City hotel guide
Rome
Rome sits in Lazio on the Tiber and is Italy’s capital; Vatican City is enclosed within the city boundaries. For hotel planning, the main visitor bases differ by trip style: the historic quarter puts you near piazzas, the Pantheon, Campo de’ Fiori and the Jewish Ghetto; the Colosseum/Monti side works for ancient-Rome sights; Vatican/Prati suits museum-focused stays and a more ordered, boulevard-style district; Trastevere, west of the Tiber, is useful for restaurants and evening atmosphere. From Fiumicino Airport, Trenitalia’s Leonardo Express runs non-stop to Roma Termini, the main interchange, in 32 minutes with departures scheduled every 15 minutes.

Getting there & around
From the airport
Rome’s main airport is Fiumicino (FCO). The easiest first-arrival option is the Leonardo Express train to Roma Termini: non-stop, about 32 minutes, usually every 15 minutes. The FL1 regional train is better for Trastevere, Ostiense/Piramide, or Tiburtina, but it does not go to Termini. Airport coaches run to Termini and can take roughly 45-70 minutes depending on traffic. Official white taxis use fixed airport fares to central Rome inside the Aurelian Walls; expect about 35-60 minutes by road. Ciampino (CIA) is smaller: direct coaches to Termini take about 40 minutes, or use the airport bus to Ciampino rail station then train to Termini; taxis are usually 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.

Around the city
Rome has metro lines A, B/B1 and C, plus buses, trams and urban rail. For most visitors, walk within the historic centre and use metro/bus for longer hops: Line A is useful for Vatican/Spanish Steps/Termini, Line B for Colosseum/Termini/Ostiense. Use a BIT 100-minute ticket for occasional rides, Roma 24H/48H/72H for busier sightseeing days, or CIS for a week; contactless tap&go also works on much of ATAC. Validate paper tickets before travel. Buses are useful but slow in the old centre, and airport express trains are not covered by normal Metrebus tickets.

Before choosing where to stay
Historic-centre walking base
The historic quarter groups Navona, Campo de’ Fiori, the Jewish Ghetto and the Pantheon area, making it practical for travelers who want many central sights within walking range.
SourceAncient Rome and Monti
The Colosseum area is tied to the Roman Forum, Imperial Forums and Capitoline Museums; nearby Monti sits above the Forum, so it fits stays centered on ancient-Rome sites.
SourceVatican and Prati
The Vatican area serves the Holy See sights and museums; adjoining Prati is next to Vatican City and is known for wider boulevards, useful for travelers who prefer a less maze-like base than the old centre.
SourceAirport-to-Termini logistics
From Fiumicino Airport, the Leonardo Express is a non-stop link to Roma Termini; Trenitalia describes Termini as the main interchange for public transport and major rail lines.

Dining
Il Pagliaccio
In the heart of Rome, a true gastronomic journey without boundaries begins, articulated through different menus according to the experience chosen: from Circus, “an itinerary that knows no limits”, to Scintille, centred on essential flavours and creative gestures, through to Parallels, an exclusive experience served in a private room of even greater intimacy.Guiding this narrative is Anthony Genovese, cosmopolitan chef-patron of personal vision and crystalline talent, capable of surprising even in moments closest to tradition, such as the Tortello, evocative of childhood memories, or the origi
WebsiteAcquolina
Just steps from Piazza del Popolo, the elegant First Roma welcomes guests with courteous, impeccable hospitality before leading them into a dining room of understated design, in keeping with contemporary taste, yet with tables still set with style and attentive service described as “dynamic” by its own team. At center stage is the cuisine of Daniele Lippi, who interprets the Mediterranean in its broadest sense, reaching well beyond national borders. Two tasting menus are offered: Periplo, dedicated to the aquatic world, and Anabasi Catabasi, which incorporates meat as well. Both conclude with
WebsiteLa Pergola
The new Pergola, following meticulous refurbishment, welcomes guests into surroundings that seem to breathe with the city: the hues of travertine, reflections of Roman red, soft light gliding across surfaces echo the soul of the capital and transform it into atmosphere. The terrace, too, has been renewed, yet the true spectacle remains unchanged: Rome, as evening falls, spreads silently at the foot of Monte Mario, a sea of rooftops and domes appearing suspended, as if holding its breath. At the stoves since 1994, Heinz Beck continues to drive his cooking towards new sensitivities, moving effor
WebsiteEnoteca La Torre
Within the captivating 1911 architecture of Villa Laetitia, the restaurant occupies a sumptuous dining room rich in stucco work and columns, enhanced by broad windows opening onto the exclusive garden: the ideal setting for an evening in grand style. The cooking, which does not forget the Campanian roots of the chef, returns to these echoes at several moments throughout the menu, alternating iconic recipes with more personal creations. Among the dishes that have become representative of the house, the egg, buffalo taleggio and black truffle of woodland character stands out, while the indulgent
WebsiteIdylio by Apreda
An elegant dining room in shades of blue and orange is the backdrop for Francisco Apreda’s cuisine, in which this chef combines Italian cuisine with spicy and Asian-influenced flavours thanks to his time spent working in Asia. He offers various tasting menus: one dedicated to his classic favourites, a second featuring his new dishes, and a third for vegetarians. There’s also an excellent wine list, with an extensive selection of wines by the glass.
WebsiteAchilli al Parlamento
Situated just a stone’s throw from the Parliament building, this elegant restaurant’s origins as a wine shop are visible in the many wine bottles that line the walls of the dining room. Today, the restaurant offers elegant cuisine, divided into two tasting menus, one more traditional and the other more adventurous, as well as an à la carte menu featuring creative dishes such as the “Senza spaghetto alle vongole” and well-executed dishes inspired by the Campania region.Chef Gallo reveals a sure hand and remarkable skill in making the most of entirely plant-based ingredients, from which he conju
WebsiteIl Convivio Troiani
A restaurant of solid tradition, born in the early 1990s from the vision of three brothers from the Marche region – Angelo, Giuseppe, and Massimo: the first at the stoves, the others in the dining room. Over time, this establishment has become a benchmark in Roman dining thanks to a cuisine of strong authorial character, presented through two elaborate tasting menus – one entirely dedicated to the vegetable world. These menus can be adapted in length and are structured by seasonal rhythms and a constant dialog with Italy’s gastronomic roots. Iconic dishes are available to complement the experi
WebsiteImàgo
One of the capital’s most iconic gastronomic rooftop venues, this restaurant enjoys a setting of rare distinction: perched atop the celebrated Spanish Steps at Trinità dei Monti, within the Hotel Hassler, it is reached by lift and counts among Rome's most renowned dining rooms, recently renovated to include an open kitchen, new flooring, and carefully considered lighting. Here one dines surrounded by large windows looking out over the city’s most emblematic monuments, from the twin bell towers of Trinità dei Monti to views stretching along the horizon, a constant invitation to rediscover the u
