For first-time visitors, Rome can seem chaotic and confusing, but there's a surprisingly compact center and you’ll be able to do much of your exploring on foot. Most sightseeing in Rome is concentrated between the city’s main transport hub, Stazione Termini, in the east, and Vatican City in the west. The Vatican is one of Rome’s most awe-inspiring areas and contains two must-see attractions: St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums’ Sistine Chapel. The Historic Center (Centro Storico) occupies the right bank bulge on the River Tiber, opposite the Vatican. We’ve divided the area into the elegant northern half which includes Tridente and Trevi Fountain, and the bustling southern section, which includes the old Jewish Quarter. Directly south, the Colosseum and the Forum anchor Ancient Rome, along with the village-like Monti neighborhood. North of Center, Villa Borghese is ideal for recharging your batteries. The more distant southern neighborhoods of Trastevere and Testaccio are a little divorced from the main sightseeing trail but are popular nightlife and foodie hubs.

The introduction is superb: Lusting of the recommended areas, supplemented with a very simple to read map! 🎉🎉

[@keala7175]

For the last 49 years I have always stayed at the Ho tel Accademia just a few feet from the Trevi Fountain.

[@chronic2023]

I just got back from Rome and stayed at a hotel in Celio, 3 blocks east of the Colosseum. There were good restaurants nearby. Termini is known to be seedy. In fact, I avoided the area as a 73-year-old woman traveling solo.

[@biblicalgodisonlytruegod]

74 woman and also travel solo. I stay just west of Piazza NAVONNA! Fabulous neighborhood. Very inexpensive (used to be) was “Charming Navonna”. GREAT restaurants close by!!

[@matildamaher1505]

Thanks for the info, it was helpful

[@Mike28a]

I have been staying at the Hotel Villa San Pio when in Rome for the past 25 years and it is without a doubt my favorite hotel in the world.

[@SantoriniDaveHQ]

Thanks Mike!

[@rovers4lyfe]

Thanks for the video great help planning our stay in Rome

[@dpmu1977]

Stayed at the Hotel dei Mellini in November , perfectly placed and very quiet with loads of restaurants a few minutes away. Great staff and really nice rooms.

[@antoniobarbieri3145]

Very good job!

[@safeerchannel572]

Thanks for you video

[@theroxannedyerart]

Wonderful, thank you. I stayed at a charming B&B very near the Vatican; it was booked through the Rome B&B Association in 2000. Hope to get back there again.

[@elenamarcelino8126]

Very helpful

[@jelenaivk]

Best video ever, every tourist should check out this video before coming to Rome 💯

[@leeblount7046]

We stayed at My Extra Home apartments in Monti, wonderful experience. Short walk to the Coliseum one way, Trevi Fountain the other.

[@mukkaar]

Nice, just booked first 5 nights in city rights at the center of Vatican and Colosseum etc.. It's hostel since I'm going to be out all day anyways. On other hand I'm planning last two days to be on nicer place on coast or some beautiful location outside the center to wind down after probably walking everywhere for almost a week ;D

[@wacobob56dad]

Vatican City and most notably St. Peter’s Basilica is incredible.

[@pilarcas2342]

We rented an apartment in Prati a few years ago…best area.

[@violetgaribyan-jg9ll]

🙏🌻🌳

[@chinaman5348]

Hi Dave do you have a video for booking excursions like your Athens vlog

[@SantoriniDaveHQ]

Not yet. Hope to soon.

[@ayunicolas240]

How about twenty one hotel in Rome ? I’m curious actually but no one review

[@azucenabost8634]

Hello Dave I am planning visit Rome soon, can I have a much economic hotel ? Thanks

[@SantoriniDaveHQ]

Hotel Canada is a good affordable hotel with a convenient location. www.booking.com/hotel/it/best-western-canada.html

[@chronic2023]

I stayed at Lancelot, 3 blocks east of the Colosseum. I got 6 nights in a single for roughly $800. Breakfast is included and is very substantial. The staff are lovely. I booked in July for a trip the first week of April.

[@gerrygalvan7313]

Hi, thanks for the video. How about a place for a family of four close to the Vatican?

[@pbrl360]

5 person family going to Rome in late September for 9 days - all adults. I went last year but the other 4 are newbies. Stayed in an apartment when my husband and I went the last time but need something larger this time. Any suggestions?

[@leeblount7046]

My Extra Home apartments in Monti, we rented a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with full kitchen and living room for about a hotel room would've cost for the week. Nice place.

[@giulianoradice4715]

The best museum in Rome is MUSEO NAZIONALE ROMANO.

[@markolwick2223]

The area around Termini is outright dangerous. I’m rather surprised you recommended it.

[@SantoriniDaveHQ]

The area feels (and looks) a bit sketchy and seedy. There are plenty of pickpockets and fraudsters about (don't accept assistance from anyone trying to "help" you buy a train ticket). But "outright dangerous" it is not.

[@v7poistblaznei]

I’ve never had a dangerous encounter near Termini station. Pickpockets etc., yes! There are more than safe places to stay a few blocks from Termini as well……Anybody can wait in line for the tourist spots, but you have to experience the zoo of Termini and the metro for the full Rome holiday 😂
