The area around the Termini Railway Station in Rome is vibrant and full of life. Here you really can appreciate the bustling, exciting present of the Eternal City. There are lots of local shops and small eateries – not to mention plenty of traffic – so it can be a bit noisy! Although the hotels in the area vary in quality from the budget, student-orientated property to the very best of 5-stars, in general the area around Termini is better suited to those on a budget. From this area, you can usually walk to most of the visitor attractions Rome has to offer, such as the Coliseum (20 minutes’ walk), the Trevi Fountain (15 minutes’ walk) and the Spanish Steps (up to 30 minutes’ walk).
