A residential neighborhood near Vatican City. Wide tree-lined streets, upscale shops, and good restaurants. It's cleaner and quieter than the historic center.

Postcard-perfect historic centerBaroque eleganceUpscale and sophisticated+2

The most central and safe option if you prioritize convenience over authenticity. Constant activity and police presence. Everything costs more here, especially near Piazza Navona. If you value easy access to major sites and don't mind tourist crowds, this works well.

Popular with people traveling alone because there's always something happening and it's easy to meet others. The constant activity makes walking home at night feel safer than quieter neighborhoods. The cobblestones can be rough on your feet after a long day.
