Many of them flock to the grand highlights of the Eternal City, the museums, villas and religious buildings, and discover hidden treasures.
Trastevere is regarded as the village within the city. The 13th rione located between Giancolo and the southern Tiber bend is home to many immigrants and managed to preserve its international atmosphere. Rome’s original character and diversity becomes palpable here. Looking for something more classic?

Ancient Rome becomes palpable between the city’s three hills, where you find the old Roman Forum and the legendary Colosseum.
But that's far from all! Busses and neat pedestrian areas connect the beautiful highlights with one another. Stand in front of the world-famous Fontana di Trevi in no time, marvel at the Spanish Steps, see the Pantheon, stop by the art gallery Galleria Borghese, be enchanted by the Sistine Chapel with the frescoes of Michelangelo, or walk through the magical gardens of Villa Borghese. While you're at it, why not stop and shop in the famousVia del Corso and enjoy divine local food in one of the many great restaurants before returning to one of the many top-notch or budget hotels and accommodations? You’ll find many a great hotel with a view on ZAINOO.
