The central area of Rome is not huge and you can easily walk around the various areas yet your hotel location can also make a big difference to your overall experience in this city. The area around the Colosseum is full with archaeological sites and there is also a metro station closeby. The Centro Storico is a medieval area with winding streets with Rome’s most beautiful fountains, squares, restaurants and bars. Look out for Piazza Navona and Campo dei’ Fiori. For those on a shopping mission, the area next to the Spanish Steps is full of expensive and trendy boutiques, cafe’s and restaurants. Piazza del Popolo and the Fontana di Trevi are located close-by. Although the area near Termini Station has a large number of hotels this areas does not have much charm and we recommend you stay there only if you need easy access out-of-city transport reasons.
All the top localities are within a short distance of each other and are easily accessible by bus or taxi. Most of the large hotels offer shuttle buses for their guests to the various popular destinations. Dubai Marina and Jumeirah beach are at one end and Deira is at the other end.
The area of Dubai Marina and the Palm are considered as New Dubai for any traveler arriving in Dubai for a conference, the main exhibition centre is strategically located between old and new Dubai.
Sheikh Zayed Road is the main arterial road running through Dubai, passing through the middle of everything. In off-peak hours it only takes about 20 minutes between Dubai Marina and Deira.
All the main restaurants are located in the main hotels. Other than nightclubs it is the only place, as a visitor, that one can drink freely.
