Rome, Italy
The most central and safe option if you prioritize convenience over authenticity. Constant activity and police presence. Everything costs more here, especially near Piazza Navona. If you value easy access to major sites and don't mind tourist crowds, this works well.
The heart of historic Rome with Baroque architecture and elegant cafes. Very safe with visible police and constant crowds. It's the most expensive and touristy part of Rome, but convenient if you want to be walking distance from major attractions and feel secure at all hours.

Steps from the Colosseum but maintains a local, neighborhood feel. It's safe and stylish with good restaurants and vintage shopping. People dress fashionably here and the area has a more sophisticated vibe than other central neighborhoods.
Consistently rated as one of Rome's safest neighborhoods. The streets are wider and better lit than the historic center. It's more residential and less chaotic, with good restaurants but fewer bars and nightlife options. Popular with families and older travelers.
An upscale, safe area centered on luxury shopping. Expensive and packed with tourists, but the constant crowds and police presence make it secure. Good metro access. The steps themselves are just for photos - sitting on them gets you a €250 fine.
