Neighborhoods in Rome

Some of the more interesting Roman neighborhoods are shown on the map.

Trestevere - Once a working class neighborhood in a corner of Rome and pretty much Rome's Left Bank, the shops and artist's haunts are giving way to pizzerias and restaurants. There is still a vibrant night life that attracts visitors, however.

The Jewish Ghetto - a maze of narrow alleyways makes this part of Rome easy to get lost in. While you'll find kosher restaurants and bakeries throughout Rome these days, this is still the place to come to see where it all started.

Testaccio - A neighborhood built around a huge hill consisting of ancient broken amphoras. Once a quiet, working class neighborhood of shops dug out of the amphora hill, the shops are giving way to hot clubs for upwardly mobile youth. The remnants of the old ways of life are still around, so visit it while you can. The cuisine is still heavy on organ meats, just like the "old days."

Via Veneto - Ah, La Dolce Vita! Pricey bars, embassies, and shopping for luxury goods are what you'll find here, along with the tackiness that's creeping in as the beautiful people find better things to do.
