Santa Croce is located in the Stazione Termini district, a central and well-connected area of Rome where historic buildings, small ethnic restaurants and local shops coexist. The area, lively at all hours due to its proximity to the railway station, is a convenient base for those arriving in or departing from the capital by train or bus.
Manzoni metro station is just 250 metres away, connecting directly to St. Peter’s Square and the Spanish Steps, the latter about 2.8 km away. Termini station can be reached in about 1 km on foot, while the Colosseum is 1.3 km away, roughly a 15-20 minute walk. Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are 11 km and 20 km away respectively. The Temple of Minerva Medica, 250 metres away, and Porta Maggiore, 400 metres away, are also nearby.
For those visiting Rome, the area allows for walking to some less crowded archaeological sites such as the Domus Aurea (1.2 km) and the Palatine Hill (1.8 km), as well as historic squares such as Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano (650 m). In summer the district is more lively in the evening hours, when local venues open their outdoor tables; in winter the proximity to public transport still makes it easy to reach the historic centre or major museums such as Palazzo Venezia, 2.4 km away.
