Apart from the food, which was amazing, I really don't get the appeal. Yes, parts of the neighbourhood are very pretty, but I honestly couldn't wait to return to Centro Storico. If you're in the area, it is a worthwhile visit, but I wouldn't necessarily make a special trip (unless you're a foodie like me!). We visited Trastevere after taking... More

Spend a day walking the small streets of Trastevere and you won't be disappointed. There is no hustle and bustle just people living their lives and giving you a glimpse of the old world charm of Rome. Don't miss the cookies at Biscottificio Innocenti and the pizza at Dar Poeta!

If you get tired of the tourist packed sights in the classical center of Rome, take a walk through Trastevere. Trastevere is a beautiful local neighborhood that feels a little more like real Rome than some of the main attractions. Stop for a delicious Campari Orange at a cafe that squeezes fresh orange juice (you will know it by its... More

This little neighbourhood was a delight and almost single-handedly reversed my poor first impression of Rome. Whilst still very much on the radar of tourists, you can be spared from the tour group hordes and find refuge in the quaint streets and fun atmosphere. There was a lot going on in terms of live music, casual wine drinking on the... More

Another not to be missed in Rome. I enjoyed walking around the quaint streets with all their side walk cafes, window shopping at the stores.

This was the best area to stay when in Rome -- Very walkable to the tourist areas, but enough away from it so you don't have to "fight the crowds" -- lots of restaurants and shops as well so you will never be bored! When I go back, I'm staying in this area again!

My husband and I just spent our 10 year wedding anniversary in Italy and spent 4 days in Rome. We rented an apartment in Trastevere and were so glad. Within a few minutes walk from our place, there were hundreds of bars, cafes and restaurants.Fun little market for food every day on one of the plazas. Great night life and... More

It was raining, what should we do today, lets have a look at Trastevere. That's about how the conversation went. We really enjoyed the experience. Maybe not the rain but the location, across Isola Tiberina and walking into Trastevere was like walking back 60 or 70 years. The architecture which like Rome is centuries old. The narrow ally ways.
