Very helpful. Thank you.😊
Sure
Thank you for your advice - as always. We stayed in Esquilino the first (and only - but hopefully not the last) time we went to Rome in 2018 & loved it. I guess it depends on your accommodation - but we had a beautiful Air BNB, kind & helpful host, & felt very safe & comfortable there. Maybe it has changed since then? It was a great walking distance to everything we wanted to do. We appreciate your opinion very much, as you know Rome better that we do. Can't wait to see your next one 🙂
The great thing about Rome is you can have a great trip staying just about anywhere. I am working on a video about Campo de’ Fiori area. Next time give that location a try. Glad to hear you liked your visit.
@@RozierRoma That was actually where I was intending to stay next time. It looks like a great area & so close to everything. Looking forward to seeing your video of it to confirm my choice is a good one 🤩
We stayed in Prati. Its a beautiful, classy, safe neighborhood. We walked everywhere so no biggie.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Prati. For me it is a bit far from center and I’m still scared from my visit there when there was no public transportation operating and I felt a bit stranded
loved staying in Prati - but I love walking LOL I wouldn't want to do it in the summertime! Prati had the best food we eat touring italy and the least amount of tourists vs the most beautiful walks. It was the lowest cost for eating out as well. I wanted to be away from touristy places and just visit them - this worked out great for us.
I average about 16,000 steps a day in Rome. Your next visit I recommend you give Campo Dei Fiori area a try. It would be very interesting to then know your opinion. Thanks for watching and the comment.
We shall be staying in Monti. Thank you for the information you provide
Great choice! Have a wonderful time. If you remember let me know how you liked it.
Great video. I’m curious about where you were while narrating?
It’s a secret
Sad to say I’ll be staying near roma termini station but the reason for that is I have 4 day trips to different cities and I think staying here is an advantage. Great video and keep on giving tips on rome! Thanks!
If you are using Rome as a base to head out to other cities, it does make a lot of sense to stay near the station and a lot easier on you
I stayed in Termini area last year with no problems at all. I’m staying there again this year too.
Thanks for making these wonderful videos. Heading to Rome in a month or so. I found a beautiful Air BnB in Esquilino near Piazza Vittorio. Which seems to be bordering the Monti neighborhood. I hear you saying a little distance away from Termini station makes a big difference (13 min walk to Termini one way, 15 min walk to Colosseum the other way even though Termini seems much closer than Colosseum on the map). I am traveling with my teenage daughter and have slight safety concerns after watching this video regarding Esquilino. When you say seedy…is the neighborhood unsafe to walk at night? I read every review of my Air BnB rental and no one mentioned any safety concerns. Reviews have very very high average on this particular BnB. Is it less safe on one side of Termini station versus the other? I get the feeling Monti is much safer, but it also seems to be so close to where we are staying. Appreciate your advice. I still have time to cancel and find something else if absolutely necessary thanks!
No there are really no safety concerns to worry about. Theft takes place in most area. That is the only real problem. No shootings, stabbing or other violent crime to worry about. Right around the station just too many drifters so to speak. Moving away even a little helps a lot. I once stayed in an airbnb next to Piazza Vittorio and having the metro right there was great. I made a video about the metro and Rome's sites if you want to watch. I think it will help with getting around. here is the video.czcams.com/video/P-jmlQh2lYo/video.htmlsi=9kWCL__N5LVqf9LU
We recently subscribed to your channel and we really appreciate all of the content you have provided your subscirbers.
We are going with our parents of 82 and 81 years old to Rome and we are staying in Hotel Labelle (Via Cavour 310, Rione Monti, 00184 Rome, Italy) on March 19 - 22, 2024. Please answer the following questions:
1. We are planning on getting the 48 hour ROMA pass without the museum for 12.50 Euro. Wondering if its worth getting the 48 hour ROMA pass for 32 Euro. We were considering getting this so that its less walking but also wondering if the Bus comes often.
2. Are the P-Stop accessible if you don't have the ROMA Pass?
3. Based on where we are staying, which place would you recommend for us to eat without it being a tourist trap.
4. Is it safe taking the Bus or walking at night given where we are staying, based on your opinion.
5. Since my parents are 81 and 82 years old, I read that they can get in to the Top attractions for free, is this true, if so what is the process?
Any other advise or recommendation would surely be appreciated.
Personally I think it is best just to use Tap & Go for transportation snd pay as you go tot he attractions. The pass can be a good deal for some people but most overpay and do not use in enough to justify the purchase.
I am not sure what a P stop is?
Lots of good choices to eat out. I recommend using Google Reviews to check before eating anywhere. Always check! You never want to say afterwards I should have checked the reviews!
Overall Rome is a very safe plave to walk around even late at night. The only real problem is pickpockets and they mainly take place on the Metro and crowded busses. Do not tour with your passport on you. Limit cash and cards and pay attention and you should be fine.
Many attractions are free for over 65, just show ID at ticket booth and they will give you the entry tickets.
Have a great time! Scott
Thank you very much for the quick response. Its very helpful in making our decision. Also the P-Stop is information points that has restrooms and if you have the Roma Pass its free to use.@@RozierRoma
Oh got it. throughout Rome you can use any of the bars, they pretty much work as public restrooms.
I will be staying in Monti, right across from Basilica Maggiore. Beautiful boutique hotel, and close to Termini for my trip from airport and to train for cruise. Just use common sense, by not walking around late at night
I am making now a video about Monti that I should have out very soon (1 or 2 days) Monti is great! Safe even late at night. Check out the video it will have lots of good info
We have our first trip to Italy coming up in a couple of months. The hotels were selected by our travel agent and in Rome we are on the side opposite of the train station, about 6 blocks on the other side. Do you have the same concerns for this area as you did in the area you discussed in the video?
Great to hear you are heading to Rome. Rome is a great city and can be enjoyed from just about anywhere. This is my opinion. I am sure your travel agent deals with places all over the world and I am not sure how familiar he is with Rome. As it is your first time to home I think you will enjoy it better being closer to the major sights and not have to rely on taxis, Metro and busses for everything. There are several great areas I would recommend. Monti, Largo Argentina area, Campo dei Fiori area, Trastevere, Piazza Navona area all make a great base to visit Rome. If you want to stay close to the train station as you are using Rome as a base to see other cities I think Monti area is your best bet. If you make changes I know it is a bit of a hassle but it will be worth it. Are you staying in a hotel? Have you considered an Airbnb?
@@RozierRoma Yes, we are staying in a hotel, the Best Western Hotel Artdeco. We will be there for three nights coming in from Naples and then after Rome going to Florence and then Venice. I’m a bit of a “planner” so I have our days fairly well lined up and tickets purchased for most sites we will visit. I just became a little concerned after watching your video as to the safety issue.
Safety is not an issue, it's just a bit far from most of the sites. I like staying closer so I can walk to many things. On a map the location looks much closer to things than it really is. If you do stay there my favorite pizzeria is close by called Pinsere. I really recommend you stay closer to the center but either way I hope you have a great trip!
@@RozierRoma Thanks for the pizzeria recommendation! I've added it to my list and will give it a try!!
I disagree. The Via Cavour area near the Termini is quite nice. And around the Termini itself are buses that go to all other parts of the city. They originate at the Termini.
Sure it is well connected with the metro but I would not say it is an area tht you are excited to spend the moring in or come home to at night. There are much nicer areas. If you want to be close to Termini Monti is far better, I can't beleive everyone doesn't love nocciola gelato!
I have a provisional booking for the Des Epoques Hotel near the porta pina is this to far out
Well the good news is you do end up staying there you are very close to one of the best gelaterias in Rome called Come il Latte and one of my favorite pizzerias called Pinsera. As for your questions yes it is a bit removed from most things. I would not cancel until you secure a better option but if I were you moving closer to the center would be better. Getting something near Largo Argentina or Monti neighborhoods or Campo D'Fiori, even Piazza Navona would be better. Best of luck and have a great trip! One more thing I I am working on a Rome Travel guide. take a look rometravelguida.com. I am offering half price while it is under construction.
@RozierRoma thank you . I am still unsure as if this is still to far away from the attractions I cannot really tell from Google maps .
In my opinion yes, too far. Maps make it look closer than it is.
@RozierRoma thank you have seen a few others now
How is San Giovanni
First time traveller
Depends on what your purpose for being in Rome. If you are there to visit all the sights it not as walkable as I would like. But there is a metro nearby
Please write the names of the places.
Esqualino & Monti
The best museum in Rome is MUSEO NAZIONALE ROMANO.
I’m going to get there eventually!
@@RozierRoma four locations. The best is Palazzo Altemps .
Staying. Not staying at.
Thanks for the comment and watching
