Trastevere is a pretty Roman neighbourhood contiguous to the River Tiber (tras Tevere = across the Tiber). Stroll through charming old-fashioned cobblestone streets or enjoy an appetising meal in an intimate open restaurant. The Piazzi di Santa Maria is a popular landmark in Trastevere. There’s a basilica here with a lovely fountain near it where people can relax.
In Trastevere, you can enjoy an authentic Italian vibe. It also offers excellent nightlife if you want to go bar-hopping. On Sunday mornings, you can shop in Rome’s famous flea market at the Porta Portese.
Villa Farnesina is a fantastic 16th-century palazzo housing works by Raphael and Peruzzi with well-maintained gardens. There’s another basilica dedicated to Saint Cecilia, with intricate frescoes designed by Pietro Cavallini. Treat yourself to a rich Italian gelato while enjoying Trastevere’s relaxed atmosphere.
