Is Trastevere worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Trastevere still earns its price.

Free to wander

By day a postcard of ochre lanes and laundry lines; by night a packed, lively maze of bars and restaurants. It's charming but no secret anymore — the main piazzas are touristy and loud after dark, while the quieter back streets still feel genuinely Roman.
