The very centre of Rome is divided into distinct districts, with a maze of streets in the 'centro storico' block, alongside the winding River Tiber.

The main thoroughfare in this part of Rome is the Via Nazionale.
Many of the main landmarks and famous monuments lie to the south of central Rome, while the spreading park of Villa Borghese stands to the north.
