About Trastevere

Located east of the Tiber River, this neighborhood has maintained its Roman authenticity with its iconic narrow cobbled streets. Home to the working class of ancient Rome, it is a quaint village-like district with a vibrant dazzling nightlife. Filled with countless restaurants, bars, pubs and coffee shops, Trastevere is a beautiful hidden cultural corner of Rome. With the Imperial Age granting immense wealth to Roman elites, it is known that Julius Caesar built a garden villa, the Horti Caesaries, here.
