Historic Center and Jewish Ghetto

Bulging into the Tiber west of Via del Corso, Rome's historic center is the core of the city and one of its most beautiful neighborhoods. Amidst its labyrinthine alleyways and romantic piazzas, you'll come across headline sights such as the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, as well as a whole host of churches crammed with artistic treasures. In fact, pop into almost any church around here and you'll come across a masterpiece or two. The area is made for leisurely strolling and there are many captivating streets to explore, such as Via del Governo Vecchio, a handsome cobbled lane lined with fashion boutiques and vintage shops. Over on the other side of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Via Giulia is another charming strip with its orange trees, private galleries, and discreet luxury hotels. At some point, you'll almost certainly end up in Campo de' Fiori. By day, this buzzing piazza hosts a colorful produce market but at night it transforms into an open-air pub and its bars and cafes fill with hard-drinking tourists and young locals. For a more relaxed drink, search out Sant'Eustachio, a cafe that serves some of the best coffee in town, or Barnum Cafe, a favorite of mine which does great cocktails. Another lively spot is Via del Portico d'Ottavia, the main drag in the atmospheric Jewish Ghetto. This heats up in the evening as crowds of diners flock to its many restaurants and trattorias to sample the city's best Roman-Jewish cuisine.

• Piperno (formal, old-fashioned Ghetto restaurant; authentic Roman-Jewish cuisine)

Vatican and Prati

Whether you're a first time visitor or a seasoned Rome veteran, it's impossible not to be dazzled by the Vatican and its treasures. Technically, the Vatican is a separate country – it has its own army (the Swiss Guards), its own official language (Latin), and its own king (the pope) – but in practice, it's a neighborhood in northwest Rome. The quickest way of reaching it is by metro to Ottaviano, but for a more dramatic approach, walk in via Ponte Sant'Angelo, the monumental bridge that crosses the Tiber by Castel Sant'Angelo. Once you've crossed the bridge, look left and there, at the end of Via della Conciliazione, is St Peter's Basilica. The huge basilica is a thrilling sight from outside but it's even more impressive inside, and it's well worth braving the queues to enter and see the lavish marble interior. If you've got a head for heights, you can also climb the dome and admire the amazing views. Adjoining the Basilica is the Palazzo Apostolico Vaticano, the seat of the pope's official residence and the Vatican Museums. This vast museum complex is laden with world-famous masterpieces, including Michelangelo's legendary Sistine Chapel frescoes. After you've covered the main sights, you've pretty much exhausted the Vatican. At this point, I'd recommend heading over to nearby Prati. An elegant district of straight avenues and upmarket residential blocks, Prati has some great shopping on and around Via Cola di Rienzo, as well as a vast number of restaurants, trattorias and takeaways. These get very busy at lunchtime when the lawyers and media execs who work in the area emerge for a bite to eat. The atmosphere quietens at night, although you'll still find pockets of life. One of these is Alexanderplatz, Rome's most famous jazz club, where big-name Italian and international musicians regularly perform.

• Il Sorpasso (hip restaurant-bar with cool white tiled look; popular with local lunchers)

Ancient Rome and Monti

Wherever you go in Rome you'll come across reminders of the city's ancient past. But the greatest concentration of ruins lies in the area southeast of the historic center. Here you'll find the Colosseum, gleaming after a multi-million euro clean-up, the Forums, and the Palatine, where Romulus and Remus supposedly founded the city in 753 BC. Nearby, the Capitoline Hill is home to one of Rome's top museums, and the mammoth white Vittoriano looms over Piazza Venezia. Once you've checked out these awe-inspiring sights, head down to Monti, a cool enclave sandwiched between Via Cavour and Via Nazionale. In ancient times, Monti was Rome's red-light district but it's far from seedy these days. It's now a favorite haunt of Rome's young, creative set and exudes a laid-back village vibe. Fashionistas come here to shop at the hip boutiques on Via del Boschetto and to bargain hunt at the Mercatino di Monti. This weekend market is a browser's delight with stalls selling everything from objets d'art to second-hand books and vintage clothes. Students and trend-conscious drinkers meet at popular bars such as Fafiuché and Ai Tre Scalini, whilst tourists and in-the-know diners flock to the many excellent restaurants. The center of action is Piazza Madonna dei Monti, but there's also plenty going on around Via Leonina and Via Urbana.

• Trattoria Valentino (classic trattoria; bustling atmosphere; traditional Roman staples)
• Cavour 313 (historic Monti wine bar; huge choice of wine; platters of cheese and cured meats)

Tridente and Trevi Fountain Area

Named after the trident shape formed by the three roads that converge on Piazza del Popolo (Via di Ripetta, Via del Corso and Via del Babuino), this is a posh, touristy part of town. There are several big-hitting sights such as the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, but the main activity here is shopping. The area's upmarket streets are awash with designer boutiques and flagship stores selling everything from top of the range homeware to killer heels and diamond-encrusted watches. If you're in the market for a Prada bag or a Bulgari bracelet, Via dei Condotti is the place to go, but you'll also find plenty of shopping action on Via del Corso and Via del Babuino. In the heart of the district, Piazza di Spagna buzzes throughout the day as tourists mill around the square and footsore visitors rest on the Spanish Steps. To escape the throngs, search out Via Margutta, filmmaker Federico Fellini's former home street which is now lined with art galleries and antique shops. From Piazza di Spagna, it's about a 15-minute walk down to the Trevi Fountain, Rome's largest and most extravagant fountain. There are always crowds here but don't let that put you off. It's an impressive sight and tradition holds that if you throw a coin into the fountain you're sure to return to the Eternal City. As well as sightseeing and shopping, this neighborhood boasts several historic watering holes. There's the Antico Caffè Greco, the one-time haunt of Casanova and Goethe, and the Canova Tadolini, a cafe housed in the former studio of sculptor Antonio Canova. For cocktails and an A-list setting the Bar Stravinskij in the swank Hotel de Russie is hard to beat.

• Dal Bolognese (historic restaurant on Piazza del Popolo; draws a moneyed, good-looking crowd)

Trastevere

With its colorful buildings, picturesque streets and vibrant piazzas, Trastevere is one of Rome's best-looking neighborhoods. In a former life it was a working-class district, but these days it's gone cosmopolitan and it's now home to a multinational crowd of artists, expats, and students from the American St John's University. Entering the neighborhood from Viale di Trastevere, Via Lungaretta leads down to Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, the charming main square and a popular hangout. Fronting onto the piazza, the Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of several historic buildings containing fantastic art treasures. Two others worth searching out are the Chiesa di San Francesco a Ripa, which has a stunning sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Villa Farnese, famous for its Raphael frescoes. The district's medieval alleyways are also a sight in themselves, and it's always enjoyable to stroll around, browsing the small artisan shops and lapping up the bustling local vibe. For a change of pace, head up Via Garibaldi to the Janiculum Hill where you can admire unforgettable views over Rome's higgledy-piggledy rooftops. Trastevere is great to explore by day but it comes into its own at night when it turns into party central. Popular bars such as Freni e Frizioni burst into life and the district's many restaurants, pizzerias and trattorias fill with tourists and Romans out on the town. Things can get pretty hectic, though, especially on hot summer nights when the festive atmosphere lasts well into the small hours.

The Best Hotels in Trastevere

• Hotel Santa Maria • Hotel phone: +39 06 589 4626
• Horti 14 Borgo Trastevere • Hotel phone: +39 06 6880 6289

• Paris in Trastevere (formal old-school restaurant; traditional Roman cooking; charming al fresco terrace)
• Osteria La Gensola (stylish trattoria known for its quality seafood)
• Fatamorgana (fabulous gelateria; classic Italian flavors and original gourmet creations)

Villa Borghese, Barberini, and the Quirinale

Whilst still prime tourist territory, this extensive area is less frenetic than many other parts of town. The crowds are less overbearing and while there are shops to browse, the main draw is Villa Borghese. Once the private estate of a 17th-century prince, Rome's most famous park is a great place to slow down and enjoy a relaxed wander. There are several excellent museums dotted around the greenery, including the awesome Museo e Galleria Borghese. This is one of Rome's best art museums and it's well worth the hassle of having to pre-book your ticket. For wonderful rooftop views head to the Pincio section of the park. From Villa Borghese, Via Vittorio Veneto snakes down the hill back towards the center. This tree-lined boulevard was the epicenter of Rome's dolce vita in the late 1950s and early 60s. And while it no longer pulls in the celebs like it used to, it still looks the part with its five-star hotels and swish pavement restaurants. The area south of Piazza Barberini features some of the city's finest baroque architecture. A spectacular example is Palazzo Barberini, home to the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica. An easy walk away, Palazzo del Quirinale is another striking baroque building. This is the official residence of the Italian President, and visits are by guided tour only. If that doesn't appeal, there are magical views to be had from the piazza outside.

Termini and Around

Centered on Rome's principle transport hub (Stazione Termini), this is not the most attractive part of town. But give it a chance and you'll discover that it has some terrific museums and churches, as well as several cool eateries and bars. Overlooking the bus station on Piazza dei Cinquecento, the Museo Nazionale Romano: Palazzo Massimo alle Terme is one of my favorite museums in Rome. It has some amazing ancient sculptures and a series of sensational Roman mosaics. If you're into mosaics, you'll also enjoy the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and the Basilica di Santa Prassede, a little known church hidden away in a quiet back lane. East of Termini, San Lorenzo is a studenty area full of bars and underground clubs. Another 'in' neighborhood is Pigneto, situated between Via Prenestina and Via Casilina. Once the haunt of filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, this graffiti-clad area was a non-descript suburb until the hipsters moved in and transformed it into a happening nightlife zone. The hub of the action is Via del Pigneto, scene of a lively daily market, but you'll also find bars and restaurants in many of the surrounding streets. Places to try include Co.So, a trendy cocktail bar, and Necci, a historic local hangout.

Testaccio and Ostiense

A little off the tourist radar, Testaccio and environs are well worth exploring. For sightseers, the main draw is the Cimitero Acattolico, a lovingly-maintained cemetery where Romantic poets Keats and Shelley are buried. Overlooking the site, a large 1st-century pyramid makes for an unusual landmark in the midst of the traffic. Uphill from Testaccio, the Aventine is a much sought-after residential district that boasts one of Rome's great curiosities – a perfectly framed view of St Peter's dome through the keyhole of the Priorato dei Cavalieri di Malta. Foodies will love Testaccio. For centuries the area was home to Rome's main slaughterhouse and many of the city's signature dishes were developed by cooks using cheap off-cuts from the butchered carcasses. The graffiti-splayed former abattoir now houses the MACRO contemporary art gallery at the bottom of Via Galvani. Testaccio is also home to a lively covered market and one of Rome's best delis, the fabulous Volpetti. For night owls, the area is a nightlife hotspot and young party-goers swarm to the clubs on Via di Monte Testaccio. Extending south of Testaccio, the former industrial zone of Ostiense is one of Rome's hottest neighborhoods. Some of the city's top clubs are here, set in abandoned factories and warehouses, and a large student population ensures there's always a buzz. You'll also find fashionable foodie outposts such as Porto Fluviale, a vintage-style restaurant and bar complex.
