Staying around Politeama and Via Libertà
The distance north along Via della Libertà matters more than the neighborhood name. A room beside Teatro Politeama gives you a shorter walk to the old center than one near Giardino Inglese. Compare the nearest cross street before booking, and check whether your daily plans point south toward the historic sights or farther north toward the residential streets.
