Trastevere

The 13th rione (administrative district) of Rome and a labyrinth of narrow streets. Its history dates back to the Etruscan civilisation and the ancient Rome times when Julius Caesar (among other important Romans) had his villa built here. Nowadays, it is a place of rich cultural and social life.

Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere (the central square) is a great place to get a cup of coffee and enjoy the view of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere. Another remarkable piece of architecture in the neighborhood is the Santa Cecilia in Trastevere church.

Trastevere is nowadays best known for its nightlife. There are many pubs and bars where you can head and enjoy yourself after a long day of sightseeing. If hungry, head to one of the many restaurants that are located here. The place is also known as a part of the city that attracts artists and bohemians.
