Rome neighborhoods

I have a friend who just spent a few days in Rome and she returned delighted but with regret that she could not visit all the neighborhoods, as practically all of them had been studied in order to discover the best of each and thus make a small selection to take the trip better organized.

As you know I write here, he gave me all his notes from before and after the trip so that I could write about the neighborhoods of Rome and so that anyone who wants to travel to this beautiful city can take advantage of this article to have it easier. So, here I leave you a selection of the best neighborhoods in the historic center and what you can find in them:

– Monti neighborhood: Here you can find historical remains of great importance such as the Trajan's Forum, the Forum of Augustus and several palaces and churches of great interest.

– Trevi neighborhood: As its name indicates, here is the famous Trevi Fountain, in addition to other places such as Piazza Quirinale, Piazza Barberini or the Basilica of the Holy Apostle. Miguel Ángel Buonarotti lived in this neighborhood.

– Colonna neighborhood: There are large and spectacular palaces, such as the Chigi or the Montecitorio, in addition to the interesting Column of Marco Aurelio.

– Ponte neighborhood: Italian great masters like Cellini or Borromini lived here and you can see the Church of Santa María de la Pace or the Piazza de Sant Angelo square.

– Parione neighborhood: The highlight is Piazza Navona, where you will find a lot of artisan ice cream parlors that are a real wonder.

– Campitelli neighborhood: It is one of the most visited in the city since you can find the Arch of Titus, the monument of Vespasian, the Roman Forum or the Basilica of Julia and Emilia.

– Ripa neighborhood: If you like cinema and have seen the movie "Holidays in Rome", in this neighborhood you will find Piazza de la Bocca Della Verita, which appeared in the film when Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn put their hands in their mouths. It is also in Circo Massimo.

– Trastevere neighborhood: It is one of the most picturesque and bohemian in the city, with lots of cobbled streets and lots of entertainment at night. Here you find the Porta Portese trail on Sundays, the Corsini Gallery, the Anguillara Tower or the Plaza de Santa María.

– Prati neighborhood: It is to the right of the Tiber, in a residential area that has squares such as Risorgimiento or Quiriti and is very close to the Vatican museums.
