Centro Storico — Roma
The Neighborhood and How to Get There
How to Get There
BY CAR
We recommend exiting the Grande Raccordo Anulare by following the signs for the city center. Please note that Piazza del Parlamento is located within the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) of the Historic Center: vehicle access is generally prohibited during the hours when the ZTL is in effect. We recommend checking the updated ZTL hours on the City of Rome’s website before setting out and, if possible, leaving your car in an authorized parking lot outside the zone. For precise directions, we suggest using Google Maps.
FROM THE STATION
From Rome’s main train station, Roma Termini, you can reach us quickly by taxi or use public transportation. We recommend checking Google Maps for the most convenient bus route to the Historic Center, as our area is not directly served by the metro.
FROM THE AIRPORT
From Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, you can take the train or bus to Roma Termini, and from there, continue as described above. Alternatively, a taxi or private transfer will take you directly here. Please check the latest schedules and routes online.
For check-in, please contact us upon your arrival: we’ll send you all the detailed instructions. Have a safe trip, and see you soon!
