Rome, by neighbourhood

Where to stay in Rome

Four short guides written by residents: what to eat, what to see and how to move around each of our corners of the city.

Spanish Steps & Tridente

Staying near the Spanish Steps

The Tridente is the three-street fan between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna: Rome's shopping mile, its grandest hotels and, one street back, the quiet where our apartment lives.

Pantheon & Historic Centre

Staying next to the Pantheon

The rione Pigna and Colonna, between the Pantheon, Piazza di Pietra and Via del Corso, is the densest square kilometre of Rome: two thousand years of buildings and the city's best coffee, all car-free.

Monti & the Colosseum

Staying in Rione Monti

Monti is the oldest rione of Rome and the one Romans still live in: cobbled lanes, artisans, wine bars, and the Colosseum at the end of the street.

Vatican & Prati

Staying in Prati, by the Vatican

Prati is where Romans go to live well: broad streets laid out in the 1880s and 1890s, the Vatican Museums at the end of the block, and a food scene that has nothing to do with tourists.
