Location & what to see

Presidential Vatican Palace II is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area west of the Vatican that combines period buildings with small neighbourhood shops, away from the tourist traffic of the historic centre. The area is served by several restaurants just steps from the property, such as the restaurant Corner 237 about 100 metres away and Cantina Tralerighe at 200 metres, ideal for an informal dinner after a day of sightseeing.

Valle Aurelia railway and metro station is about 750 metres away, while Baldo degli Ubaldi metro station is at 900 metres: both provide quick connections to the main parts of the city. St. Peter’s Basilica can be reached in about 1.9 km, the Vatican Museums at 1.4 km and St. Peter’s Square at 1.3 km. Rome Fiumicino and Ciampino airports are both about 15 km away, while the historic centre with Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona is about 2.3-2.5 km away.

Guests staying here can spend mornings visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, then stroll through the Vatican Gardens or the nearby Monte Ciocci Park, a green viewpoint less than 1 km away popular with locals for a break from tourism. In the afternoon it’s easy to reach Castel Sant’Angelo on foot or by metro, about 2 km away, or head towards Trastevere and the historic centre for an evening aperitivo. In summer the terraces and bars in the area stay open late, while in winter the Vatican Museums often offer extended hours on certain evenings, a good way to avoid daytime queues.
