    There are three streets that diverge from the Piazza del Popolo, and these form the Tridente. Stay here if you want to experience Rome as a shopping mecca.

    Stay near Campo de' Fiori if you want to experience la dolce vita. By day, this piazza is a farmers' market, so you can sample fresh produce and regional specialities.

Expert tip

Never accept the help of the people waiting inside airports and railway terminals offering you taxis; they are illegal operators and will charge through the nose. Go to the regulated taxi ranks - they have set fares for destinations and are strictly regulated to prevent them from charging too much.
