Feel like a local as you enjoy a city walk along the Tivere, or Tiber River in between exploring different areas of the hip, artistic Trastevere neighborhood of Rome.
1 / 2Starting with a late lunch at one of Anthony Bourdain's favorite restaurant. I encourage you to eat on the patio and watch the world go by with a glass of Italian wine in your hand. Seriously priceless.
The Tagliolini cacao e pepe in a crispy parmigian bowl is heaven on earth!
This gelato shop is worth the 7 minute walk through cobblestone streets for their artisanal gelato with all the classic flavors as well as unique flavors like Avocado, Lime & White Wine and Basil, Walnuts, and Honey.
Get multiple flavors in one "scoop" to try as many flavors as you can!
Get an amazing view of the oldest Roman stone bridge in Rome as you walk across Ponte Palatino.
Take the stairs down to the walking paths along the river (Lungotevere) for a unique, lower-angle perspective of the ruins.
The Fountain of the Tritons (Italian: Fontana dei Tritoni) is a fountain in Piazza Bocca della Verità, in front of the basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
Bocca della Verita is a 1st-century Roman marble mask in Rome believed to bite off the hands of liars. According to popular medieval tradition, if a person puts their hand into the mouth and tells a lie, the stone mouth will slam shut and sever it! It is located in the portico of the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church at Piazza della Bocca della Verità 18.
It is generally open daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM (closing at 5:00 PM in winter). This attraction is very popular so if you want to visit it without waiting longtime, go early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

As an alternative to walking, the #23 Bus can take you from Piazza Bocca della Verità to the Ponte Sisto.
The Basilica was probably the first official place of Christian worship in Rome. The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is generally open daily from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm or 9:00 pm. Modest dress is needed to enter the Basilica
Enjoy exploring the area between Piazza Trilussa (near Ponte Sisto) and Palazzo San Callisto before or after the visit to the Basilica.
San Calisto, warmly referred to as “Il Sanca” among Romans, is a bar located steps from the Piazza di Santa Maria which opens at dawn and shuts its doors at 2am every day of the week except Sunday. A good way to be immersed in Roman culture, watch the world go by, and enjoy a reasonably priced cafe or Aperol Sprtz.
If you don't have time to go before the pasta making class, go afterwards since Il Sanca is open until 2 am most nights!
