The Rome IndexTridente
The Spanish Steps, Via del Corso and Rome's grand shopping streets, named for the three streets fanning out from Piazza del Popolo.
Why stay here
Central, elegant, and built around Rome's main shopping district — a good base if browsing and people-watching matter as much as sightseeing.
Who it suits
Travelers who want a polished, well-connected base without the narrowest, most crowded lanes of Centro Storico.
What to know
Hotel and restaurant prices run high here, reflecting the area's reputation as one of the city's most fashionable.
