Do you like to experience the real Rome,  to see an alternative area very close to the city centre?  Bologna/Nomentano is a good choice. This semi-central residential neighborhood immediately outside the north-east part of the ancient walls, may surprise you. Just far enough from the city centre to avoid his chaos, but close enough to have easy and efficient access to Romes most important must-see-sights.  Bologna/Nomentano prides itself on leafy green spaces like Villa Torlonia and a very friendly and quiet atmosphere.

Bologna/Nometana Must Sees

Villa Torlonia, the smallest of Roman parks, and once Mussolini’s residence, currently encloses a refined restaurant, three museums, playground, children’s technological museum, Jewish catacombs, and carefully landscaped grounds.

The Early Christian monumental complex of S.Agnese and Santa Costanza: catacombs, stunning mosaics and archeological excavations make for a fascinating visit.
