THE DISTRICT OF POPES AND PILGRIMS

Staying at Velantia Vaticano means discovering Borgo, one of Rome’s most atmospheric and historic districts, just steps from St. Peter’s Basilica. Elegant streets, local charm, and a peaceful rhythm make this area feel both special and welcoming.

As you walk through Borgo Pio and the surrounding lanes, you are immersed in a part of Rome shaped by centuries of pilgrims, traditions, and everyday life. The neighborhood still preserves an authentic character that feels timeless.

Once crossed by travelers along the Via Francigena, Borgo remains a fascinating place to experience the city more intimately, surrounded by beauty, history, and the unmistakable spirit of Rome.
