Now that you’re fuelled up and ready to go, you’re in the perfect location to cross back over the Tiber River and visit one of the most famous Italian quartieri in all of Italy! Trastevere. The Basilica di Santa Maria is the oldest Catholic church in the world – and in my opinion, the most gold-plated one too! Once you have had a mosy through this church, ‘fai un giro’ or have a walk around the streets of Trastevere. You’ll appreciate the perfumes wafting out of the trattorias and the gorgeous red and white checked tablecloths that cover the hundreds of outdoor tables. Trastevere is the perfect location to get a take away Aperol Spritz and continue to roam the streets. The Orto Botanico is a sight to behold! Situated on the Universita Della Sapienza campus, this botanical garden is a wonderful green space in the middle of an ancient city. It's lovely to see lots of locals of all ages enjoy this garden and if you're there in the summer time, there will be hundreds of university students enjoying the open space and sunshine, playing cards, volleyball or even on a slack-line between a pair of trees.
