Top ways to experience Trastevere
The area
Neighbourhood: Trastevere
Trastevere ("beyond the Tiber") is like a faded postcard, a little worn around the edges but still charming. With its wide-open piazzas, meandering streets, weathered Renaissance buildings, and overgrown personality, it's become an irresistible mecca for visitors. Trastevere is an enclave of entertainment - a rotating set of street performers entertains almost every night, and unforgettable eateries and bars pepper its piazzas and side streets. For a trip to the past, visit the southern and western flanks of Trastevere for pockets of yesteryear, less traversed areas with a residual 1960s and 70s Roman vibe.

This area is so lovely, beautiful houses and lots of little restaurants. We would recommend Tonnarello. Lovely area to walk around in the evening.

I stayed in this neighborhood in an apartment with my family during our visit in Rome. The place is safe even during evening in the central zone. There is a lot of nightlife and cafés but in this neighborhood there are also some of the best places to eat typical Roman food

If you are looking for a romantic area with little windy streets and enchanting sidewalk cafes, this is it. Once you get into the center, Trastevere becomes a little village you will willingly get lost in. There is a certain grittiness to the area but it is greatly balanced, in my opinion, by the charm and the sense of intimacy.

My first time to stay in this area - would never stay anywhere else now. So vibrant, lots of happy people, amazing food…….could go on for pages. However, my recommendation is to try this neighbourhood out - you will return.

"so you must go to the Trastevere" might be the most average advice that someone can give you. The streets are not so charming as one would think, it's a place for tourists again.

I found this little gem of Rome on accident and am so glad we explored it in the evening time! Super cute and busy with nightlife.

Lot more trees, nice and quiet, so different than central Rome but I wouldn't say it's a must. The food is excellent like anywhere else in Rome.

I think everybody should go there for at least a walk. It's different. The streets are narrower, there are more plants and the overall vibe is somehow different.

Me and my gf had the pasta, pretty good stuff. Focaccia was great too. The waiter named PIERO was excellent at his job 💯. Highly recommended

I need to get to Trastevere late at night from Fiumicino. My flight arrives at 11:45 p.m. What transport can I take if I don't want to take a taxi? I understand that the trains and buses that are there during the day do not provide service during the night. Thanks!

At the hour of the night, your best bet would be to get your hotel to arrange to get a taxi to pick you up at Fiumicino Airport. I got a great tax from my hotel to Fiumicino for €48. Getting to Trastevere during the day is difficult. Late at night you can forget public transport. Take a taxi is your only option, but book in advance with your hotel to avoid being ripped off.

Consiglio di prendere via Garibaldi e salire a San Pietro in Montorio, luogo della crocifissione di San Pietro, e appena sotto si può vedere la fontana dell'acqua Paola.
Hola! Vamos a Roma a finales de enero y queremos alojarnos en el Trastevere, pero en una calle tranquila, sin mucho ruido ni un bar justo debajo del apartamento! Donde os alojasteis vosotros?? Muchas gracias,!

Hola. Nosotros nos alojamos en la zona de Termini, a unas cuadras de la estación de trenes, es más económico que la parte céntrica. A trastevere solamente fuimos a pasear durante el día. Saludos.

Hi, my friend and I are going to Rome for the first time in March and have decided to do a Air BNB in the Trastevere area for most of the trip. Is there a particular part of Trastevere you would recommend to stay at, and if so for what reason. Thank you all in advance, so excited for our trip.

Hello if you love drinking you will love this neighborhood
La piazza where the church is very nice and the church is impressive
Lots of small restaurants and bar
We went around lunch time but at night it would be even better
Enjoy your stay there

Todo Roma merece la pena, a cada paso es un nuevo Museo.
Do you think a walking tour is necessary of this area/worth it or is it something you can do self guided?

I think a self guided tour is a great way to experience Trastevere if you do some research in advance. A simple search of “things to do in Trastevere” or “top places to eat” will yield a lot of information then you can focus on the spots that interest you. For me, I like to have a starting point and then give myself the freedom to explore and see what happens.
But if you’re a person that likes to know your exact itinerary and you prefer not to spend energy and time researching things, then a walking tour may be the best option.

¿Qué opción es más recomendable para ir desde el aeropuerto de Roma Ciampino hasta el barrio de Trastevere? He leído muy malas críticas de la empresa Terravision..

Sarei interessato a sapere i personaggi più importanti (artisti, poeti, scrittori, artigiani, attori, registi, etc.) di Trastevere. Grazie
Io ammiro molto gli "osti" ......alcuni eccezionali (sia come trattori che come umanità).

היי אנחנו נסענו באוטובוס. פתרון יעיל נגיש וזול כדאי להגיע לשם בתחבורה מכייון שזה יחסית רחוק. אם תחצו את הגשר לצד השני ישנו הרובע היהודי
