Rome through the Eyes of a Local Resident

Jeremy Watson has been living and working in Rome for almost 7 years now and in this article she talks about the non-tourist places in the city, the best restaurants, the unknown gardens and the viewpoints.

Rome is a huge open-air time machine – you never know what’s waiting for you around the next turn in one of the many old streets. One of the oldest cities in the world, Rome is constantly changing, and this change can be seen with each new visit: this year, for example, the bus park has been renewed, many monuments have been restored, many nice summer verandas and art clusters have appeared.

Rome has many historical monuments and they are scattered all over the city. I would advise choosing lodging based on where you want to visit most. For hotels in the area around via dei Coronari, the area around Panteon and piazza Navona, via Giulia, the Trastevere area, the Monti area and via Veneto (you can find the most expensive hotels in Rome), via Cicerone and piazza Farnese. For hotels, everyone has his own preferences and tastes, so it is very difficult to give good advice, but here are a few hotels in a very good location, from which you can walk to the main historical sites in half an hour:

○ C. Luxury Palace & Apartments (Hostel. Nightly rate for 1 person from 1,630 rubles)
Hotel Cilicia (Hotel 3. Price per night for 1 person from 4 140 rubles) Liliumhotel (Hotel 3. Price per night for 1 person from 7 460 rubles)
○ Twentyone Hotel (Hotel 4. Price per night for 1 person from 13,750 rubles) Hotel Indigo (5. Price per night for 1 person from 24 900 rubles)
