Trastevere

Brimming with life, Trastevere is a neighbourhood that will have you falling in love. Settled on the other side of the Tiber River, Trastevere is plentiful with authentic trattoria, bars and shops that spill out onto its cobbled streets. After a busy day touring Rome’s sights, this is the perfect evening retreat for an early dinner, late cocktail or watching the many street performers in the lively square of Piazza Santa Maria.

During the day, Trastevere still remains a spectacle and it’s worth catching during daylight hours for its charming streets, terracotta buildings and climbing ivy. The church of Santa Maria dates back to the 3rd century, making this one of the oldest in Rome and its much celebrated golden mosaics are definitely worth a glimpse. Find the perfect seat amid the steps of the Fountain of Piazza Santa Maria and from here, you’ll catch the very best sights of Trastevere.
