Things To Do Near Trastevere in Rome

For many, Trastevere is considered the last truly Roman neighborhood, but with the past few decades gentrification, it is debatable. However, what remains is the personality of Trastevere, a small country within a city. Divided by Viale Trastevere, the north side is of this small Tiber-bordering neighborhood is vivacious and social. Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere with one of the first churches in Rome is the center of the scene. Just behind the church, on a side alley, is the Museo di Roma, a small museum which captures the last 200 years of the Rome, in particular the Trastevere neighborhood. Foodies rejoice at the decades old Valzani chocolate shop and the Antico Cacciaro, a small delicatessen serving traditional Roman delicacies like fresh ricotta cheese. The neighborhood also boasts a beautiful botanical garden, next to a white collar prison. Head to the south and more quiet side, letting the bell tower from the Church of Santa Cecilia guide you. Here are local restaurants, wine bars, schools and the largest flea market in Europe, Porta Portese.
