Chose Palazzo Olivia apartments for your stay. You can visit Rome’s historic centre on foot and reach the most important sites by public transport.
Rome is a large city! Lodging at Palazzo Olivia will allow you to visit the whole historic centre on foot. To reach other important places, however, you will need some transportation. Our first suggestion is to "do as the Romans do": get a scooter! You can rent it in the nearby Vicolo dei Bovari.
Via dei Leutari is very well connected, as Corso Vittorio is one of the city’s main transport routes. This map shows bus stops. Below we will show methods of transport to reach Rome’s main sights. For other routes, see the excellent ATAC website (Rome’s Public Transport Agency).
