If you’re serious about seeing the start of the marathon in style, finding a hotel near the Via dei Fori Imperiali is essential.
One of Rome’s most important roads, the area is a goldmine of historical wonders, so you’ll struggle to find accommodation in the immediate vicinity. To make sure you beat the crowd and get a first-rate view of the 2020 marathon, opt for hotels in the city centre itself, just a short stroll from the starting pen.
Rome offers some of the most luxurious accommodations anywhere in Italy, with even basic rooms and budget hotels still offering the chance to relax in style. Once the race itself is over, you’re only a short walk from beautiful squares and streets in the centre of town, offering the perfect place to wine and dine your way through lunch or dinner, or just enjoy the scenery.
Even if you find hotels near the start or finish line fully booked, the marathon course itself meanders through some of the most beautiful landmarks in Rome, including world-famous monuments like the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon.
If you’re priced out of hotels in the more sought after locations, consider opting for accommodation somewhere else along the course to allow you an up-close view of the action, amidst stunning surroundings.
>Find my Rome Hotel near the start or finish line of the marathon
You won’t be surprised to find many hotels and guest accommodation fully booked if you’ve left your planning too late in the game.
Thankfully, if you’re forced to settle on hotels a little further out from the heart of the city, you can rely on Rome’s excellent public transport system to get you about quickly, cheaply and efficiently. The metro system runs throughout the day, offering express connections to some of the city’s most iconic sights and monuments, with easy transfers to outlying suburbs and districts if you’re opting for more rural hotels off the beaten track.
The city also offers an excellent bus system, along with plenty of taxis, rental scooters and bicycles to accommodate those looking for a cheaper, greener and more healthier alternative for travelling about.
