Rome Travel Essentials
The Eternal City — 2,800 years of history, art, and la dolce vita
Rome is an open-air museum where every street corner reveals another layer of history. The Colosseum, Pantheon, and Vatican draw millions, but the true magic lies in the everyday — a perfect espresso at a corner bar, sunset over the Forum, or stumbling on a Caravaggio painting in a quiet church. With more UNESCO sites than any other city and the world's highest concentration of historical monuments, Rome rewards both the first-time visitor and the tenth.

Is Trastevere or Centro Storico better for first-time visitors?
Centro Storico is more convenient for sightseeing — the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and Spanish Steps are all walkable. Trastevere is better for dining, nightlife, and a more local atmosphere, but requires a 15-20 minute walk or bus to reach major sites. For a first visit under 4 days, choose Centro Storico.
Do I need to stay near the Vatican?
Not necessarily. The Vatican/Prati neighborhood ($100-220/night) is calm and residential with excellent restaurants, but it's a 25-minute walk from Centro Storico sites. If the Vatican is your top priority, staying in Prati saves time for early morning museum entries. Otherwise, the metro connects most neighborhoods to the Vatican in 15-20 minutes.
