💡 Tips

  • This neighborhood is an excellent, quiet base for visiting the Vatican, which is just a short walk downhill.
  • The area is quite hilly; be sure to wear comfortable shoes as you will encounter several stairs and inclines.
  • Use the Appiano or Valle Aurelia local train stations to quickly reach other parts of Rome and avoid street traffic.
  • Dining in this residential area provides much better value and authenticity compared to the immediate vicinity of St. Peter's.
  • Traffic on Viale delle Medaglie d'Oro can get heavy during rush hour, so try to avoid taking the bus during those times.
