Campo de' Fiori
One of the mainstays of daily life in Italy is shopping at the market, and the market, for many Romans ,means Campo de’ Fiori. This historic square in the city center hosts one of the largest and most famous outdoor food markets each morning,, offering visitors the perfect opportunity to rub elbows with locals.
The Basics
The name Campo de’ Fiori, or “field of flowers”, harks back to a time when this space was a meadow, but it also hints at its main attraction: the daily open-air market with vendors selling fruit, vegetables, and flowers. The Campo de’ Fiori, open daily from the early-morning hours, also has a lively nightlife, with young locals and visitors filling the square’s many cafés and bars.
Private Rome walking, electric bike, and Segway tours, as well as hop-on-hop-off tours, generally include a stop in Campo de’ Fiori, and often offer skip-the-line access to highlights like the Colosseum, Vatican (and Sistine Chapel), and Trevi Fountain. The square is best seen, however, as part of a food and wine tour that allows you to walk through the market stalls and sample local specialities. Many food tours pair a stop at the Campo de’ Fiori market with a walk through the Trastevere neighborhood and the historic Jewish ghetto.
Things to Know Before You Go
- The square is pedestrian only and crowded with lively vendors hawking their wares, making it an interesting diversion for kids.
- If you’re joining a walking or bike tour of Rome and Campo de’ Fiori, wear comfortable shoes and a hat.
- Campo de’ Fiori is easy to navigate with a wheelchair or stroller, although the thick morning crowds may make the market difficult to navigate.
- In addition to the stands themselves, there are plenty of cafés and gelato shops in or near the square, making the area perfect for a snack.
- Shoppers are discouraged from touching the food; instead, point to your selection and the vendor will bag it for you.
How to Get There
Campo de’ Fiori is located in the historic city center of Rome between Piazza Navona and the Tiber River. To reach the square by public transportation, take one of several buses to the Argentina stop on Largo di Torre Argentina—it’s just a short walk from there.
When to Get There
To get a real feel for Campo de’ Fiori, visit in the early morning, when the market is at its busiest, and then again in the late evening, when the market is closed but the cafés and bars lining the square fill up with revelers.
The City of Markets
Campo de’ Fiori may be the best-known market in Rome, but the city is full of permanent and weekly food markets where you can stock up on seasonal produce and local specialties. The most beloved are Testaccio, which recently relocated from Piazza Testaccio into a modern facility; Piazza San Cosimo, a small market in the lively Trastevere neighborhood; and the Piazza dell’ Unità Market in the upscale Prati quarter.

Campo Pequeno reopened as a multi-event venue in 2006, and in addition to a retractable roof, the renovations included adding a shopping mall, cinema and restaurants beneath the stadium. The building also houses a small museum dedicated to the sport of bullfighting in Portugal and the history of the Camp Pequeno Bullring.
From Easter to mid-July, the 9,000-spectator stadium still hosts bullfights, though unlike in Spain, the bulls are not killed during the fight. Throughout the remainder of the year, the venue is used for live music events, shows and the occasional circus.

Cameron Highlands
Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands, a hill station approximately the size of Singapore, is one of the country’s largest resort areas and a popular escape from the heat and humidity of Kuala Lumpur.

Cambridge Theatre
Opened in 1930, the Cambridge Theatre is one of the younger theaters in London’s West End. Standing on a narrow corner and made of steel and concrete, it provides an early example of a London theater adopting the modern, expressionist style that was popular in Germany in the 1920s. Inside, however, theater-goers will see bronze friezes depicting nude figures in a variety of poses, marble columns and concealed lighting. Red décor replaced the original gold and silver color scheme in the 1950s, while chandeliers and candelabras were added then as well.
The theater seats more than 1200 on three levels and has hosted both plays and musicals over the years, though it functions best as a musical venue due to its size. Matilda the Musical has been playing since 2011.
Practical Info
Theater tickets can be purchased online or at the box office. To reach the theater by the Tube, take the Piccadilly Line to Covent Garden or Leicester Square or the Northern Line to Leicester Square. Bus numbers 14, 19, 24, 38 and 176 also run near the theater.

Canterbury Cathedral
Discover a national symbol and gain insight into England’s history at the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Canterbury Cathedral. Dating back to 597, the site has held religious significance for centuries, drawing pilgrims to the location of Thomas Becket’s murder and visitors interested in its medieval towers, chapels, and stained-glass windows.
The Basics
The cathedral’s distance from London makes it a prime stop on a tour of the South. Combine your visit with stops at other landmarks, such as Leeds Castle and Dover Cliffs, for a full day’s break from the capital, or take advantage of multi-attraction tours that allow you to explore London and beyond at your own pace. Opt for a guided cathedral tour for intimate insight, or be immersed as you explore the historic grounds independently.

On-site parking is available only via prior arrangement, but the city offers plenty of affordable alternatives, including a park-and-ride service. Many tours from London include round-trip transportation.
When to Get There
Canterbury Cathedral is a sight to behold at any time of year, though December’s carol services certainly add to the magic. Spring and summer bring extended daylight hours and an ideal climate for outdoor exploring. If you’re curious about worship as well as sightseeing, entry to the cathedral is free during service times, making Sunday a popular day to visit.
The Significance of Canterbury Cathedral
As the home of the Church of England, Canterbury Cathedral holds a special relationship with English history and culture. The Kingdom of Kent was the first to convert to Christianity under Rome, and Archbishop Thomas Becket’s murder in 1170 solidified the building’s religious and political importance. The cathedral has links to William the Conqueror and the Magna Carta, and was immortalized by the father of English literature, Geoffrey Chaucer, in his famous Canterbury Tales.

Camp Bonifas
Camp Bonifas is a Republic of Korea Army base located approximately 400 meters from the southern boundary of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating North Korea and South Korea. Although security is tight, and certain clearances and rules need to be strictly adhered to, it is possible to explore the military camp as part of an organized tour.
Camp Bonifas is home to the United Nations Command Security Battalion for the Joint Security Area (JSA), who are responsible for enforcing the 1953 armistice agreement between the two countries. Previously known as Camp Kitty Hawk, the base was renamed Camp Bonifas in 1986, 10 years after JSA officer Captain Arthur G. Bonifas was murdered by North Korean guards in an event known as the ‘Axe Murder Incident.’ 1st Lt. Mark T. Barrett (posthumously promoted to Captain) was also killed in the attack.
While touring the site, visitors will notice that Camp Bonifas is home to a one-hole golf course. Being surrounded on three sides by unexploded minefields, this is quite rightly referred to as the most dangerous golf course in the world.

Practical Info
Caneel Bay is in western St. John, a few minutes’ drive from the port of Cruz Bay. Nearby Honeymoon Bay can only be reached via a (short) forest trail, so it’s even more secluded, though largely without facilities.
