Aventino
1.2 miles from downtown
Aventino is known for its medieval churches. The Bocca della Verità (the "mouth of truth") is right at the entrance to Santa Maria in Cosmedin church. The Rose Garden contains 1100 varieties of roses, and nearby you’ll find Circus Maximus, an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium.

Trastevere
0.8 miles from downtown
Trastevere is filled with narrow, winding streets. Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere has plenty of lively pubs, restaurants and clubs.

Places to stay from $25 a night
Navona
0.6 miles from downtown
Piazza Navona is Rome’s most famous square. You’ll find a mixed crowd of locals and tourists, all coming to dine at the lavish cafes and restaurants on the square. Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is Bernini’s sculptural masterpiece in the center, and the Sant’Agnese in Agone church stands to the west.
Places to stay from $20 a night
Spagna
0.7 miles from downtown
Piazza di Spagna is the perfect place to sit and people-watch. Enjoy the liveliness of the "Spanish Steps," or head to Piazza del Popolo square to see Rome’s second-oldest obelisk. Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli in Piazza del Popolo are two Baroque churches worth exploring.
Places to stay from $32 a night
Trevi
0.4 miles from downtown
The Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome. The God Oceanus erupts from the core on a horse-drawn chariot. A 5-minute walk takes you to Quirinal Hill, the tallest of the Seven Hills of Rome. It’s also home to Quirinal Palace, residence of the Italian President.
Places to stay from $27 a night
Repubblica
0.7 miles from downtown
The Fountain of the Naiads in Piazza della Republica is a spectacular sight, day and night. Next door is the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, and the Via Nazionale, one of Rome’s most popular roads crammed with cafes, restaurants and stores, is another huge draw to the area.
Places to stay from $27 a night
Pantheon
0.2 miles from downtown
Opened in 126 AD, the Pantheon is a spectacular building in Piazza della Rotonda. Take some time to admire its incredible light-filled interior, and Bernini’s obelisk Pulcino della Minerva in front of the Gothic Santa Maria Sopra Minerva church. Also visit Hadrian’s Temple with its façade of 11 marble columns (now home to the Roman Stock Exchange).
Places to stay from $32 a night
Ancient history comes alive down every street of Italy's capital. Many of the ruins depict stories of the powerful empire that once spanned three continents, making Rome an open-air museum thanks to iconic monuments like the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. The former gladiator arena is the city's centerpiece, and brings to mind all the brutal games once held on its stage for thousands of roaring spectators. Visit the impressively preserved Pantheon to experience even more of the Eternal City's golden age.
With over 900 churches and many beautiful basilicas among them, Rome is also home to the city-state of the Vatican, the seat of the Catholic Church. St. Peter's Basilica is a tourist hotspot, but treasures like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and countless other masterpieces are held inside the Vatican's great museums.
Like any other Italian city, the local food varies from region to region. In Rome, the trademark dishes are "cacio e pepe"—a deliciously simple pecorino cheese and pepper pasta—and "spaghetti carbonara."
Don't miss other landmarks like the iconic Trevi Fountain, the Borghese Gallery, or Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna. The weather is best between April and June, perfect for a walk or bike ride through Villa Borghese park.

My first visit to Rome was amazing.

My first visit to Rome was amazing. The city is so vibrant with so many historic buildings. I enjoyed my stay at New Morpheus Rooms Bed and Breakfast. The hotel is very close to all the attractions. Gracia to Alessica 🙏😍

I've been to the Eternal City many times and still haven't seen everything. A glorious place to visit. Its very crowded and very noisy - sometimes as it has always been for the past 2000+ years.

Attenzione - beware of pickpockets, especially inside Termini-Metro station! As a Muslim, other than eating at Kebab shops, and going vegetarian (but can eat egg, seafood, not alcohol), it would be great if I could enjoy the local food (pizza, pasta and such) without worrying whether those are prepared correctly. My experience was - those vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes/snacks were served on the same plate!

April 25, 2024
Museums, galleries and historical sites were very interesting. But most sites were much too crowded. Generally we find that the first week or two of April is less crowded in western Europe but this is not the case in Rome. We wonder if part of it is cruise ship crowds being bused in from the coast. Old city centers aren't designed for that amount of people.

Rome is a city that embodies history, culture, and incredible food, making it a must-visit destination for travelers. I recently had the pleasure of exploring the city's iconic landmarks, including the Vatican Basilica and the stunning Vatican Museums. The sheer grandeur of these places is breathtaking, and the art collections are unparalleled. The Colosseum is another highlight—stepping inside feels like a journey back in time to the days of gladiators. Castel Sant'Angelo offers a unique perspective on the city's history and has amazing views from the top. The Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are iconic spots that simply cannot be missed. For a touch of elegance, stroll through Villa Borghese's gardens and visit the art gallery within. Piazza Navona, with its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful fountains, is perfect for people-watching and soaking in the Roman charm. Rome's food scene is a feast for the senses. From delicious pasta and pizza to creamy ice cream and delectable desserts, every meal was a delight. There are countless restaurants serving authentic Italian cuisine, making it easy to find a great meal no matter where you are. I strongly recommend taking a guided tour to get the most out of your visit to the main attractions. It adds a lot of value, providing insights and stories that bring the history to life. Rome has so much to offer, and I'm already planning my next visit!

If you want to visit any tourist attractions, book them before you arrive in Rome. We tried to book things like the Coliseum and the Vatican the night before we wanted to go, and there were no tickets available. The main way we got around the city was by walking...there is definitely lots to do and lots to see. There are a lot of tourists, so it can sometimes take a bit longer to get around. We had a few recommendations for restaurants, which were great, but we also checked restaurants via google maps and the reviews that people had left...there are so many great dining options and you certainly won't go hungry while you're there!
