The Tiber is one of the most quiet spots in Rome. It has no cosy places or hot restaurant but if you rent a bike for a day it's a great place for a ride alongside the river (also because riding a bike in Rome is not recommended due to no cycle paths and fast,hectic traffic) More

Having taken a walk down the steps for a stroll along the side of the river away from the hustle and bustle of the streets above, i was massivly disapointed at the lack of care and attention given to this part of the city. The smell, Graffiti and general lack of anything made the River Thames seem like a masterpiece.... More

Many European cities are built up along a major river or at least have one dissecting the city. Unfortunately, while there is an endless amount of beautiful, interesting and historically important things to do/see in Rome, the Tiber River is a bit of a slight on the city. Compared to impressive city rivers, like the Seine in Paris or the... More

If you are a rat watcher, you'll have a good time. The "blonde" river is dirty and stinky. But....it's the Tiber!!! More

This river, flanked by tall plane trees and market stands, is beautiful and relatively peaceful and a great place to head to get away from the bustle and traffic of down-town. It is an easy walk from the CBD. More

After the first dinner in Rome, we just wanted to go to the Tiber River to have a we've-been-there kind of short walk. We ended up spending every nights there. Along both side of the riverbanks, it's full of little open-air eateries, shops, entertainment stops. There is even outdoor movie on the Isola Tiberina every night. If you still have... More
