Monti

Just a short stroll from the Colosseum, Forum and Termini station, Monti is Rome’s hippest neighbourhood. Monti is a local-mainly area, so it’s the perfect place to experience the real Rome that many tourists miss.

If you opt to stay around here, look out for the majestic Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, which was first built in the 5th century and make sure you indulge in a spot of people watching in Piazza Della Madonna dei Monti, which is centred around a pretty Renaissance fountain.
