Apartments in Rome - The Vatican Guide
The "State of the Vatican City" is the home of the Roman Catholic Church, where the Pope resides. The Vatican is one of the most visited places of worship in the world with more than 25 million devotees coming every year.
The Vatican City is located just across the river Tiber, west of central Rome, walking distance from Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori and linked by the three bridges: Ponte Sant'Angelo, Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II and Ponte Principe Amedeo.
The area surrounding the Vatican is a middle class residential area called Prati. During the day the place thrives with Vatican tourists and local Italians. At night, however, the Vatican is a relatively peaceful corner of Rome. The area around Saint Peters Basilica is called the Borgo. It is the oldest part of the Vatican and, apart from it's great history, it delights with many characteristic trattorie and outdoor cafes.
As you go further north the buildings become newer. The main shopping street of Cola di Rienza stretches from Piazza Risorgimento all the way to the Tiber River near Piazza del Popolo. From the Cola di Rienzo is a broad boulevard with all of Italy's fashion stores represented. There is also a daily fresh food market. There are broad footpaths made of smooth pavement and the area has a more orderly feel than most of the historic centre.
If your main reason for visiting Rome is the Vatican, then this area is perfect, as the accommodation here tends to be slightly less expensive than other parts of Rome. If you have a young family or people prefer daytime activities, then this area is also a great choice.
