Picking The Right Location

Picking Your Base Camp

Things to Consider - Walking, Metro or Taxi?

Walking

Largo Argentina /Campo De’ Fiori - This is my favorite area as it is central to so many of Rome’s attractions. This are you will mainly rely on walking or busses. Rome’s nearest metro station is about a 15 to 20 minute walk away.

Trastevere - Just across the Tiber river from Campo De’ Fiori area, Trastevere is one of Rome’s most popular neighborhoods. Great restaurants and shops to explore and a bit more walking required but a good trade off for such a great neighborhood to base from.

The Pantheon / Piazza Navona - Both are great areas to base your visit from. You will still primarily be walking to but so many great things to explore right at your footstaps.

Metro & Taxi

Monti - Monti is a great area to base from plus it has the advantage of having 2 metro station in the neighborhood making it super convenient to get around Rome. Just steps from the Colosseum.

Testacio- Located a bit far to rely on walking but the metro is nearby. This neighborhood tend to a a bit removed from the typical tourists and offer a more authentic experience. Lots of great dining options are everywhere in Testacio. Getting around by taxi is also a good option.

The Spanish Steps - The area of the Spanish Steps is great for taxi or the metro as both are readily available. This area is a little more upscale & tends to cost a bit more for hotels & food. Pay more get more??
