Rome City Breaks at Hotel Amalia Vaticano

It's all Yours to See on Foot

There are two words which best describe Amalia Hotels in Vatican City - location and location. Rome centre is all about siteseeing on foot. You can walk to the Vatican museums in 5 minutes. From Hotel Amalia Vaticano, stroll along Via Germanico and across Via Leone IV to the Vatican Museums entrance where you will find Michealangelo's fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Or walk along Via Ottaviano to the Vatican City in 5 minutes where you can visit St. Peter's Basilica and the tombs of the Popes. You will find Michealangelo's 'Pieta' just inside the Basilica's doors. (Tip: the Vatican Piazza is a magical place to visit at night and the entire area is very safe to walk.)

From the Vatican city walk 10 minutes to Castel Sant-Angelo and then across the Tibre River into the old quarter of Rome. Exploring the old quarter, you will find the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and so much more. On your travels, stop for an Italian gelato and lunch in one of the marvelous piazza's while soaking in the visions of Bernini statues and Roman architecture. It is all yours to see and enjoy.

Move along Via del Corso arriving at Piazza Venezia, Fori Imperiali e the Colosseum. Finish your day with dinner in the very quaint, antique Trastevere Quarter. Trastevere has an original ancient Roman ambience where you will dine outdoors under moonlight and stars lulled by the soft musical strains of Italian violinists. Simply enchanting!

Shopping, Dining and Entertainment

What's On: Rome's galleries, cultural, sporting and entertainment events are nearby. There are numerous events throughout the city that you will want to see during your stay in Roma.
