Rome attractions guide - Colosseum area (bus 75 from Belvedere apartment)

By just taking bus 75 from Belvedere apartment, you can enjoy one of the most famous monuments in Rome, the Colosseum and Foro Romano area.

The district Celio has a life of its own and it retains this character since ancient Roman republican era, when the Caelian Hill was a fashionable residential district, separate from the rest of the town, though a few yards away from the Forum and all places of interest, exactly like it is now.

This is a newly built park, together with other two ones, older and magnificent, Colle Oppio (Domus Aurea) and Villa Celimontana, which surround the entire area. There are excellent wine bars, pubs and nice shops. You can find lots of things at 1-2 m walk: in Via S. Giovanni in Laterano you have two cash points, at "Pizza Forum" you get a real "original" pizza "the way Neapolitans cook it" (something not so common in Rome and outside Naples), refined connoisseur wine places are everywhere, a pharmacy is in Via Celimontana, a supermarket in Via Annia itself, another one in Via SS. Quattro, 1 minute walk away, three hospitals in the area etc.
