"Via del Mattonato"

Trastevere is an ideal area for exploring the historical parts of Rome on foot. Saint Peter is about twenty minutes away and upon crossing the Tiber you get to Campo dei Fiori, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, the Roman Forum, and many other sights, in no time at all (20 to 40 minutes walks). If you want to take buses, the area is extremely well served.

The Trastevere quarter in Rome is extremely popular with both Romans and tourists to Italy. During the day it mostly has the busy look of any small Italian town, with people shopping, chatting, drinking their espresso, and boasting about their children. In the evening it is thronged with people "a passeggio" (walking around) and eating in the many excellent restaurants.

The people living in Trastevere are a mixture of the genuine Romans, some of whose families have lived in the area for centuries (they claim), and Yuppies who have bought and restored Trastevere properties in the last decade or so.
