Rome is the biggest city in Italy, and a postcard-perfect view is hidden around every cobblestoned street corner. With so much to do the city can feel overwhelming, but we\u2019re here to help you out and tell you everything you need to know about where to stay in Rome<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rome is a city that you\u2019ll never get enough of. Everywhere you look you\u2019ll find marbled figures standing still, breath-taking architecture and pieces of history ranging from B.C. to modern. Backpackers love it because it\u2019s one of the biggest open-air museums in the world – all you need to do is walk around to take in the beauty of the Eternal City. And let\u2019s not forget about the food. I mean, real<\/em> Italian food, everywhere. Walk around with a gelato in hand before stopping for a slice of pizza (it\u2019s gotta be square!) or a suppl\u00ec<\/em> (a fried ball of risotto<\/em>) as a midday snack. Rome is the perfect destination for every backpacker with hungry eyes\u2026 and a hungry stomach!<\/p>\n

The rich history of Rome can be seen in its patchwork structure, where every neighbourhood merges seamlessly into the other. Officially, the historic centre is divided into twenty-two districts – an upgrade from the original four Roman regions! Monti is where you\u2019ll find the Coliseum and the Roman ruins whispering the tales of brave men and ancient glory. San Giovanni is a land of parks, aqueducts and chill caf\u00e9s. Trastevere literally means \u201cacross the Tiber\u201d and offers the hip vibe you would expect from a south-of-the-river neighbourhood. Its chic jazz bars, amazing food and ivy-covered yellow houses mean you\u2019ll find the perfect balance between history and fun. For a crazy night out with a youthful feeling, head over to the university neighbourhood of San Lorenzo, where new ideas and revolutions are born between glasses of wine, and prices are student-friendly. Finally, don\u2019t forget that there\u2019s a whole other country inside Rome\u2019s walls: the Vatican. Don\u2019t miss out on the Saint Peter\u2019s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, where you can take a walk with angels and demons.<\/p>\n

The best way to get around Rome is by metro. The two lines (A and B) link all the biggest attractions, so you won\u2019t have to wear through the soles of your new Italian leather shoes. A one-way trip is \u20ac1.50, or you can save money by getting a daily or monthly ticket. These tickets will allow you to use any form of public transport, though trams tend to be more reliable than buses in Rome. Choosing to go by foot will ensure you don\u2019t miss out on any of the awesome sightseeing. You may end up bumping into some incredible and unexpected monument or a nice caf\u00e9, and it\u2019s a great way to burn off all the pasta you\u2019ll be gobbling down. To get to Rome from the airport, you can simply hop on the train. Stay away from taxis though: they tend to be very expensive! If you\u2019re thinking of relying on Ubers you should know that only Uber Black is available, so that can be on the pricier side too.<\/p>\n

Still confused as to what\u2019s the best area to stay in Rome for you? Don\u2019t worry, our Rome neighbourhood guide is complete with everything you need to know – from where to stay, to what to do to and, most importantly, where to eat!<\/p>\n

              1. Trastevere \u2013 the best area in Rome for the hipster wanderers<\/b><\/h2>\n

              Trastevere is the area right across the Tiber from the historic centre. It\u2019s one of the most interesting and beautiful places in Rome, where old meets new in the most colourful way. It holds on to its medieval lineage with its narrow streets and bright walls, but it\u2019s also the centre of Roman nightlife and an art hub for young creatives.<\/p>\n

              Trastevere is a magical place where you\u2019ll find locals drinking espresso or putting clothes on the line, right on top of a newly opened modern art gallery.<\/p>\n

              If you\u2019ve seen the Oscar-winning film The Great Beauty, you might know that the top of the Gianicolo hill is where the intro scene was shot, and is one of the most impressive lookout points in Rome. Across the park you\u2019ll find Villa Farnesina, a Roman villa filled with frescoes by Raffaello and other incredible artists.<\/p>\n

              You\u2019ll notice that Roman street art is different from what you\u2019re used to, and that\u2019s because it\u2019s created largely from stickers. Trastevere is the best place to spot this fun, creative phenomenon, and you\u2019ll be able to catch an interesting expression of sticker art around every corner of this ivy-covered neighbourhood. Some artists like to incorporate paint and stencilling too, others glue poems and stories to the walls.<\/p>\n

              Did you know that there\u2019s an island in the middle of the Tiber? The Tiberian island is shaped like a ship and has a rich history. Nowadays, other than being home to some of the best restaurants in Rome, it also has two hospitals and a beautiful baroque church! Stroll by the Tiber on a warm summer evening to understand the meaning of the words \u2018Dolce Vita\u2019.<\/p>\n

              Are you the thrifty type? Porta Portese is the most famous flea market in Rome and you\u2019ll find it in Trastevere. It goes on every Sunday from 6am to 2pm and it\u2019s the perfect place to snag some interesting finds; from accessories to vintage clothing and antique furniture. Just make sure you know where your wallet is, as this market is known for pickpocketers!<\/p>\n

              Trastevere is Rome\u2019s trendiest neighbourhood, which you\u2019ll notice just by walking around. It\u2019s filled with extravagant boutiques like Romastore 63, which specialises in high-end perfumes, Harvey Shoes selling hand-painted Chuck Taylors, or Polvere di Tempo, a store all about hourglasses and old maps. At night, this part of Rome lights up, with everything from chic cocktail lounges to hipster bars. Piazza Trilussa is the place to be for a fun night out and you\u2019ll love mingling with the Romans as they sip their drinks, enjoy the weather and break hearts (not yours we hope!)<\/p>\n

              Places to eat in Trastevere<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Trastevere is full of cute caf\u00e9s and fancy bars to spend your days at. San Callisto square is the perfect spot to start your mornings with a cappuccino and a cornetto (Italian croissant). The San Calisto Bar is more than fifty years old and it\u2019s a real institution in the city. Come back after 8pm for a beer and experience a piece of Italian nightlife history.<\/p>\n

              Around San Callisto square you\u2019ll find a bunch of tiny restaurants, each with its own concept. They\u2019re not much bigger than a room, so it may be hard to find a spot, but it\u2019s definitely worth it! Eggs<\/a> specialises in egg-based food, including the pasta alla<\/em> carbonara<\/em>, one of Rome\u2019s most famous dishes. Pico\u2019s Taqueria<\/a> is your best bet if you\u2019re craving Mexican \u2013 hit them up on Taco Tuesday for a beer and three tacos for only \u20ac8!<\/p>\n

              If you\u2019re after something a bit more authentic, head over to the Tiberian Island. There you\u2019ll find Rome\u2019s most famous restaurant Sora Lella<\/a>. This place is as much a part of Rome\u2019s history as the Coliseum, which is why you\u2019ll always find it busy (book in advance!) It can be pretty pricey, but it\u2019s worth it just for its famous cacio e pepe: they say the secret ingredient is fresh Roman mint leaves! For dessert, just walk outside the restaurant and grab some gelato. What\u2019s more Italian than delicious handmade gelato from a little wooden window over the Tiber? Our favourite flavour is basil, but they change seasonally so get ready to improvise!<\/p>\n

              Finally, end your night at Piazza Trilussa, the social centre of Rome. Hipster in Rome means industrial, handmade and a bit rough. You\u2019ll find all of that at Meccanismo Bistrot<\/a>, a great place to stop for a nice aperitivo (basically drinks before dinner), or Freni e Frizioni<\/a>, famous for its film star inspired cocktails. All you classy people out there, don\u2019t skip Alcazar Live<\/a>, an ex-cinema turned into a jazz bar and concert space with free complimentary popcorn.<\/p>\n

              After walking around all day between Roman villas and art galleries, filling up your stomach with delicious Italian food and burning it off bar-hopping all night, you\u2019ll need a good place to rest your head so you can be ready to do it all again tomorrow.<\/p>\n

              Hostel One Trastevere<\/a> has all the hipster vibes you may expect from a hostel in this part of Rome, with a secret garden and lines of Edison bulbs. It offers free dinners every night, so you can save money for another glass of wine and even meet someone to have it with! As if you needed more convincing, there\u2019s also a pool, and yeah, it\u2019s heated during the winter months.<\/p>\n

              2. Monti \u2013 the best area in Rome for sightseeing<\/b><\/h2>\n

              Monti is where most of the attractions in Rome are found, yet it\u2019s managed to hold on to its local soul without becoming a tourist trap. Travellers love it for its incredible sightseeing (it\u2019s where the Coliseum is!), locals love it for its hipster bars and vintage stores, and backpackers love it because they want both!<\/p>\n

              What to do in Monti<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Monti is home to the most iconic Roman monument: The Coliseum! This incredible amphitheatre was built in 72 B.C. and used to host gladiators fighting lions, and was even filled with water to host ship battles in the centre of Rome! You basically haven’t been to Rome until you’ve seen this, so put it at the top of your itinerary.<\/p>\n

              \ud83d\udcf7\u00a0@annalisati_<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

              Right in front of the Coliseum you\u2019ll find another testimony to Rome\u2019s great history: The Imperial Forums. This archaeological site is made of layers of ruins of buildings that used to serve as the political and social centre of the city. You can catch a glimpse of what Rome used to look like between temples, arches, and columns and walk around a piece of history. From the Forum you can reach the Palatinum, one of the seven hills Rome was built on, and one of the biggest open-air museums in Rome. The best part? It\u2019s completely free!<\/p>\n

              Legend has it that Rome was founded right there by the two twins Romulus and Remus, and that\u2019s just one of the stories that surround this myhtical place. At the base of the hill there was a cave that was home to an order of priests called \u2018Luperci\u2019, who used to wear sheepskin and called themselves wolfmen. The Palatinum was the place to be if you were a big name in the Roman Empire, and it\u2019s where you can see the rest of the emperors\u2019 mansions, called domus. If you ever wanted to trace the steps of Cicero, Augustus or Nero, you should head over here<\/p>\n

              Very close to the Roman Forum is the majestic Piazza Venezia, where the embassy of the Republic of Venice used to be. The grand Vittoriano will leave you breathless, a monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy\u2019s first king. In this marble triumph you\u2019ll find a bunch of museums and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Despite its beauty, this monument has a dark history as Mussolini used it a lot in his fascist propaganda and it was often used as a stage for the dictator\u2019s speeches.<\/p>\n

              Monti isn\u2019t only about history though, as it\u2019s considered one of the chicest places to go out in Rome. Shopping is great between these cobblestone streets, whether you want the classic stores of Via del Corso or the designer names of Via Condotti. Vintage boutiques populate the whole neighbourhood, and you should look for names like King Size, Pifebo, Flamingo or Blue Goose.<\/p>\n

              Places to eat in Monti<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Monti is one of the best neighbourhoods to just walk around and stumble into cute little caf\u00e9s or cocktail bars. Considered the best place in Rome for a glass of wine, head over to the streets twisting around Piazza Suburra after sunset for a stunning experience of Rome by night.<\/p>\n

              Analemma Cafe<\/a> is one of our favourite places, and the hipster d\u00e9cor and cheap prices will steal your heart too. We recommend going there for aperitivo, because for the price of a drink you\u2019ll be able to refill your plate with delicious vegetarian food (including lasagna!) all night long. It\u2019s open all day, so whether you want a cappuccino (customarily before 2pm) or a fancy cocktail, it\u2019s the place to go.<\/p>\n

              Do as the Romans do and stop for a glass of vino<\/em> at Fafiuch\u00e9<\/a>, a small family-run wine bar whose tagline is \u2018Great Wines, Small Kitchen\u2019. If cocktails are more your thing, get ready to feel like a chic revolutionary during the Prohibition era, as Monti is famous for its speakeasy bars. The Race Club<\/a> is hidden behind a mechanic store, whereas The Barber Shop<\/a> is a candle-lit room under what looks like an ordinary barbershop, where cocktails are served in vintage glasses.<\/p>\n

              La Madre<\/a> is the most famous gourmet pizzeria in Monti, and Pizza Trieste<\/a> makes city-famous round pizzas to take away.<\/p>\n

              If you\u2019re a health nut you\u2019ll go crazy for Aromaticus<\/a>, half gardener shop and half restaurant specialising in tartare and filled with fresh herbs and aromatic olive oil. The Avocado Bar<\/a> is a tropical space serving avocado-based dishes that boasts an impressive grass ceiling.<\/p>\n

              Via del Boschetto has the most restaurants per square meter in Rome. We recommend Ai Tre Scalini<\/a>, a small wine bar with a handful of dishes on the menu, Italian wine and an international atmosphere.<\/p>\n

              Best hostels in Monti<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Walking around all day taking in the best views of the Eternal City can be tiring, so you\u2019ll need a good bed to rest your head at the end of a big day of exploring. Luckily, the hostels in Monti are as amazing as the neighbourhood itself.<\/p>\n

              Sandy Hostel<\/a> is an incredible place located in the heart of Rome and super close to the metro station Cavour. It offers dorms and private rooms and its owner, Franco, is famous for his awesome insider tips about Rome.<\/p>\n

              If you\u2019re looking for a true Roman experience, the amazing Hostel Mosaic Central<\/a> is your best bet. Start your day with some fresh fruit and stroll around the villa this hostel is located in. La vita \u00e8 bella<\/em> at Hostel Mosaic Central.<\/p>\n

              The New Generation Hostel Santa Maria Maggiore<\/a> has everything you may need. With an inside garden, an in-house bar and restaurant and a cute brick wall to pose in front of for your Instagram, the only downside is eventually having to leave.<\/p>\n

              The best asset of the Esquilino area is Termini station, located right in the heart of the neighbourhood. This is the most important train and metro station of the city, where you\u2019ll be able to catch both the A and B line to go basically anywhere you want.<\/p>\n

              If Rome is not your only stop in Italy, this is the most convenient neighbourhood to stay in as all the trains to cities like Florence, Milan or Naples depart from here. That being said, as with everywhere in Rome Esquilino is also filled with incredible architecture and mouth-watering food. Plus, Esquilino is only about 20 minutes walking from the historic centre and 5 minutes by metro.<\/p>\n

              What to do in Esquilino<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Esquilino is one of the seven hills Rome was built on and therefore one of the oldest parts of the city. Its history is recorded from B.C. and it\u2019s a melting pot of cultures, plus the home of the hectic Termini Station.<\/p>\n

              In the heart of Esquilino you\u2019ll find Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, the biggest square in Rome. Stroll by the arcades or relax in the beautiful garden filled with statues of nymphs and a magic door to an old alchemist\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

              The Esquilino neighbourhood is Rome\u2019s most multicultural area, which you\u2019ll be able to appreciate at the weekly market, open from Monday to Saturday in the Vittorio Emanuele square. Here you\u2019ll find spices from all over the world, exotic food and funky clothes, just in case you\u2019re craving something spicier than pasta!<\/p>\n

              Rome is filled with incredible churches, and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the seven most important. Filled with masterpieces from iconic artists, it\u2019s even more incredible on the 5th<\/sup> of August when it\u2019s covered in fake snow to re-create a miracle from 358 A.C. If you\u2019re a fan of Michelangelo, you can\u2019t miss the San Pietro in Vincoli Church, where you\u2019ll also be able to admire the massive statue of Moses.<\/p>\n

              Another Italian speciality is the opera, and if you\u2019re interested in the genre you\u2019ll be happy to know that the Rome Opera Theatre is right next to Termini station. In this theatre you\u2019ll be able to see opera or ballet shows\u2026 just be sure to book your tickets in advance and wear something fancy!<\/p>\n

              It may be weird to suggest a station as a place to eat but you\u2019re about to have your mind blown, not to mention that this tip will come in really handy when you\u2019re in a hurry to catch your train on an empty stomach. Right at the centre of Termini station you\u2019ll find the Mercato Centrale, which is the most glorious food hall in the history of food halls. Imagine being able to have a gastronomic tour of Italy just by walking around a room. From the North to the South, from pizza to pasta, from cannoli<\/em> to wine, you\u2019ll find everything you may be craving here and it\u2019ll be out-of-this-world good. Our top pick is not for the faint hearted: the \u2018C\u2019ho Fame\u2019 combo from the Fritto stand. It\u2019s basically six different fried dishes (including the cacio e pepe suppl\u00ec, which you have<\/em> to try) for only \u20ac12. Remember that sharing is caring, and that eating it all by yourself will probably send you to the hospital.<\/p>\n

              Hopefully you\u2019re not over gelato yet, because Gelateria Fassi<\/a> deserves a visit. Order the famous \u2018Sanpietrino\u2019, named after the cobblestone Rome is built from. This little brick of chocolate covered ice-cream has made this gelato shop famous throughout the country.<\/p>\n

              For a quick trip to Sicily without leaving Rome, don\u2019t miss out on a visit to Pasticceria Dagnino<\/a>, where you\u2019ll be able to taste incredible Sicilian treats like cannoli or cassata, a cake made with ricotta cheese and candied fruit.<\/p>\n

              Esquilino\u2019s multicultural soul can be tasted at Vittorio Spezie & Cucina<\/a>. This restaurant and pizza place offers three different rooms, each with its own theme: Oriental, Cuban and Italian, as well as signature drinks. For a cheaper option, Panella<\/a> is a historic bakery established in 1929, known for its carb-heavy aperitivos and affordable prices.<\/p>\n

              If you happen to visit Rome during the summer months you can\u2019t miss the Voodoo Bar<\/a>, an open spaced bar where you\u2019ll get your face painted before sipping an exotic cocktail, all in front of a guy blowing fire on a pair of stilts. You can also sit on a wooden throne, get palm-readings and enjoy all the magical vibes of this quirky place.<\/p>\n

              Hey party people, The Yellow Hostel<\/a> is the answer to your prayers. With a rooftop terrace, a complimentary welcome drink and an in-house escape room (yeah, that\u2019s right!), you won\u2019t get bored here. Pro-tip: pay a visit to this hostel even if you\u2019re not staying here: the parties are that<\/em> good.<\/p>\n

              If you want to live the Italian dream, Hostel Alessandro Palace & Bar<\/a> will steal your heart. Relax in the plant covered terrace before taking part in a beer pong tournament or karaoke night. If that isn\u2019t enough, how about welcome prosecco and free pizza 4 days a week? We know, we should\u2019ve opened with free pizza.<\/p>\n

              4. San Lorenzo \u2013 the best area in Rome for party animals<\/b><\/h2>\n

              Did you know that Rome is home to the biggest university in Europe? Yup, La Sapienza University of Rome is more than 2000 years old and its name translates literally to \u2018Knowledge\u2019. The campus, which is more than 10,000km squared, is located in San Lorenzo, forming a real city within the city.<\/p>\n

              As every backpacker knows, student areas mean cheap prices, lots of young people and most importantly, parties! It\u2019s time to let loose in the Eternal City!<\/p>\n

              What to do in San Lorenzo<\/b><\/h3>\n

              As we said, San Lorenzo is the party neighbourhood. You should note that clubs in Italy don\u2019t start getting busy before 11pm, and parties keep going until 5. Start your night with a beer in Piazza San Lorenzo, get a drink inside the club (that\u2019s usually included in the cover price, which is about \u20ac10) and finish with a fresh cornetto before heading to bed.<\/p>\n

              One of the best clubs in the city is Ex-Dogana, set in an ex-warehouse with huge rooms, high ceilings and an industrial vibe. Here you\u2019ll be able to dance to virtually every genre from techno to EDM, just check on their Facebook page<\/a> to see what DJ is playing.<\/p>\n

              San Lorenzo is the best area in Rome to marvel in awe at some incredible street art. Roman artists take bare walls and turn them into masterpieces, inspired by the Eternal City\u2019s rich history and the current political situation.<\/p>\n

              \ud83d\udcf7\u00a0Chris Barbalis<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

              Get your cultural fix at San Lorenzo Fuori le Mura, one of the seven main churches of Rome. It may not look like much from the outside, but the inside will leave you breathless. Columns, stairs, arches and a mosaic floor are some of the things that make this building one you can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n

              Places to eat in San Lorenzo<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Because of its student population, expect cheap and informal places in San Lorenzo that are nonetheless delicious.<\/p>\n

              Ferrovecchio<\/a> is a hamburger place with an Italian twist. It offers meat from Tuscany and gourmet recipes that use Italian ingredients like fresh salted ricotta cheese, \u2018nduja (spicy salami from the South of Italy) and homemade buns.<\/p>\n

              Said<\/a> is a chocolate-themed restaurant located in an ex-chocolate factory. The industrial vibe and vintage furniture make it the perfect place to try chocolate filled ravioli for the first time.<\/p>\n

              To start off your night, head to one of the many beer places in San Lorenzo. Luppolo 12<\/a> has an impressive selection of craft beers for happy hour prices, and Na Biretta Social Club<\/a> offers aperitivo for \u20ac5. Il Serpente<\/a> is a social hub in the neighbourhood for craft beers and good company.<\/p>\n

              Remember that the best nights in Italy end with a cornetto fresh out of the oven before stumbling home at the same time you usually wake up. At the Cornetteria di San Lorenzo<\/a> a delicious pastry will only set you back 50 cents!<\/p>\n

              What could be an Italian students\u2019 favourite food if not pizza? I Fratelli<\/a> offers a lunch menu for \u20ac8, and you\u2019d get dirty looks at\u00a0Farin\u00e8<\/a> if you tried to eat using cutlery\u2026 that\u2019s what your hands are for!<\/p>\n

              Best hostels in San Lorenzo<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Maybe your bedtime won\u2019t be before 5 am, but you still need a bed! These hostels are great to get some rest\u2026 or to keep the party going!<\/p>\n

              With an in-house chef making a great cacio e pepe, you shouldn\u2019t need any more reasons to choose Roma Scout Center<\/a>. This eco-hostel offers free breakfast (with pastries!) and a 24-hour reception, so you\u2019ll always have someone helping you find your room after one too many drinks.<\/p>\n

              Youth Station Hostel<\/a> is a colourful spot located in the heart of San Lorenzo that will make you feel right at home thanks to its cosy atmosphere and cute caf\u00e8. This hostel was recently renovated, and it\u2019s one of the few places in Rome where you won\u2019t have to pay the City Tax!<\/p>\n

              \"where<\/p>\n

              Rome City Hostel<\/a> offers a variety of private rooms to choose from, free breakfast and an outdoor terrace. Super close to the metro station and to supermarkets, you can\u2019t beat this one for convenience.<\/p>\n

              5. San Giovanni \u2013 the best area in Rome to do as the Romans do<\/b><\/h2>\n

              San Giovanni is a nice area far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still close enough to metro stations to make it a convenient place to stay. Its lush parks and open spaces make it the best neighbourhood for all you nature lovers that may feel a bit overwhelmed by city life. If you\u2019re after an authentic and non-touristy way to experience Rome, look no further!<\/p>\n

              What to do in San Giovanni<\/b><\/h3>\n

              San Giovanni gets its name from the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, the oldest church in all of the western world. This baroque masterpiece is right in front of the tallest obelisk in the world: over 32 metres!<\/p>\n

              \ud83d\udcf7\u00a0@francescatrl<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

              Italy is full of thermal water springs and Romans used to enjoy a cheeky spa session (sans toga) pretty often. In San Giovanni, you\u2019ll be able to admire the Caracalla Terme and all the rooms that used to make up this ancient spa.<\/p>\n

              San Giovanni is one of the greenest areas in Rome and you\u2019ll find locals like to hang out in parks more than in bars after dusk. Go to a supermarket and buy some delicious Italian cheese, a bit of prosciutto and a bottle of wine, and head to a park for a picture-perfect picnic. Villa Celimontana boasts luscious vegetation, ruins and a towering obelisk, and the Aqueduct Park is stunning when the sun sets over the ancient arches.<\/p>\n

              By now you know that pretty much every neighbourhood in Rome is home to an incredible archaeological site. The Tomb of the Scipios in San Giovanni does not disappoint. In this underground wonder you\u2019ll still be able to see seven sarcophagi of the Scipio family, one of the most influential clans in Ancient Rome.<\/p>\n

              If you enjoy a night of drag queens and glitter you should know that San Giovanni Street is Rome\u2019s gay quarter, with incredible clubs and bars to live your rainbow dream. Coming Out and Poppe are two of the most popular among Rome\u2019s LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n

              Places to eat in San Giovanni<\/b><\/h3>\n

              If you\u2019re the kind of backpacker who loves to sit in a coffee shop while filling up their travel journal or writing postcards to friends and family, you might have noticed by now that it\u2019s not so easy to do in Rome. Italian coffee culture is all about the espresso and drinking coffee on the go, or standing at the counter. San Giovanni offers a couple of places where you\u2019ll be able to order a cappuccino and sit for hours, but still for Italian coffee prices – so less than 2\u20ac! Materia<\/a> is an aesthetically gorgeous, plant-covered coffee shop where everything you see is on sale (a great way to rest your feet and buy some souvenirs at the same time!) It doubles as a brunch and lunch spot, before turning into a bar that\u2019s open until 10pm. Anticaf\u00e9<\/a> is an interesting concept from France: you pay for the time you spend there and can eat and drink as much as you want.<\/p>\n

              Tiramis\u00f9 is Italy\u2019s most popular dessert, and for good reason too. Coffee, mascarpone and cocoa are combined to create a treat that\u2019ll leave you wanting more. The name literally translates to \u2018pick-me-up\u2019 and it\u2019s easy to see why! Pompi<\/a> is the best place to get tiramis\u00f9 in Rome, offering the classic version and a bunch of others, like strawberries or banana and chocolate. You\u2019ll find it all over the city, but the first store was opened in San Giovanni!<\/p>\n

              During the Prohibition era, \u201cBlind Pigs\u201d were secret places selling alcohol illegally, and that\u2019s where The Blind Pig<\/a> speakeasy bar gets its name. Quench your thirst with a fancy cocktail, a craft beer or a glass of wine before looking at their mouth-watering menu. Imagine if bread and pizza had a baby, and you topped it with stracciatella cheese (like a creamier mozzarella), Sicilian anchovies and orange powder\u2026 that\u2019s one of the Blind Pig\u2019s gourmet focaccias that make it an unmissable spot in San Giovanni.<\/p>\n

              Best hostels in San Giovanni<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Hostels in San Giovanni keep with the chill, local vibe of the neighbourhood. You\u2019ll find yourself feeling right at home in these places, where relaxation and comfort are the main priority.<\/p>\n

              Hostel Lodi<\/a> seems too good to be true. Located in an art nouveau villa and surrounded by a garden filled with fruit trees, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re in a Dolce & Gabbana ad. All you need now is a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

              Dreaming Rome Hostel<\/a> provides free breakfast and a bunch of discounts for the main attractions in Rome. Chill on the hammock in the inside garden or play games in the exposed brick common room. There you can pin where you\u2019re from on a corkboard, which is a great way to break the ice.<\/p>\n

              6. Prati \u2013 the best area in Rome to touch the sky with a finger<\/b><\/h2>\n

              Prati is a very chic neighbourhood where you\u2019ll find law studios and liberty style buildings. It\u2019s incredibly close to Saint Peter, one of the most beautiful attractions in the Eternal City. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to break the bank to stay in this area though, especially if you follow our tips! Get ready to have the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

              What to do in Prati<\/b><\/h3>\n

              The main reason to stay in this area of Rome is its proximity to the Vatican City and Saint Peter. The Vatican City is actually not part of Italy, but is one of the smallest countries in the world. Don\u2019t worry though, you won\u2019t need your passport to get in! The Saint Peter\u2019s Basilica is one of the main symbols of Rome and you\u2019ll be able to spot its famous dome wherever you are. The square in front is impressive in itself, with over 200 columns and 140 statues.<\/p>\n

              \"where<\/p>\n

              \ud83d\udcf7\u00a0@whatanotherlife<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

              If you can, get inside the basilica and wonder at the triumph of gold and baroque decorations. Every inch of the church is covered in detail, from the floor to the ceiling, and you could easily spend hours trying to admire them all. The basilica is completely free to visit, but you\u2019ll have to pay around \u20ac8 if you want to get to the dome and have the beauty of Rome take your breath away.<\/p>\n

              The Vatican Museum is one of the biggest museum complexes in Italy, and the building itself is stunning, with spiral staircases and frescoed vaults. The collection is incredibly vast (think Louvre big!) and it may take you more than three hours just to take a short tour! The one thing you can\u2019t miss is the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo\u2019s masterpiece with the world-famous Last Judgement fresco: you know, that image of God and Adam touching fingers?<\/p>\n

              \ud83d\udcf7\u00a0@cbriangarcia<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

              Although the proximity to The Vatican City is one of the biggest perks of Prati, the neighbourhood itself deserves a visit. The main square is Piazza Cavour, featuring the impressive white building of the Cassazione, Italy\u2019s courthouse.<\/p>\n

              If you wanted to take a peek at Milan\u2019s cathedral, but couldn\u2019t fit it in your trip, don\u2019t worry! You can find a similar gothic church (though way smaller and less impressive!) in the Sacred Heart of Suffrage Church, right in front of the Tiber.<\/p>\n

              If you\u2019re ready to spend some money, Cola di Rienzo street is one of the main shopping destinations in Italy, offering both high street and luxury stores.<\/p>\n

              Places to eat in Prati<\/b><\/h3>\n

              So, obviously pizza in Rome is great, but if you want to taste something that\u2019s typical of the Eternal City you should try pinsa. The difference is in the dough, which is made with different kinds of flour and more water, making it easier to digest. If you want to try it (and see if you like it better than pizza) head over to Pinsa\u2019Mpo<\/a>, a place that serves more than 20 varieties of pinsa, all delicious.<\/p>\n

              Osteria di Birra del Borgo<\/a> is a local\u2019s favourite, perfect for a nice dinner and good wine. Whether you want pasta, meat or pizza, you\u2019re guaranteed to leave this place feeling satisfied\u2026 and full!<\/p>\n

              To chill on a summer evening, the wine-bar Passaguai<\/a> is your best bet. This underground bar (literally!) serves a great selection of wine that can be accompanied by rich cheese boards or Italian cured meat. Sorpasso<\/a> is its sister restaurant, a bit more hip (think exposed bricks and Edison light bulbs) and with a bigger selection of food. Try the trapizzino, a sandwich with focaccia instead of bread (I know, genius!) that will fill you up for only \u20ac3,50.<\/p>\n

              If you\u2019re bored of pizza and pasta you may enjoy Ted<\/a>, an American-inspired spot selling lobster rolls, fish tacos and burgers. It\u2019s a little on the expensive side, but very yummy and a nice change of taste!<\/p>\n

              Best hostels in Prati<\/b><\/h3>\n

              The hostels in Prati match the chic vibe of the neighbourhood, but at backpacker prices. Enjoy this area incredibly close to Rome\u2019s best attractions, yet not too touristy, by booking one of these great hostels.<\/p>\n

              Colors<\/a>\u2019 best asset is its terrace, and having a buffet breakfast there is the best way to start the day. The rooms are spacious and clean, and you can decide to book a dorm or a private room. This is the perfect place for a luxury hotel experience at a hostel price!<\/p>\n
