Municipio Roma I

Municipio Roma I feels quintessentially Roman: layered with imperial ruins, grand churches, and pocket-sized viewpoints, yet still lively and walkable. Sightseeing is effortless, with landmarks like the Palatine, Tempio di Marte Ultore, and Santa Maria del Popolo nearby. Expect steady crowds, energetic streets, and strong café-and-restaurant character rather than late-night clubbing.
