Situated in the south of the city, across the river(the name literally means 'on the other side of the Tiber'), Trastevere is full of character with its eclectic boutiques, cobbled streets and medieval houses. The beautiful basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere provides the focal point of this inviting area and is one of the oldest churches in the city, don't miss a trip inside to marvel at the stunning mosaics.
In the evening Trastevere really comes alive with Italians and foreigners alike thanks to its huge selection of bars, pubs and restaurants. The area comes alive with market stalls, musicians and street performers and the narrow alleyways and picturesque piazzas make the perfect backdrop for a glass of wine or delicious dinner.
