Trastevere

One of the oldest and most popular nightlife districts in Rome, Trastevere is the place to go for an evening of barhopping and partying.

The area’s outdoor scene and cozy bars, upscale lounges, and bustling piazzas attract a young professional crowd as well as a small artsy contingent that congregates in and around Piazza San Cosimato.

Although the vibe in Trastevere is usually quiet during the day, there are still plenty of people around who scurry between the hip boutiques and the outdoor cafés.

The area also provides a bit of relief from the heat in the summer, when Trastevere’s riverbanks teem with temporary bars and clubs that become the hot-weather hangout for people of all types and ages.
