Like their ancestors, modern Romans cherish their pets. So, it is no wonder that Romans can be seen going about their everyday business with their lovely dogs in tow. Dogs are allowed at most restaurants with outdoor seating and outside most monuments and museums. Be sure to book a stay in a pet-friendly hotel before heading to attractions such as Circus Maximus which is an old Roman chariot racing arena. After that, walk to the intriguing Castel Sant'Angelo. If you’re visiting in the summer, you can also visit the famous Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and, of course, Piazza Navona at night when the ground is cooler for your pets and the monuments are beautifully illuminated. Appia Antica Park’s sprawling grounds are also dog-friendly and worth a visit. For your stay here, scroll down to find the best pet-friendly hotels in Rome, Italy.

Tip from tour guide
Since Hotel Villa Pamphili Roma is within a 25-minute walk of Villa Doria Phampini, consider visiting while you're here. It's a park in the city of Rome which, like many other city parks, originates from the country estate of a noble Roman family. It covers a total area of 184 hectares (454.7 acres) and is one of the best-preserved villas of the 17th century. It's divided into three parts: the palace and gardens (pars urbana), the pine forest (pars fructuaria), and the agricultural estate (pars rustica), offering a good amount of exploration to curious visitors!
