Accomodations

Accomodations in private homes are not available. There are thousands of youth hostels, bed and breakfasts and hotels in Rome.

The most central area to stay in is the Via Nazionale area (close to the Termini Train Station). It is close to a synagogue, to the main tourist attractions and to local transportation.

Another great area is the Ghetto Quarter area which is close to the Great Synagogue on the Tiber river.

The Piazza Bologna area is also convenient, there are two synagogues in the area which follow Libyan Jewish ritual, it is next to the B subway line which takes you to Termini in 3 stops and to the Colosseum in 5 stops. There are also some Kosher places in the area as well.
