Why Go
Trastevere's lanes and little squares are Rome at its most charming, and its restaurants and bars are busy late. At its heart is Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the city's oldest churches, glowing with mosaics from the 12th and 13th centuries.
Climb the Janiculum Hill above it at sunset for a view across the city's domes.
