Moderate - Great value for authentic dining
Trastevere literally means "across the Tiber" - and crossing that river feels like entering a different world. This is Rome as Romans live it: narrow cobblestone alleys draped with laundry, ivy-covered ochre buildings, and piazzas filled with locals rather than tour groups.
The neighborhood has been the working-class heart of Rome for centuries. Today it's evolved into the city's culinary and nightlife epicenter while somehow preserving its authentic character. You'll find grandmothers hanging laundry above trendy wine bars.
Come at golden hour when the setting sun paints everything amber, stay for dinner at a family trattoria, and end the night at a packed piazza bar. This is the Rome you'll remember.
