check out the hotels for your ideal location, you get very good value for money from smaller hotels/ bed and breakfast/ guest houses etc. Use the hop on hop off buses, buy tickets to the main tourist attractions in advance, unless you like to wait in line a lot! Vatican is manic, I went in March and it was starting to get busy, I can imagine it would be very hot and uncomfortable in the height of the season.
If you take the time to go through the streets north of the Vatican you can find many small stores where the locals shop. As well as the popular brands and designer labels these streets are full of market stalls with lots of bargains and lovely small deli's and cafes that sell many wonderful local goodies. Great restaurants in this area too, well worth spending a few hours of the day finding a treasure or two.
Get a 48-hour pass on one of the "hop on, hop off" sightseeing bus services. Many of them also offer "skip the line" tickets for certain sights. These tickets are worth every cent. There are tourists waiting in long lines everywhere, which will waste a lot of your time and energy. Rome is an intense tourist destination with much to see. Plan well, do research and be prepared to spend extra on special services. You will need at least 5 days to a week to truly see most of the major landmarks. Just the Vatican Museum offers so much that you could easily spend 3 days inside and still not truly see most of it.
As it's Rome there will always be tourists everywhere but DO NOT go with any tour group guaranteeing to skip lines, the queues are never as bad as they look. We were told a "5 hour queue for Vatican and the Sistine chapel" but if we joined a tour we can go straight in...for a €50 fee. We opted out and queued and were in and out of the Vatican, Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel within 2.5 hours all for a quarter of the price (student and EU citizen discounts). The same goes for the colosseum. Go at your own pace and avoid the scammers. The hotel had basic tourist maps which were perfect and we easily found our way. But we did find there were always less people between 12-1 as they had gone to find food by then.
The Colisseum and the Vatican are probably the main attractions, but there are dozens of monuments, museums, gallaries, fountains and churches that all offer a piece of ancient or modern history. Even the roads and walls and buildings seem to tell a story about one of the most preserved ancient cities in the world.
Money buys comfort buys efficiency buys quality. The Roma & Vatican passes were what made the history come alive as they get you in fast. We walked inside the Colloseum & the Vatican within 10 minutes of arriving!!!!
“This hotel is amazing. Right in the heart of Rome at the piazza Navona. Our room was absolutely amazing with very tall ceilings and original paintings. The room was impeccably clean. The roof top terrace was beautiful and probably one of the nice place in Rome to see the sunset over the Vatican. The breakfast terrace is also very nice and ideal to watch the sun rise over the piazza! The history of the hotel is great and they did a great job of trying to keep as much of it as possible.”
“This is my new favorite hotel in Rome. It is convenient to the Vatican, metro stations and shopping. The room was extremely clean and facilities were modern and staff was kind and helpful. Don't hesitate to book this hotel. It's a five star for a reasonable price.”
“Great holiday in Rome, the hotel is a great location 5min away from the Vatican and you can go by walk to other attractions! The staff was really helpful and breakfast was great. the room was very clean. would definitely visit again!!”
“Flavio and Marinella are wonderful hosts. The apartment is immaculate and decorated beautifully. There is nothing they have forgotten about or left to chance. The apartment is located about a 10 min walk to the Vatican and was very convenient. Both Flavio and Marinella met us when we arrived and made sure we were completely taken care of. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Rome.”
“Charming boutique hotel blocks from the Spanish Steps. Easy walking to the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican and more. Lots of shopping in the area... Prada, Fendi, Tiffany etc but there is so much to do in Rome that we skipped shopping we could easily do at home.”
