Piazzas such as the Navona, Campo de' Fiori offer picturesque settings ideal for a romantic laid-back dining and wining. Many of the hotels in Rome are centered around the historical city centre.
The Vatican: The Vatican is a state on its own. The Papal City State with an endless treasure troves of sights, relics and the world-known Vatican museum. Only a few minutes walk south the Vatican City you will find Trastevere. An array of narrow cobbled streets and lonely plazas served artists like Giorgio de Chirico as the inspiration for their works.
