Vatican Paradise is located in the Prati district, an elegant and orderly residential area just steps from the Vatican walls, quite different from the tourist bustle of the historic center but just as well connected. Via Cola di Rienzo, the shopping street where the property is located, is lined with shops, gelaterias and restaurants popular mainly with locals, with spots like Guttilla Alta Gelateria and Marinella-Pizza su Misura just 50 meters away.
Getting around is easy: the Ottaviano metro station is about 400 meters away, and Lepanto station is 500 meters away, both on line A which leads to the center and to Termini station. St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums are about 650-700 meters on foot, while Castel Sant’Angelo can be reached in 600 meters. The Colosseum is eight metro stops away. For those arriving by plane, Fiumicino Airport is about 17 km away and Ciampino Airport is 15 km away.
The area is ideal for those who want to take their time visiting the Vatican, perhaps booking access to the Vatican Museums in advance, but also for walking to Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori and the Pantheon in about 20-25 minutes along the Tiber. In spring and autumn, the riverside walk between Ponte Sant’Angelo and Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II is particularly pleasant to cross, while in summer the many bars in the area stay open until late.
