia Antica, Tivoli, San Polo dei Cavalieri, Villa Parisi, and La Posta Vecchia should be treated as day trips or half-day excursions, not quick pins to collect between city sights.

FAQ: Emily in Paris Season 5 filming locations in Rome

Was Emily in Paris Season 5 actually filmed in Rome?

Yes. Season 5 filmed extensively in Rome and the surrounding Lazio region, with real locations including Piazza Costaguti, Palazzo Fendi, Mercati di Traiano, Hotel de Russie, the Aventine Keyhole, Ostia Antica, Tivoli, and several luxury hotels and restaurants. The season also filmed in Paris and Venice.

Where is Emily's apartment in Rome?

Emily's Season 5 Rome apartment is set at Piazza Costaguti in Rome's historic Jewish Ghetto. The square is public, but the residential building itself is private.

Where is Agence Grateau in Rome?

The Season 5 Rome office is associated with Via Dora and Piazza Mincio in Quartiere Coppedè. You can visit the neighborhood and see the exterior architecture, but there is no real Agence Grateau office to enter.

Is Solitano a real town in Italy?

No. Solitano is fictional. For Season 5, the show uses Ostia Antica and its historic setting to represent Marcello's hometown and the world of the Muratori family.

Can you visit the Emily in Paris restaurants in Rome?

Yes, several restaurants and hotel venues shown in Season 5 are real and bookable, including Zuma Rome, Hotel de Russie's dining spaces, Gigi Rigolatto Roma at Orient Express La Minerva, and Settimo at Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese. Reservations are a good idea, and opening hours or access policies can change.

How many days do you need for an Emily in Paris Rome trip?

Two to three days is enough for the central Rome locations at a comfortable pace. Add another day if you want Ostia Antica or Tivoli, and more time if you want countryside locations such as San Polo dei Cavalieri or a stay at La Posta Vecchia.

Plan your Emily in Paris Rome trip with EasyMiles

Following filming locations is fun, but a good Rome trip still needs to work as a real trip. You do not want to spend the whole day crossing the city for one doorway, arrive at a rooftop before it opens, or miss a brilliant restaurant because every reservation is gone.

EasyMiles builds your itinerary around your dates, interests, food preferences, and preferred pace. If Emily in Paris is the theme, you can mix filming locations with the Rome you actually want to experience: ancient sites, hidden streets, local restaurants, shopping, rooftop drinks, and the right amount of time for an aperitivo.

Instead of giving you one generic list of attractions, EasyMiles combines places into realistic days based on where they are, when they are open, and what makes sense together. It can help you decide which Emily in Paris locations are worth prioritizing, where to eat nearby, what to do between them, and how to add a day trip to Ostia Antica or Tivoli without turning your holiday into a logistics project.

That way, you get the fun of stepping into Emily's Rome without spending the whole trip staring at a map.
