Neighborhood description

New York has its Greenwich Village, and Rome has its Trastevere (literally, "across the Tiber"). despite galloping gentrification, it remains about the most tightly knit community in Rome. Perfectly picturesque piazzas, tiny winding medieval alleyways, and time-burnished Romanesque houses all cast a frozen-in-time spell, while grand art awaits at Santa Maria in Trastevere, San Francesco a Ripa, and the Villa Farnesina. The neighborhood's greatest attraction, however, is simply its atmosphere—traditional shops set along crooked streets, peaceful during the day and alive with throngs of restaurant- and partygoers at night. From here, a steep hike up stairs and the road to the Gianicolo, Rome’s highest hill, earns you a panoramic view over the whole city. The inhabitants of Trastevere don't even call themselves Romans but Trasteverini, going on to claim that they, not the citizens north of the river, are the true remaining Romans. No matter: a trip to Trastevere still feels a bit like entering a different time and place. Some call it the world's second-smallest nation (after the Vatican, which is number 1). A living chronology, the district remains an enchanting confusion of past and present. Trastevere is an old and charming neighborhood across the Tiber river from central Rome. It may seem far but it's a pretty easy walk back into the center. However, it's not the most convenient place to stay for having easy access to all the sites. Choose Trastevere if you want to feel like you are in a different part of the city from most of the other tourists (although tourists abound here too). There are no metro stops here, but buses and a tram go into the center. However, to get to the innermost of Trastevere's streets, you will need to walk a bit or take a cab. You are in very close walking distance to Campo di Fiori. This is an area of Rome that is made up almost entirely of narrow picturesque streets, very old shops and bakeries, and hidden squares and doorways. The narrow streets of Trastevere buzz with activity day and night because its charms of ivy-tangled walls and crumbling buildings are difficult to resist. Spend one night in Trastevere and you’ll want to spend every night here. What keeps this neighborhood so lively is its mix of locals and students who populate the bars and restaurants both day and night. It’s difficult to imagine a better place to eat dinner or lunch than on one of Trastevere’s busy streets, enjoying the delicious food while watching the never-ending stream of foot traffic.
