🇮🇹 Where to live in Rome
Rome's residential areas range from the Baroque core, where daily life shares space with heavy tourism, to quieter hills and planned districts further out. Between them sit working neighborhoods like Testaccio and San Giovanni, creative pockets such as Pigneto and Ostiense–Garbatella, and formal, leafy districts like Parioli and Prati. Some areas are a few minutes from a metro station, others are not served by one at all.
