Rome, as you may know, is huge, with lots of different neighborhoods to choose from when you're looking for an accommodation.

So, Where's the Best Place to Stay in Rome? Let's check out some of the best and safest neighborhoods for tourists in Rome.
- Trastevere - Monti
 Fontana di Trevi - Piazza di Spagna - Pantheon - Piazza Navona
This area is perfect for first-time travelers. It's also one of the safest neighborhood for tourists in Rome. Fontana di Trevi - Piazza di Spagna - Pantheon - Piazza Navona are all close to each other, so you can easily walk between them. It has a great vibe and it's safe too. Just remember, places with the most popular attractions, and lots of tourists, tend to be the safest, especially if you're alone and out late at night.
After doing some research on the places I wanted to see, I decided to find a hotel near the Trevi Fountain because I planned to visit there early in the morning. The hotel I stayed at was:

What I liked: The hotel's central location made it incredibly easy to find it. Situated in the perfect area, it was close to all the places I wanted to visit, with many attractions, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance. Plus, it was cheaper compared to the other options I came across. The hotel staff were nice and friendly. The room itself was spacious, comfortable and very clean. I would definitely book it again for my next trip to Rome!

Areas to Avoid
Generally, avoiding booking hotels outside the central areas is a good idea. Tourist locations are the safest because there are always people around, cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby. I would personally stay away from areas that are quieter, isolated, and far away from tourist spots, particularly when traveling alone. Additionally, avoid areas such as Termini, as they're not safe, especially when walking during the night.
