You will find yourself in the real heart of the city of Rome, more precisely in the oldest "Rione" (district) of the city: Monti. Following the suggestive streets and squares, you will reach in only 5 minutes the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, Venice Square, Trevi Fountain and the museum Palazzo delle Esposizioni. The area is absolutely safe, right in front of the main headquarters of the Bank of Italy and on the same street of Quirinale (the House of the Italian President). Just crossing the main street Via Nazionale you can easily find restaurants, bistrot and cafes of any kind, a great variety that goes from typical Roman restaurants to seafood restaurants and kitchen from all around the world. You will love the excellent pizza and gelato places, pubs (Irish and Italian) and wine shops. Last but not least, supermarkets and markets are just round the corner, as well as clothing stores, typical Italian products shops, souvenirs shops, and by walking only 8-9 minutes you will reach Via del Corso, the main street and area for shopping in Rome. Quick tip: Make sure you don't miss the famous Vintage Market that takes place every weekend in Monti.
