Habemus Vaticanum! Vatican area of Rome added to the website

The Vatican area of Rome is across the Vittorio Emanuele bridge and just north of Trastevere.

This is an important area of Rome, home to the Vatican City, but also a good spot for those who want to stay in a quieter location on the perimeter of Rome's historic center.

The affiliation of Apartment Franca prompted us to add the Vatican area to the site.

Needless to say this is a very significant area of Rome for pilgrims, theologists, lovers of history and culture and even those who prefer staying in a quieter spot.

Walk across the Vittorio Emanuele bridge and you will be soon approaching Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona. Walk south along the Tiber and you will reach Trastevere.

If you’re interested in visiting the Vatican Museums over a few days you may want to stay nearby. Especially if you’re keen to beat the queues by getting at an ungodly hour (pun intended).

For the record, there is not Vatican neighborhood as such. We have defined this area by proximity to the Vatican City – map readers will be interested to know that our virtual border cuts through official areas such as The Borgo, Prati and the Quartiere Aurelio.
