Rome
Central Rome is home to the majority of the city’s tourist activity and traveler accommodations. Ancient Rome is home to beautiful plazas, cathedrals and archaic sites which let you get close to awe-inspiring landmarks like the Pantheon, Colosseum and Piazza del Campidoglio. The Modern Center is where several hotels, restaurants and shopping areas are located. Via Veneto is chock-full of high-end hotels and hotspots like the renowned Café de Paris and Harry’s Bar, which were immortalized in the film La Dolce Vita. This area is also home to the Repubblica and Quirinale neighborhoods, which are famous for the beautiful Trevi Fountain and Rome’s National Museum. Vatican City is its own papal city-state within Rome. Between St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the pope himself, there is enough religion, history and art in the 0.44-square-kilometer area to last a lifetime.
The Northern Center is a large area of Rome which many travelers frequent to visit the Villa Borghese, a palatial villa, art gallery and garden. The famed Spanish Steps are also in the northern district. This monumental 138-step staircase, leading from the base of Piazza Trinita dei Monte and its adjoining church, is the longest and widest staircase in Europe. Trastevere, a section of Rome just south of Vatican City and along the west bank of the Tiber River, is full of artist-inspiring plazas and cobbled streets. Considered one of the hubs of Roman nightlife, Trastevere is rich is pubs, clubs and restaurants.
Climate
Rome’s mild climate makes it visit-able year-round; however, spring and autumn are without doubt the best times to visit, with generally sunny skies and mild temperatures. July and August are unpleasantly hot. From December to February there is briskly cold weather, although it’s rarely grey and gloomy.
