Areas And Neighbourhoods Of Rome

    View: 
Let's make your Italian experience something unique! Before booking your trip make sure to select the perfect location for your staing in Rome. Rome has many areas in the city center, each one with its own unique touch and style. Where should you start from? Here are some guidelines.



1)TRASTEVERE: grew in the middle ages with narrow, winding, irregular streets. There was no space for carriages to pass, therefore Trastevere remained a maze of narrow streets what is known today.

The area of Trastevere is a major attraction for its movie theaters, restaurants, cabaret clubs, crafts artisans and picturesque maze of narrow cobbled alleyways.

During the evenings, cafe and restaurants spill out their tables over to the pavement, Santa Maria square becoming the hearth of the nightlife. In the morning you can best appreciate this friendly and truly roman neighborhood.

2)THE SPANISH STEP: it's the area where the famous "Scalinata" (staircase) is and can be recognized by a rectangle like shape and the very famous water fountain called "La Fontana della Barcaccia" at the foot of the stairs (built in 1627-29).

No doubt it's the widest and longest staircase of Europe; definitely a must see place in Rome. As of today, the Spanish Steps area has turned into a meeting point and also an attraction if you want to take a romantic or scenic ride around Rome in a carriage pulled by a horse.

3)THE PANTHEON: built by the romans in 27 B.C, once the "Temple of all the gods" (by definition) it was turned into a church in 609. This perfect square rests on a cylinder and it measures 142 ft per 142ft high.

Incredibly well preserved, probably among the best among all of the Roman buildings and monuments in Rome, definitely a must see in your tour planning.

Come get your Italian cappuccino, pasta or pizza in one of its many neighbouring restaurants and relax in front of this magnificent wonder of the world. Also many 'curious' and original souvenir shops and "Gelato" in Rome are popular here.

4)THE COLOSSEUM: for a long time it has been known as the "Flavian Amphitheater", it has 55k spectators seats. Gladiators and wild animals fights were hosted here, under the emperor eye to entartain the romans.

Emperor Vespasian wanted but it was finished only under his son Domiziano in 80 AD by his son Domitian, it's the most famous touristic place where to go in Rome, you can't leave Rome without witnessing it.

Sometimes, special events are held inside. Today's stadiums and structures have been inspired by the concepts introduced in the Colosseum's building structure.

5)THE VATICAN, St. PETER'S CHURCH: this is were the independent state of The Vatican is. Defined since February 11, 1929 it's home of the Pope and were the impressive St. Peter basilica is. During each Sunday, the popes give out masses to the public.

The massive large square fills with people listening to the magic and powering words of the pope.

It also houses the best museum of antiquity, artefacts, paintings and archeological finds in the world. Many people travel to Rome just to witness this event. Even though attracts many tourists, it's still a quiet, settled peaceful area to come and visit.

6)TREVI FOUNTAIN: located in the historical city centre is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Rome and the largest standing Baroque fountain in Rome, 25.9 meters (85 feet) height and 19.8 meters (65 feet) width.

Trevi Fountain is so called because of its position which is at the intersection of 3 roads (in italian 'tre vie'). On the back of fountain there is a building called Palazzo dei Duchi di Polis, it represents a replica of the triumphal arch. As the legend goes if visitor throws a coin into the fountain, he/she will be back in Rome!

7)CAMPO DEI FIORI: during the day is conquered by many stand owners selling their freshly goods and vegetable products in its famous daily outdoor market. A charming location to have a quick bite to eat, wonder around, and people watching.

Boutiques and souvenir shops are spread all over Campo dei Fiori and very interesting. During the whole year, people sit outside the Piazza surrounded by many outdoor Trattorias and espresso bars.

At night is when the area turns into lively and chic, with a very animated atmosphere.In recent years has become more and more a popular tourist attraction.

8)PIAZZA NAVONA: built over the oval structure of the "Domitian Stadium", at the time of the ancient romans it used to be flooded with water to stage naval battle ships and it was seating 30,000 spectators.

Today, you will be astonished by the three magnificent fountains in marble designed by Bernini. An Egyptian Obelisk lies in the middle of the square. The streets surrounding Piazza Navona are full of small shops and fine restaurants.

Epiphany (la "Befana") is hosted here and from the 8th December until 6th of January Navona square is the host of this event.
