Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Thomas VOakland, CA17,757 contributionsThis is the grandest and the prettiest bridge over the Tiber River, linking 2 important parts of the city. Very photogenic and in the very center of town.Written 26 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Traveling MarioSeoul, South Korea2,646 contributionsThis is a small island in the river Tiber. In the island, there is Basilica di San Bartolomeo all'Isola, that houses the tomb of S. Bartholomew. The church was closed for the summer break when I visited. The island is a nice and peaceful place with cool river breeze.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- foodshunterRome, Italy230 contributionsOutside the tourist circuits of the eternal city.
Stormed by young people of all ages, especially university students.
There are many clubs, bars, pubs and restaurants in the neighboring streets.
To be recommended perhaps midweek to avoid crowds.

The hole in the middle of the bridge is unique to allow pressure release during high water.Written 28 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China175,624 contributionsThere are a handful of bridges crossing the Tiber River including Ponte Vittoria Emanuelle II situated just west of the ancient St. Angelo Bridge. This is a three-arched bridge created in the early 20th-century and is part of a major throughway with fairly heavy road traffic today. It is named after the important 19th-century figure and first King of the Unified Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II (reign 1861-1878).
Pedestrians can walk on both sides of the bridge and enjoy the bronze Winged Victory statues on both ends as well as the dramatic allegorical sculptures situated along the bridge. They are quite attractive to see up close. Note, this is convenient pedestrian bridge crossing for those making way to Vatican City to visit the Museums and St. Peter's. You can return this way to recross the Tiber back to the city centre. Or try St. Angelo Bridge just east of here. It is also a stellar bridge to see up close and cross on foot.Written 23 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The view from under Ponte Umberto was particularly beautiful. The Ponte Umberto arches framed the angel-lined Ponte Sant’Angelo with the Vatican City and St. Peter’s basilica in the background.
Sets of stairs lead down to the river bank at pretty regular intervals so it is easy to access and there is a wide pathway along the river’s edge.Written 11 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The main inscription, which is repeated above each arch, commemorates the builder of the bridge, Lucius Fabricius.
Labelling is in neglect with a lot of scribbling over it which is really sad.Written 23 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mairwen1United Kingdom11,232 contributionsThis ancient bridge is not accessible and only the remains of one arched span is left. Its a strange sight - just a single, a massive arch in the middle of the river. Weeds also spring out of some of the brickwork but you can still see the carved dragons above the arches. It makes for an atmospheric photo.
It’s real name is the Aemilius Bridge but it is nicknamed “Ponte Rotto”, meaning “The Broken Bridge”.
Constructed in 179 B.C. by the consul, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, the bridge survived until the end of the 1500's but severe flooding damaged it badly and strong currents kept hammering away at it.
It’s not the only bridge to have collapsed over the Tiber River.
Ponte Aurelio, constructed by Marcus Aurelius in the 3rd century to link Trastevere to the city, was dodgy enough to earn the nickname Ponte Tremolo (wobbly bridge). It was eventually washed away in the 8th century.
The more substantial Ponte San’ Angelo collapsed under the weight of too many pilgrims in Holy Week, 1450. Hundreds died.
Several attempts were made to resurrect Ponte Rotto and at one time even Michelangelo was brought in to work on it but by 1887, it was replaced by a new and far less attractive, but very functional structure, the Palatine Bridge (Ponte Palatino).
This newer bridge is the best spot to get a good photo of the broken bridge.Written 11 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

To get from the island to Trastevere proper you take the Ponte Cestio built in 24 BC! It's a nice little bridge with churches on both sides.Written 3 November 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David DWexford, PA2,143 contributionsWe crossed this bridge as we headed over to Stadio Olimpica for the Roma game. It is actually quite beautiful and has a neat design. It is pedestrian only, so you don't have worry about cars, or getting out the way of crazy drivers. It is definitely worth a look and a few pictures, if you are in the area.Written 4 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GregCambridge, UK5,217 contributionsWalking towards the Trastvere district of Rome, we passed across Ponte Garibaldi. Great views of the Ospedale on Isola Tiborina can be had as well as the river itself.Written 23 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Manuela LLuxembourg City, Luxembourg6,638 contributionsIt's so nice to walk in Via Giulia and to sea this nice Arc, a bridge to lead to Villa Giulia, a museum, but most often closed, the arc is growed with wild grapes, a very romantic arc.Written 1 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China175,624 contributionsThis is one of the bridges crossing the Tiber and linking the Trastevere with the Historic Centre at Piazza della Bocca della Verita and Palatine Hill to the east. It is an iron structure built by engineer Angelo Vescovali (1886). The bridge is 19 metres wide and 155 metres long spanning four piles.
It is not particularly attractive, just a convenient and functional means of getting from one side of the river to the other. Just to the north you can see the ruins of 2nd-Ponte Emilo ruins and Isola Tiberina. You can use the Ponte Cestio and Ponte Frabricio to cross over Isola Tiberina if looking for a more interesting walk over the Tiber.Written 24 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
