Beyond the Colosseum: Roaming the Ancient Streets of Rome

Strolling Along the Tiber River

Get away from the busy streets and stroll along the lovely Tiber River banks. You’ll be treated to breathtaking views and run into Rome’s famous bridges as you wander around its beaches.

Admire the spectacular Castel Sant’Angelo’s grand statue-adorned Ponte Sant’Angelo, which leads to the graceful arches. To get from the thriving Trastevere area to Rome’s historic center, cross the lovely Ponte Sisto. Each bridge has a distinct history and provides a different view of the city.

Streets of Trastevere

On the western side of the Tiber River, tucked away from the masses, is the beautiful area of Trastevere. Cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and secret squares give Trastevere timeless beauty.

Your senses will be engulfed as you stroll through its eerie streets and take in its genuinely charming personality. Explore the tucked-away chapels buried among the labyrinthine alleys to find notable works of art and architecture.

The beautiful mosaics on the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere serve as a reminder of the area’s lengthy history. Take a minute to pause in the bustling Piazza di Santa Maria and take in the energetic atmosphere as locals and tourists mingle in the outdoor cafes.
