5 Neighborhoods in Rome You Have to Visit (Areas Outside the City Center)
As anyone might have guessed by now, I really, really love Rome. Contrary to what people might think, I actually find myself rarely in the center. I am not a huge fan of crowds, and the historic center of Rome can get, as you can imagine, quite crowded, to say the least.
Thankfully, Rome has some amazing neighborhoods outside the city center that are, if you ask me, absolutely worth a visit. If you want to see Rome from a different perspective, or if you find yourself in the city for a longer period of time, these are the must visit neighborhoods for an experience that goes beyond the standard tourist one.
