Where to Stay in Rome 2026: The Honest Guide to Neighborhoods and Hotels (Centro Storico, Trastevere, Monti, Testaccio, Prati, and a Warning About Termini)
Rome is big, ancient, and badly signposted. The neighborhood where you sleep decides whether the trip is on foot or by taxi, whether you dine next to a Roman or a tour group, and whether the Colosseum is 8 minutes away or 40. This guide breaks down the six neighborhoods that matter — Centro Storico, Trastevere, Monti, Testaccio, Prati, and the Termini zone — with real hotels, dollar price ranges, and what to eat on each corner.

This is the itinerary I wish I'd had before my first trip.
