The Alex Inn exclusive Guest House in the ancient city Rome is located just off the famous Via Veneto – the street name synonymous throughout the world with style, finesse and of course, La Dolce Vita. And life is indeed sweet when you’re able to while away the hours in a street café observing life in the Italian capital.

Via Veneto, as you can see from the interactive map below, is in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance of other famous spots such as the Spanish Steps, the unforgettable Trevi Fountain, Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza del Popolo. If you’re into exploring Rome on foot – and it’s well worth the effort – the Colosseum and Roman forum are a little further afield, while the Vatican city is about 45 minutes to an hour on foot. This 3000-year old city is rather large and it’s impossible to be close to everything, even when you’re on Via Veneto. Thankfully the Alex Inn is also blessed with great accessibility to the other parts of the city via public transport.

Four metro stops will bring you to St Peter’s and the Vatican City; the same number in another direction will bring you to the Colosseum. Buses are also abundant in the centre and offer a more aesthetically pleasing journey. Added to this, attempts to update the ageing underground system have been relentlessly hampered by archaeological discoveries, (as one might have expected) and the result is that the metro system is quite basic.

How to get to the Alex Inn

Public transport links both of the city’s airports with Termini Central Train Station, from here take the metro to Barberini (Line A) and either hail a cab or walk up Via Veneto (which is uphill).

If you choose to walk, you can take a left onto Via Emilia directly from Via Veneto but you’ll have to walk up a short flight of stairs.
