The Emily in (Paris) Rome Map: 7 Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit

Emily Cooper is officially trading the Seine for the Tiber! Emily in Paris Season 5 has made its highly anticipated global debut today, December 18, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. In this bold new chapter, Emily (played by the radiant Lily Collins) steps into a leadership role as she heads the new Italian branch of Agence Grateau. Whether you are tuning in from the US at 12:00 AM PT or starting your binge-watch in India at 1:30 PM IST, the “Italian Holiday” is finally here. Season 5 features 10 episodes packed with Roman romance, high-stakes marketing, and the ultimate “will-they-won’t-they” drama. But as fans dive into Emily’s new life with the charming Marcello, the biggest question remains: Is this the end?

Planning your own Emily-inspired trip to Rome? You don’t need a Vespa (though it would be cool), but you definitely need this guide. Here are the 7 must-visit filming locations from Season 5 that you can actually see in real life.

1. Emily’s New Office: Palazzo Senza Nome

In Paris, Emily worked in the stylish Place de Valois. In Rome, her office got a major upgrade. The outside of the new Agence Grateau office is actually the Palazzo Senza Nome (which means “Palace Without a Name”), located in the quirky Quartiere Coppedè neighborhood.

What It’s Like: This hidden spot is an architectural treasure filled with Art Nouveau, Baroque, and even Medieval styles all mixed together.

Insider Tip: Check out the Fontana delle Rane (Fountain of the Frogs) in the middle of the square. Fun fact: The Beatles jumped into this fountain fully clothed after a concert in 1965!

2. Marcello’s Village “Solitano”: Actually Ostia Antica

The most searched location from Season 5 is Solitano, Marcello’s dreamy hilltop village where his family runs their cashmere business. Here’s the twist—it’s not actually a remote Tuscan town. The scenes were filmed in Ostia Antica, which is only 30 minutes from Rome.

What It’s Like: The show used Piazza della Rocca and the medieval Castle of Julius II for these scenes.

Insider Tip: Unlike the busy cashmere village in the show, the real Ostia Antica is one of the world’s best-preserved ancient Roman ruins. Think Pompeii, but less crowded.

3. Mindy’s Performance Spot: Piazza Mattei

One of the season’s most romantic moments happens when Mindy Chen performs her new song “Beautiful Ruins.” This scene was filmed in Piazza Mattei, tucked away in Rome’s historic Jewish Ghetto.

What It’s Like: The star of this square is the Fontana delle Tartarughe (Turtle Fountain). It’s one of Rome’s quietest and most charming spots.

Insider Tip: Grab some gelato from a nearby shop and sit by the fountain. You can recreate the scene—just maybe skip the professional singing unless you’re really confident.

4. Emily’s Hotel: Hotel Eden

While Emily lived in a tiny maid’s room in Paris, her Roman stay is pure luxury. She’s staying at Hotel Eden, a famous hotel that’s been around since 1889.

What It’s Like: Located near the Spanish Steps, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, La Terrazza, is where Emily and Sylvie have power breakfasts with incredible views of the entire city.

Insider Tip: You don’t have to book a room to enjoy it. Reserve a table for sunset drinks and catch the same “golden hour” lighting featured in the show.

5. The “No Phone” Moment: Acqua Paola Fountain

In one of the season’s sweetest scenes, Marcello takes Emily on a Vespa ride to a massive fountain and tells her to put her phone away and just look. This spot is Il Fontanone (which just means “The Big Fountain”), officially called the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola.

What It’s Like: Sitting on Janiculum Hill, it offers what many consider the best free view of Rome’s skyline.

Insider Tip: Walk a bit further to Piazza Garibaldi around noon to see the daily firing of the Janiculum cannon—a tradition that’s been going on since 1847.

6. The Group Lunch: Da Giggetto

Emily, Marcello, and his childhood friends share a meal at a restaurant overlooking ancient ruins. This is a real Roman favorite: Da Giggetto al Portico d’Ottavia.

What It’s Like: The restaurant sits right next to the Portico of Octavia, ancient ruins from 27 BC.

Insider Tip: Order the Carciofi alla Giudia (Jewish-style fried artichokes). It’s the restaurant’s signature dish and a must-try when you’re in Rome.

7. The Classic Coin Toss: Trevi Fountain

No trip to Rome is complete without the Trevi Fountain, and Emily’s Roman adventure is no different. Marcello shows Emily the “right” way to toss a coin: right hand over your left shoulder.

What It’s Like: Pure tourist magic. As the show explains, tossing one coin means you’ll return to Rome someday.

Insider Tip: In the show, the fountain looks empty. In real life? It’s absolutely packed with people. If you want that perfect Emily-style photo, show up at 6:00 AM—it’s the only time you’ll have the fountain almost to yourself.

Emily’s Story Continues

As you plan your Roman adventure following Emily’s footsteps, remember that her journey is far from over. During Netflix’s Q3 Earnings Call, VP Spencer Wang officially confirmed that Emily in Paris is coming back for Season 6 in 2026.

Whether Emily stays in Rome or heads back to Paris, one thing’s for sure—the “Emily Effect” on travel and tourism is just getting started. So pack your bags, grab your camera, and get ready to live out your own Emily in Rome fantasy!
