Trastevere is a great place to stay. I’m 75 and had no problems walking to many historic sites from Trastevere. A taxi can whisk you to site further away. As a home base, we found wonderful restaurants and walked the neighborhood feeling safe and happy. We stayed at the Santa Maria Hotel. It was secure, quiet, and beautiful. I love Rome and hope to return to Trastevere.

On the way to the church of San Clemente from Santa Maria Maggiore, also has affordable places to stay.

This is absolutely spot-on advice on where to stay in Rome. I have been to Rome many, many times both for business and pleasure. I have given similar advice to others who are going to Rome for the first time. Another point I like to make is that there is so much to see and do in Rome, that the more time you spend there, the better. My other tip is that there is a different rhythm to Rome, and just hanging out and having a leisurely lunch is a big part of the experience. I recommend getting up early and doing specific sightseeing in the morning. This way you avoid the crowds, and heat in the summer. I like to concentrate on one area a day, and I think of the Pantheon or the area you describe as being like the spoke of a wheel. Then lunch without having to wait for tables, then strolling around, having gelato, then back to hotel for a very important siesta, and then out again in the evening such as being in Piazza Navona at night. I also like the area just to the west of Piazza Navona, near the Chiostro del Bramante, but thats not as central as Torre Argentina. I enjoyed your video very much.

Trastevere is a great neighborhood to stay in but try to stay within a couple hundred meters of the Tiber. I personally try to stay close to Piazza Santa Maria. Just out on the main road there are Taxis and along the river many buses heading to the station or to the Vatican. You will end up walking a bit more staying in Trastevere but it is a good trade off. It is still easy to walk across the river to most of the sights.

Lots of planning to do between now and then. Remember book your hotels and Airbnb early if you are going during peak season. You’ll save a lot of money on your place and you’ll have the best selection by booking 4 to 6 months in advance if you’re going off-season, you can just kind of fly by the city of your pants in December, January and February no need to book early. I like booking just a few days in advance as you often get good discounts for last minute but that’s not the case during high season. I hope you have a great trip.

It is very convenient but if you stay closer to the Tiber you won’t need to rely on as much making your stay even better in my opinion

I loved your video. Rome can be very confusing and hard to find your way around as it is such an ancient city. Your video gives a really good over view of where everything is in relation to each other. Admittedly I was rather young when I was last there but my experience is it is a very walkable city as there is always something interesting to see and just going exploring with not destination in mind will open you up to seeing so many beautiful buildings. In some cities you are constantly aware of the traffic and the noise for cars and trucks. I don't think that is the case for Rome as so many of the roads in the old area are very narrow. Which makes it so much more pleasant to walk around than other cities of the same size. I lived for a short time out towards where the Olympics had been held. It was an easy bus ride in towards the Vatican where I could change to the metro if I wanted to but to be honest because I had very little money I more often than not walked it. It was also because this was before internet or smart phones and that was easier than trying to work out when the next bus was coming along. Living outside of the old part of town meant food was cheaper and the locals were willing to help me with my Italian. So all I'm saying is you don't have to stay right in the city centre to enjoy your time in Roma. Though if you only have a couple of days to see "everything" you might want to be closer than I was. Just remember it's not possible to see everything in one trip and if you are like me you will fall in love with the city and want to come back.

Lots of great tips there... I stayed around the corner from Campo de Fiori a few years ago with my family and walked everywhere, but disappointed that we missed all around Torre Argentina! Can 100% vouch for this being the best place to try to stay as apart from one day when it was raining terribly and we needed to get on a hop on hop off bus (wouldn't recommend it) it was really manageable, even for me who isn't the fittest person, all flat and it's just distance really. and it's worth walking as all of a sudden, you turn a corner and then there's ruins that you didn't know about! We were booked in to stay across the river from Castel San Angelo this year (but didn't make it) and would recommend that area as a good compromise between walking to the Vatican and also being within very short walking distance to Piazza Navona and then all the other places that are so worth walking to...

I am planning a trip to Italy this summer. We are doing a cruise that starts near Rome so we are flying into Rome early see a bit of the city prior to the cruise, and I just stumbled on to your you tube channel. I really am enjoying it and I love your practical advice! Can you recommend a hotel near Torre Argentina that you stayed at or that you know is a good one? I plan to watch more videos.

A bit far to walk, about 2 kilometers, maybe a little more. Best to take bus 64 from the station and it will drop you off there. 64 is a popular bus and runs about every 10 minutes. A taxi can get you there for about 12 euros fairly fast. I did not mention this in the video, or maybe I did? There is a GREAT pizza by the slice place at the square called Pizza Florida. In my opinion it is one of the pest pizza talio places in Rome so be sure to stop there when you get to the square. You will not regret it! One more thing the square is also now a cat colony so you can eat pizza and check out all the cats below in the ruins.

I booked for Monti near Trajan’s column. Seems to be a good spot.

If you are over by Trajan's column you are not far from Large di Torre Argentina. Nice area!

Makes sense, I have always stayed near Termini Station, but the only plus side is getting to your hotel room fast after a long flight…

With the flat rate taxi service from the airport for €50. The taxi will take you to any hotel in the city so next time venture out a bit from Termini. Thanks for the comment and watching.

Leaving tomorrow for Rome (then after 10 days heading to Malta) by coincidence, we are staying 150 meters from your "ground Zero" at Casa Santa Lucia Filippini. Thanks for the tips, I will have access to my cell and can research many of these sites later this week. Thanks

I think this is the best “Best place to stay in Rome” KZread. Others I watched gave the normal 8 places which cover most Rome, which doesn’t help much. I have studied in detail and I came to a very close proximity as your recommendation. I had mine at Basilica di Sant’ Andrea 😊. Within 1km (12 mins) covers 90% and 1.5 km radius (18 mins walk) covers 99% of Rome attractions. Monti or Prati is near to one attraction but far from the rest. Termin, Spanish steps are >2.5km from Trastevere or Campo area, which is probably too far to walk.

@RozierRoma

You have done your homework I appreciate that. Campo de’ Fiori offers may not be the exact center but with its proximity to transportation and sights. Plus a relatively quiet area, you should give it some consideration. Once you understand all the things close by and it sounds like you do, it makes a great home base.once they get line c metro open Monti will be much more appealing

Hi, I am a female solo traveller and was in Rome for four days last October. I stayed at the Albergo Ottocento on Via del Cappuccini, close to Piazza Barberini. I loved this hotel, particularly the very helpful staff. The location is on a side street, close to the Metro, many bus stops, the Spanish Steps, the Via Veneto and the Fontana di Trevi. I bought a 3 day ticket on the hop on one of the hop off buses and after doing the circuit I used it as transportation to get to destinations further away, such as Vatican City. But I walked to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum from my hotel. Rome is a wonderful city for walking as there is something interesting around every corner. So leave plenty of time to explore. When it comes to Florence, a day trip is simply not enough. I suggest spending at least two days. Prebook your tickets to the Uffizi and the Accademia, otherwise you will wait in line for hours. On my 2016 visit I stayed at the Grand Hotel Minerva, Piazza Santa Maria Novella, which is just a block from the railway station, and very historic. They were doing renovations at the time and I got an older room with a superb view of the Duomo. I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy.

You may be right for a shorter visit or a first visit but I spent a month near Trastavere station last year and it was great. Less easy access to the Centre but... opened up the whole Testaccio area and Marconi plus Trastevere. This year, i am presently staying near San Paolo metro. Really easy access by metro and this time, Garbatella. Were I to come again, i would try to find in Garbatella. But first time, centro all the way, as you say.

Thanks for all the added suggestions. It is fun to explore Rome and the best way to do that is change up the areas you stay in. I think the best location for ease of getting to everything is the Largo Argentina area but like you said there are other great areas. I find myself staying more often in Trastevere near Santa Maria. Just curious what do you like best about Testacio area? I get that there are some very good restaurants there but it is not as walker friendly and Trastevere, and lacks its charm. What am I missing?

@@RozierRoma The "Mercato Nuovo" is really neat and near Mt Testaccio there is a "semi-buried" area with one or two restaurants that look like a throw back to 1940's, haunting. Yesterday discovered Basilica San Bosco area (it features in the background of '40's-50's movies). The church and surrounding apt. buildings all match in 1930's facist (rational) architecture? (Must look it up). Fascinating. And then down Viale Giulia Agricola to Parco dei Acquadotti. Beautiful. But you are quite right in your choice of a central location. I just like to explore.. mostly based on movies and books. Ciao.

Great city , stayed in the Prati for 5 nights - loved it. When I was in Amsterdam we hit a restaurant were most of the staff is from Roma - we told them how much we loved their city , he thanked us. Great people , great food , great history , terrible parking!

I've been to Rome a few times. We know a Chinese immigrant who is going to Rome with her daughter. We just met for lunch and talked about Rome. In China they don't study Chinese or Western history. Everything in the trip will be new. We discussed hotels and "how much can you see in the time you're there" I just sent her this video. I hope she finds it as good as I do! You show the relation of the areas very well.

Your video is very helpful always starting from the same square “home base”. Would love to know if you prefer a hotel or Airbnb in the area? Is it easy to bike around Rome? Or easier to walk and bus? TY!

@RozierRoma

Both are good options. I personally like Airbnb as I like having a kitchen and eating some meals at home. There are several good options in the area to choose from if you book early. Riding a bike on the streets of Rome can be intimidating. Drivers are pretty aggressive in Rome. I find walking, bus and metro work best for me.

We stayed on Via Marmorata just across the Tiber from the Trastevere. We were able to walk to most of the big tourist areas easily.
