It wasn\u2019t until the time of Emperor Augustus, that Trastevere was finally and officially brought into the fold of the city of Rome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to being on the other side of the Tiber river, and it\u2019s relative isolation, the neighborhood evolved differently to others. This, plus the ethnic diversity through the Middle Ages, meant that <strong>the people of Trastevere, the <em>Trasteverini<\/em>, had their own identity.<\/strong> Not unlike, say, the way the residents of pre-hipster Brooklyn felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Trastevere1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A vintage Volkswagen Beetle car parked in one of the curved cobbles streets of Travastere in Rome.

Santa Maria, in Trastevere, dates back to the year 340, making it one of the oldest churches in Rome. That said, nowadays a lot of what you can see of the building is from the 12th century and on. <strong>The interior is majestic. The first thing you might notice are the 22 tall granite ionic and Corinthian columns<\/strong> that separate the nave from the aisles. The material was poached from the Baths of Caracalla. The decorative ceiling shows a dramatic depiction of the Assumption of Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For relics fans, the church is the <strong>home of the<\/strong> <strong>Holy Sponge, which was reportedly used to offer Christ some hydration<\/strong> during the Crucifixion. However, across town, the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, also claims to be home to the true Holy Sponge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"839\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Basilica-of-Santa-Maria--839x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Basilica-of-Santa-Maria--839x1024.jpg 839w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Basilica-of-Santa-Maria--600x733.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Basilica-of-Santa-Maria--768x938.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Basilica-of-Santa-Maria-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you love ancient churches, Trastevere is definitely the place for you.

Tram line 8 connects the neighborhood with Piazza Venezia in about 10 to 15 minutes, while several bus routes cross the Tiber from the historic center. If you\u2019re already sightseeing near Campo de\u2019 Fiori or the Jewish Ghetto, it\u2019s also an easy 10 to 15 minute walk across the bridges into Trastevere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_parking_available_if_youre_driving_to_Trastevere\"><\/span>Is parking available if you\u2019re driving to Trastevere?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parking can be challenging in Trastevere, especially in the evening when the area becomes very lively. Many of the streets are narrow or restricted to local traffic (ZTL zones). If you\u2019re driving, it\u2019s usually easier to park in a paid parking garage or outside the historic center and then walk or take public transport into the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_of_day_to_explore_Trastevere\"><\/span>What is the best time of day to explore Trastevere?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trastevere has a completely different atmosphere depending on the time of day. Morning and early afternoon are ideal for sightseeing and visiting churches while the streets are quieter. In the evening, the neighborhood comes alive with locals and visitors heading to restaurants, wine bars, and lively piazzas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Trastevere_expensive_for_restaurants_and_nightlife\"><\/span>Is Trastevere expensive for restaurants and nightlife?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trastevere has options for almost every budget. Casual trattorias\/pizzerias typically charge \u20ac12 &#8211; \u20ac18 for a pasta dish and around \u20ac5 &#8211; \u20ac7 for a glass of wine, while a full dinner with multiple courses might cost \u20ac30 to \u20ac45 per person. Trendier restaurants and cocktail bars can be a bit pricier, especially around the main piazzas, but wandering a few streets away often reveals excellent, more affordable spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1648-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A server in a light blue shirt offers three plates of bruschetta appetizers at an indoor Naples dining event with warm lighting.\" class=\"wp-image-22729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1648-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1648-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1648-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1648-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Devour_Rome_Trastevere_1648.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Enjoy traditional and modern twists on Italian cuisine in Trastevere, it has it all!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re intrigued and want to learn more about Trastevere &#8211; how could you not? &#8211; then sign up for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/rome-tours\/trastevere-gourmet-food-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> a Trastevere Food Tour<\/a> where expert guides not only take you on a deep dive into the history of this fascinating neighborhood but also introduce you to its delicious aperitivo culture.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if you&#8217;d like to learn more about Rome&#8217;s most fascinating sites, take a look at some of our best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/rome-tours\/\">Rome Waking Tours<\/a>.
