What’s the best area to stay in Rome for first-timers?

Most first-time visitors to Rome love staying near the historic center — especially around Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori, or the Pantheon. These areas offer a charming walkable experience and put you close to all the bucket-list landmarks.



Is it better to stay near the Vatican or the Colosseum in Rome?

Both areas have their perks! The Vatican area is quieter and more residential, while the Colosseum and Monti neighborhoods have a more energetic, ancient-Rome-meets-modern-life vibe. Choose based on the pace and energy you’re looking for.



Are hotels in Rome typically expensive?

Rome offers a wide range of hotel prices. You can find budget-friendly boutique stays, mid-range gems, and lavish luxury spots. Prices rise in spring and fall, but deals can be found if you’re flexible on location or travel in the off-season.



What’s the deal with city taxes at hotels in Rome?

Most hotels in Rome charge a per person, per night city tax (typically €4–€10 depending on the hotel class). It’s usually paid at check-in or check-out and isn’t included in your booking price, so be prepared.



Should I book a Rome hotel in advance?

Yes, especially during peak seasons (April–June and September–October). Rome is a global destination, and the best hotels (especially the design-forward boutiques) can sell out quickly.
