The name Trastevere derives from the Latin words "Trans Tiberem": Beyond the Tiber river. Today Trastevere is the heart of the Roman night life, rich of pubs, restaurants, clubs. The area is highly populated by expatriates and American college students as there are two American universities in the area. - Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere See the golden mosaics in the ceiling. One of the most famous and most visited churches in Rome. It is also widely considered to be one of the first churches in Rome.
- Church of Santa Cecilia Very ornately done and beautiful inside, but don't expect any information in English. All information panels are only in Italian. It's still a beautiful site though even if you don't read Italian.
- Isola Tiberina Located in the middle of the Tiber River (Il Fiume Tevere) that separates Central Rome and Trastevere (among other areas), it boasts both a major hospital, called Fatebenefratelli, and a small synagogue. It also has a café and gelateria on the Rome side. It can be a nice alternative to getting to and from Trastevere if crossing the heavily trafficked Ponte Garibaldi ever gets old. Be sure to get photos from Garibaldi though as Isola Tiberina truly is beautiful.
- Il Gianicolo or Janiculum Hill is, contrary to popular belief, not one of the original seven hills that Rome was founded on. It is among the highest, if not the highest, though and offers incredible panoramic views of the city.
