Rome Neighborhoods: Where to Stay
Rome wasn't built in a day, and deciding where to stay shouldn't be rushed either. The Eternal City sprawls across seven hills, each neighborhood offering a completely different experience—from the cobblestone chaos of Trastevere to the grand boulevards of Prati.
Centro Storico
#1 PickSteps from Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona—the postcard Rome.

Top Hotels
Hotel Martis Palace, Hotel Navona, Albergo del Senato
Trastevere
#2 PickCobblestone lanes, ivy-covered trattorias, and Rome's most authentic nightlife.

Hotel Santa Maria, Trilussa Palace, VOI Donna Camilla Savelli
Monti
#3 PickTrendy, bohemian neighborhood literally steps from the Colosseum.

Top Hotels
Hotel Forum, Nerva Boutique Hotel, The Fifteen Keys
Prati
#4 PickElegant, wide-boulevard district adjacent to Vatican City.

Top Hotels
Hotel Della Conciliazione, NH Collection Roma Giustiniano
Termini
#5 PickTransportation hub with excellent metro and airport connections.
Local Insight
