I often hear of people booking vacations in Rome without knowing whether the area they will be staying in may fulfil their holiday needs. The Rome Italy Map and Rome area articles below will help you make an informed decision regarding your start point for touring Rome...
Trastevere from Latin meaning beyond the Tiber is one of my favorite areas of Rome. This old, lively and beautiful suburb of Rome has many roads closed to traffic. Discovering new sights and Rome tourist attractions by foot is a pleasure. I don't mind getting lost in the streets of Trastevere.
Fine restaurants, wine bars, cafes and pubs are abound. Nightlife is exciting and opportunities are plentiful to watch Italians exercising Bella figura - a performance to emphasize beauty and aesthetics. Even if areas like 'Campo d Fiori' and 'Pantheon' are only minutes away by foot there are plenty of buses trams and taxis to ferry tourists across the Tiber.
Janiculum hill (really an extension of Trastevere ) is where you can enjoy some of the most panoramic views of Rome. On most days you can also see the hills of the Castelli Romani on the far side of Rome.
Shopping! Hold onto your wallet! Via del Corso running from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia, and Via Condotti running from the Spanish steps to Via del Corso, are home to the biggest Italian brands. All to tempt you away from the 'serious business' of touring Rome.
The Spanish Steps is a pricier area with plenty of luxury Rome hotels to choose from. Via del Babuino, which runs towards Piazza last minute hotel deals in new york city del Popolo, has antiquity shops, bars and restaurants. The area is not particularly known for it's nightlife.
Italy's most famous fountain and celebrated in La Dolce Vita when Anita Ekberg bathed in the Trevi fountain. Legend has it that by throwing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain you're assured to visit the Eternal City again.

There is a good selection last minute hotel deals in new york city of restaurants, however like the Spanish steps and Piazza del Popolo, nightlife is not that active and most head towards Trastevere, the Roman Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Campo d Fiori areas.
Most major Rome tourist attractions like the ancient Roman Colosseum, Trevi fountain, ancient Roman Forum, and the ancient last minute hotel deals in new york city Roman Pantheon are within walking distance. This is a great starting point for those eager to stretch the legs.
There is no Metro stop close to the Pantheon area however it is still well connected with public transport. Only the small electric buses are able to travel the narrow streets. The closest Rome Metro station will be either Spagna last minute hotel deals in new york city (by the Spanish Steps) or Piazza Barberini (Via Veneto) and could be as much as a 15 minute walk away.
Like Trastevere and Campo d Fiori, Piazza Navona is an exciting area to explore. Narrow streets are filled with antiquities, art, crafts, cafes, and restaurants. Something interesting greets you around every corner.
Along with the Piazza di Campo d Fiori, Piazza Navona is one of Rome' busiest squares, and active both day and night. Nightlife is exciting with plenty of choices. There is no Metro close at hand but there are other transport options like the handy little electric buses. The area is very central and most of Rome's biggest tourist attractions are in any case within walking distance.
A pedestrian friendly area. Everything beautiful and interesting about Rome seems to culminate here. The Piazza di Campo de Fiori (the square of Campo d Fiori) is particularly lively and even more so in the evenings. Along with Trastevere last minute hotel deals in new york city and Piazza Navona this is one of my favorite last minute hotel deals in new york city areas of Rome.
The Quirinal Repubblica area is very green with many beautiful and relaxing parks, it's also central and there are many opportunities for your Rome Vacation Rentals. The area bordering Esquilino (see the Rome Italy Map) is where most of the restaurants, pubs and nightlife happens. last minute hotel deals in new york city Termini Station, the main transport junction for Rome, is close at hand.
Esquilino lacks the variety and Roman authentic feel of other the Rome central areas. Some parts can be a little seedy, especially the section nearest Termini last minute hotel deals in new york city Station. There is a good covered last minute hotel deals in new york city market at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. The area has many immigrants and some good foreign restaurants. Termini station is also close at hand.
The San Giovanni area is more open and spacious than most Rome areas however it's on the 'wrong side' of Rome and a bit far from most Rome tourist attractions. Walking from here is not really an option and you will have to rely on Rome public transport.
last minute hotel deals in new york city The Rome Metro is alongside San Giovanni Basilica - a beautiful building, the oldest Western Basilica and considered the head of all the churches of the world. Find out more at the dedicated page on the San Giovanni area .
Aventine hill (Aventino) is a very rich quiet suburb and possibly an option if you want your Rome accommodation beyond the frenetic pace of Rome. There is very little in Aventine in the line of nightlife or activities, for this you need to head down to Testaccio, Campo de Fiori or across last minute hotel deals in new york city the river to Trastevere.
