Rome City Guide
Rome is the eternal city — 2,800 years of continuous habitation layered into a single urban fabric, from Imperial-era forums and Renaissance churches to fascist-era boulevards and post-war modernism. The city is divided into 22 historic rioni and 15 modern quartieri, each with distinct character and pricing. Centro Storico — the UNESCO-listed historic core — commands roughly €8,484/m² and the highest international-buyer share. Trastevere, Monti, Prati, and Testaccio anchor the next pricing tier. Across the city, average residential prices reached €3,759/m² in early 2026 (+6% YoY per Investropa), with gross rental yields ranging 3-8% depending on neighbourhood. Italy's national-level Imposta di Registro structure (2% prima casa or 9% non-prima-casa transfer tax) and the renewed 2026 €300K Lump-Sum Tax regime for HNW relocators support continued international buyer demand.
