Walk around Trastevere at night
Trastevere by night is a must for those who want to savor the real Roman night. The alleys and narrow streets, the heady scents of traditional trattorias and the elegance of the trendiest clubs create a unique atmosphere where ancient and modern embrace. Let yourself be tempted by the many eateries and savor the typical Roman dishes: pasta cacio e pepe, alla gricia, alla carbonara, all’amatriciana: you won’t be able to do without them. And while you taste the local specialties, let yourself be enveloped by the liveliness of the neighborhood, where laughter, music and conviviality create a unique atmosphere.

See Rome from above: Terrazza del Pincio
If you’re looking for a romantic spot and admire a breathtaking view of Rome, Terrazza del Pincio is the place to be. It is right above Piazza del Popolo and the view of the Eternal City is spectacular, especially at sunset and in the early evening hours. Perfect for a quiet stroll or to take some photos.
Discover the illuminated monuments
Rome is a city that changes its face at night, when its most iconic monuments are illuminated and shine in their majesty. Take a walk along the Lungotevere, admire the Pantheon, the Capitol, and the Trevi Fountain under the light of street lamps. Walking through the historic center during these hours is a unique experience: appreciate the timeless beauty of the city without the crowds you would find during the day.
