Rome, Italy
Rome travel and neighborhood guide
Rome is best experienced on foot, but its cobbled center can make even short distances feel longer with luggage. A base near the sights suits short visits; a well-connected residential area may offer more space and quieter evenings.
Where to stay
Centro Storico
Maximum walkability to major squares and monuments, usually at a premium.
Monti
Central village atmosphere near the Colosseum with restaurants and small shops.
Prati
Orderly streets near the Vatican with Metro access and a more residential evening feel.
Before you book
