If you are in Rome, visiting Trastevere is a must... Whether you are on holiday or just on a day tour. Let's discover together all that this magnificent district has to offer! Trastevere is undoubtedly one of the most famous and important neighbourhoods in Rome. If you are in the capital of Italy, you certainly cannot escape a more or less in-depth visit of this symbolic Roman quarter. Trastevere is part of Rome's thirteenth district and here everything will make you think you have gone back in time. In fact, the urbanistic style has remained intact and faithful to that of decades long gone by. The narrow streets, of which Trastevere is composed, are dotted with many small squares dating back to periods before and after interventions in the area. Its name derives from the Latin term “trans Tiberim”, meaning, “on the other side of the Tiber”, the well-known river that crosses the capital, precisely splitting this place beloved by Romans and tourists from all over the world in half.
