Top neighbourhoods in Rome

Rome Historic Centre which includes a square or plaza, a city and a fountain

Rome Historic Centre

The ancient heart of Rome beats strongest here, where the Colosseum's massive arches stand as a timeless monument to human achievement. Stroll cobblestone streets to discover the Pantheon's perfect dome, toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, and soak up the buzzing energy of Piazza Navona. The past and present dance together in this open-air museum where every corner tells a storey. Traditional trattorias serve up perfect plates of carbonara between sightseeing adventures. Getting around is a breeze with metro stations like Colosseo and Cavour connecting you to the wider city. For the full experience, stay in a converted palazzo where ancient walls hold modern comforts.

Trastevere showing outdoor eating as well as a couple

Trastevere

Trastevere's medieval streets feel like a secret Rome hiding in plain sight. The golden mosaics of Santa Maria basilica shine while fountains splash in cobblestone piazzas. Wander through narrow alleys to discover hidden churches, artisan workshops, and Villa Farnesina's breathtaking Renaissance frescoes. For the best views, climb Janiculum Hill and see the entire city unfold beneath umbrella pines. Family-run trattorias serve perfect carbonara while locals and visitors share aperitivo culture between 6-8pm. Getting around is simple with Tram 8 and multiple bus lines connecting you to Rome's main attractions. Skip the wheeled luggage though – these ancient cobblestones demand comfortable walking shoes.

Monti featuring a ruin and heritage architecture as well as a small group of people

Monti

Monti's cobblestone streets weave between ancient Roman ruins and medieval buildings, creating a living museum that's both historic and hip. Discover treasures like the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore with its dazzling golden mosaics and the spectacular classical sculptures of Palazzo Massimo. Duck into charming piazzas where locals sip espresso, or browse the indie boutiques and artisan workshops along Via del Boschetto. Traditional trattorias serve perfect plates of carbonara alongside trendy wine bars where aperitivo hour brings the area to life. The Metro B line at Cavour station connects you seamlessly to Rome's highlights, though the joy of Monti is wandering its narrow streets on foot. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings offer the perfect home base for exploring.

Prati which includes heritage elements, street scenes and heritage architecture

Prati

Prati gives you the perfect taste of real Roman life without ditching the good stuff. Walk tree-lined boulevards to discover upscale shops along Via Cola di Rienzo, then duck into a cosy trattoria where actual Romans eat lunch. The Vatican Museums and majestic Castel Sant'Angelo sit at your doorstep, but you'll enjoy them without the chaotic tourist energy. Getting around couldn't be simpler with Metro Line A connecting you to Rome's highlights in minutes. Elegant boutique hotels occupy converted early 1900s buildings, complete with wrought-iron balconies and ornate facades. The area buzzes with sophisticated wine bars and local cafes perfect for people-watching and authentic aperitivo culture.

Testaccio

Testaccio serves up Rome's soul on a plate without the tourist fanfare. This working-class district keeps it real with its famous market where locals haggle over artichokes and pecorino. Monte Testaccio, a hill made entirely of ancient pottery shards, sits alongside the former slaughterhouse buildings that now house cutting-edge art exhibitions. Traditional trattorias dish out authentic Roman cuisine like cacio e pepe and offal specialities that won't break the bank. Getting around is a breeze with the nearby Piramide Metro station and frequent buses connecting to central Rome in minutes. Apartment rentals in ochre-colored buildings give you a genuine slice of area life.

Rome and related destinations

Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain and legend promises your return to this eternal city. The Colosseum stands as a magnificent ruin where you can almost hear ancient crowds roaring. Vatican Museums house artistic treasures culminating in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, where necks crane upward in collective awe. Spanish Steps offer perfect people-watching while enjoying gelato that makes commercial ice cream seem like a sad compromise. Piazza Navona's baroque fountains provide theatrical backdrops for espresso sipping. The Pantheon's perfect dome still defies architectural logic two millennia later. Even Rome's ordinary corners reveal extraordinary fragments of history – ancient columns casually incorporated into medieval buildings as if history were simply a practical building material.

This period offers great value for money, making it a perfect opportunity for those looking to experience Rome on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover enticing last-minute deals to Rome, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to receive updates on flash sales and special promotions, so you don't miss potential savings.
