Centro neighborhood in Rome, with its historical allure, beckons to the culturally curious. The neighborhood is home to the iconic Pantheon, a testament to Rome's ancient grandeur, and the picturesque Piazza Navona, a lively square filled with Baroque masterpieces. The narrow cobblestone streets are lined with an array of trattorias offering traditional Roman dishes, charming gelaterias, and artisan boutiques. With easy access to multiple bus lines and the Metro, Centro makes traversing the Eternal City a breeze. A stay in Centro offers an authentic immersion into Rome's rich tapestry of history, art, and gastronomy.

Old school vibe from the very beginning is the only way to describe the Esquilino neighborhood. The Esquilino takes pride in being one of the oldest areas in Rome for its key location on one of the city’s famous seven hills. From an ancient neighborhood to its modern incarnation as a multicultural hub, Esquilino always has something going on—polyglot vendors debate street artists while kids play pick-up basketball games. Look around you: this area isn’t like the historic center. Liberty architecture, large piazzas, and long boulevards mix with archaic arches, secret side alleys, and beautiful churches like Santa Maria Maggiore.

Castro Pretorio lures visitors with its unique blend of ancient history and contemporary culture. This neighborhood is home to the National Roman Museum, where one can marvel at a collection of Greco-Roman art. Take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful gardens of Villa Torlonia, a neoclassical villa turned public park, or explore the local dining scene that offers everything from traditional Italian cuisine to innovative fusion dishes. With the Castro Pretorio metro station providing easy access to other parts of Rome, this neighborhood serves as a convenient base for further exploration. The ambiance of Castro Pretorio is a testament to Rome's enduring allure, where the past and present coexist harmoniously.

With three of Rome’s most beloved piazzas within a five-minute walk of each other, the Navona / Pantheon / Campo area may be the prettiest and most picturesque area of the city. Join the beautiful throngs hanging out in cafes, boutiques, art galleries, and wine bars, or peek at a neighborhood museum or monument. If you want nonstop movida, the streets here are busy with chic bicyclists and Vespa drivers, street vendors, merchants, and locals. There is no rhyme or reason to its winding streets and there's something to see around every corner, so take pleasure in a spontaneous wander.

Trastevere ("beyond the Tiber") is like a faded postcard, a little worn around the edges but still charming. With its wide-open piazzas, meandering streets, weathered Renaissance buildings, and overgrown personality, it's become an irresistible mecca for visitors. Trastevere is an enclave of entertainment - a rotating set of street performers entertains almost every night, and unforgettable eateries and bars pepper its piazzas and side streets. For a trip to the past, visit the southern and western flanks of Trastevere for pockets of yesteryear, less traversed areas with a residual 1960s and 70s Roman vibe.

Thanks to Fellini and La Dolce Vita, the Ludovisi and Via Veneto neighborhood earned its reputation as a posh area where gorgeous Marcellos wooed actresses and models while bored housewives hung out in streetside cafes. The cafes are still there, and so are the cocktails, but the neighborhood is now home to five-star businesses including hotels, banks, law firms, and embassies. The area is also right next to Villa Borghese, a beautiful park for sporting and cultural adventures. If you're looking for tranquility by night, this may be the place: Ludovisi and Veneto tend to shut down after 8pm.

From its original role as ancient army training fields to its present-day identity as one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods, the Campo Marzio is the best place to get lost in Rome. Gorgeous Renaissance and Baroque palazzos line the streets, and are filled with enticing boutiques and food shops. By day, Rome’s best-dressed denizens criss-cross its streets in a fashionable parade of errands, occasionally pausing to look fabulous in gorgeous piazzas like San Lorenzo in Lucina. Campo Marzio can be a bit of a sleeper after aperitivi hour (9pm), so visit by day and experience the pulse of daytime Rome.
