Where to stay in Rome

For easy foot access to most of the city's main historical sites, consider staying in Rome's old town center. The area is conveniently placed for public transport, only a walk away from the city's main railway station. Accommodations here span all hotels sectors, from cheap hostels to luxury brand names. To avoid the steep prices and overcrowding of the town center, explore the hotels in the inner suburbs of Rome. They offer comfortable rooms and excellent food at a fraction of the price charged by the centrally located hotel chains. Another affordable option is the area around Vatican, which boasts a good selection of family-owned B&Bs.

Rome

4.7

Ruins · Fountains · Nightlife

From ancient ruins and early Christian catacombs, to Renaissance churches and Baroque piazzas, historical places in Rome captivate both history buffs and art aficionados. One of the city's most visited attractions, Colosseum evokes the atmosphere of gladiatorial combats and animal fights. The tunnels and graves at Catacombe di San Callisto preserve the legacy of early Christianity. Featuring an outstanding collection of Classical sculptures and Renaissance art, Vatican Museums exemplify the wealth and grandeur of the Roman Catholic Church, so far removed from its humble beginnings. At Piazza Navona, you can observe remarkable Baroque architecture blending with contemporary alfresco restaurants and street art.
