Overview
Borgo is one of Rome's best-kept secrets.
Located between the Vatican and the River Tiber, this beautiful medieval neighborhood combines history, elegance and tranquility. While millions visit St. Peter's Basilica every year, surprisingly few choose to stay in Borgo itself. Wake up within walking distance of the Vatican, enjoy breakfast in a quiet piazza, stroll through cobbled streets lined with cafés and artisan shops, and spend your evenings dining in authentic Roman restaurants away from the busiest tourist crowds. Our suggested itinerary includes 3 nights, but with Trips2 you decide how long you'd like to stay. Add or remove nights, upgrade your hotel, add flights, and watch your price update instantly.
