Travel time
0 hours 10 minutesTrastevere
Getting there
You have the option to walk up and along the Tiber again to cross over into Trastevere which would take you around 25 minutes. For time's sake, I would recommend getting a taxi straight to the opening of Trastevere as you will spend the next couple of hours 'gironzolando' the streets of Trastevere, no doubt!

Getting there
As this is the last part of your day, you will need to traverse back to the main part of the city - You would most likely be staying in this area :) Catch a cab, depending on traffic by this time, it should take you around 20 minutes and will save your feet the pain of another couple of kilometres of cobble stones.
