The Prati district is situated in west central Rome. It boasts some of the city's major chic shopping streets. This district is dominated by the verdant Monte Mario hill. While Monte Mario is the highest hill in Rome it's not one of the famous seven hills because it lies outside the boundaries of the ancient city. The view is great from the Belevedere Zodiaco. Local sights include the Astronomical Observatory and the Museo Astronomico Copernicano. Even if you don't remember the 1960 Olympics stop by the Olympic Stadium which is part of the Foro Italico, the sports center. You might want to visit the Fontana dei Quiriti without the kids. The district also hosts the Sede della RAI radio and TV center. For your convenience we have listed neighborhood hotels in approximate order of cost, starting with the least expensive.
