WHERE TO STAY
Piazza Navona & Pantheon
The area around Piazza Navona and the Pantheon is probably one of the most trafficked areas of Rome. Part of the Centro Storico, or the historical center, this is the heart and soul of Rome bordered by the Tiber on one side and connecting to the Vatican via the Ponte Sant’Angelo, a beautiful pedestrian bridge with angels designed by Bernini and leading to Castel Sant’Angelo.
​
Campo de Fiori
Campo dei Fiori has the lucky and unlucky distinction of being at the tourist heart of Rome, halfway between Piazza del Popolo in the north and the Coliseum in the south. Campo is a thriving market during the day and then the center of study abroad nightlife once the sun goes down.
​
Trastevere
As you wander the streets of Trastevere cobble stone streets twist and turn through narrow alleyways like a tedious argument. People rush by; hopping from one bar to another, walking down the streets with Peroni bottles in their hands and laughing with friends. Tourists and residents alike, sit outside enjoying one of the many restaurants that occupy the narrow streets. The summer night is alive and vibrant.
