Where to live in Rome
When considering where to live in Rome, there are several neighborhoods each offering unique living experiences tailored to different lifestyles and preferences:
Prati and Trionfale: These districts are well-connected, close to the Vatican, and offer a diverse array of shopping and dining options. Prati, in particular, is known for its fashion shopping street, Via Cola di Rienzo, and is great for both families and younger expats.
Flaminio and Parioli: Flaminio is vibrant and diverse, with a mix of old and new, including museums and historical landmarks. Parioli is more residential and upscale, known for its posh atmosphere and is more expensive.
San Giovanni: This historic area offers a mix of narrow and larger streets, well-served by public transport. It's close to the city center but finding parking can be challenging.
Ostiense: Known for its street art and history of Rome’s industrial archaeology. It's busy during the day but offers many restaurants and a young vibe at night.
Testaccio: Offers a local vibe with traditional restaurants, a famous food market, and is close to other vibrant districts like Ostiense and Trastevere. It's pleasant to walk around and well-connected by public transport.
EUR: A modern and dynamic district with rationalist architecture, serving as a business hub. It offers entertainment options like shopping centers, cinemas, and restaurants.
Trastevere: Known for its vibrant and colorful atmosphere, narrow cobbled streets, and medieval houses. It's a lively area, especially in the evening, and popular among expats.
Monteverde: Offers green spaces and a slower pace of life, known for its parks like Villa Pamphili. It's a great area for families or those who enjoy outdoor activities.
Centro Storico: The heart of Rome, surrounded by the world’s most famous monuments. Ideal for those who love history and art, though it can be crowded with tourists and housing is expensive.
Aventino: A quiet and picturesque neighborhood close to the city center, known for its cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and medieval churches. It offers tranquility and beautiful views.
Each neighborhood has its unique charm and lifestyle, offering something for everyone from vibrant nightlife and cultural immersion to quiet, residential areas with green spaces.
