A district across the Tiber, long a working neighbourhood, with narrow lanes, ivy on the walls and small squares. The main sight is the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere with its medieval mosaics, but most visitors come to walk and to eat. It is calmer by day and fills with diners and bar crowds after dark.
What to look for
- The mosaics in Santa Maria in Trastevere
- The square in front of the church and its fountain
- The ivy covered side streets
- Piazza Trilussa by the river
