Overview
On the western bank of the Tiber, Trastevere is one of Rome's most charming neighborhoods, where cobbled lanes, ivy-clad buildings, and old trattorias create a bohemian feel. The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is among Rome's oldest Marian churches, preserving 12th-century Byzantine mosaics. By night, the squares and alleys fill with outdoor diners and wine bars — this is the heartland of authentic Roman carbonara, cacio e pepe, and saltimbocca. Free to explore. 5-minute walk from Tram 8 Trastevere/Mastai stop.
Opening Hours
