Waves in the form of music splash about the "Beach of Roma" (aka the banks of the Tevere). The Tevere's floating stage resounds with a constant flow of entertainment throughout the summer 2006.
Puccini's TOSCA - presented on the floating Tevere stage - all this and with the lights of Castel Sant Angelo in the background. An exhilarating sight to behold and the ultimate romantic evening in Roma - a dinner cruise of the Tevere capped by music under the stars! (OK, maybe stars are seldome seen over Rome)
More photos to come as we attend events.
Tickets range from 5 Euro to 25 Euro depending on the performance - purchase ticket at sidewalk ticket booth. Address: Rome Center side of TevereDirections: Across from Castel Sant' Angelo

You can enjoy a different night dining at the River Cafe aboard the Agrippina Maggiore, the Queen of Battelli di Roma's fleet. The traditional Italian cuisine, the elegant and cordial atmosphere and the background music are all the ingredients for a lovely evening as you view the lights of Roma floating by.

So, don't fight that Ostia traffic - come right here to the banks of the Tiber............
Sand, lounge chairs, umbrellas, 2 swimming pools, cafe, bar - and great view of passing boats -- Castel Sant Angelo in the background! Address: Ponte Sant Angelo

One of the nicest parts of the Tevere-Tiber is for me the part of the river between the Umberto I bridge and the Vittorio Emanuele II bridge. This is the part facing eastwards the Palace of Justice and westwards the bridge leading to the Piazza San Pietro with in the middle the Castel S. Angelo.
Best views are from the river bank called Lungotevere Tor di Nona facing the castle. Around 1400 stood in this area a medieval tower called Torre dell'Annona belonging to the Orsini and used as a pontifical prison.
When a new prison was built Tor di Nona was rebuilt in 1667 as a theatre called Teatro Apollo which the largest lyric theater of Rome. When the embankments (lungoteveri) of the Tiber were built in 1888 the theater disapeared but the name remained.
This part of the river is furthermore enhanced with the most elegant bridge of Rome: Ponte Sant'Angelo. No visitor should miss a walk on this riverbank. Address: Lungotevere Tor di Nona

 Tiber River before dawn, Rome by karenincalifornia
I would usually start out by 5:00 am and walk until the sun was up. I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the city. This is the time at which Rome sleeps.
Is Rome safe for a woman alone in the dark? I did this every morning on my own and each morning walked to different parts of Rome - Campo Dei Fiori, Piazza Navone, Tridente, Via Veneto, Colosseo, Trastevere, and Vaticano. I never saw anything amiss, and I felt just as safe as I do at home in San Francisco (very safe). The key is to look like a tough - like you'll belt anyone who threatens you, and you'll do fine.

It winds its way through the city and makes a nice setting for a break from the site seeing, not to mention a great place ot take some photos!
We had a stroll along the river and enjoyed the views of St Peters in the distance - which is shown in this photo, with Ponte S.Angelo also in shot. Leave a Comment Directions: Winds through the western half of the city.

 My sister posing on the banks
of the river by Jenniflower
It is the second longest river in Italy, winding its way through the bustling city.
This has to be one of the nicest and prettiest routes to walk in Rome.
We started walking form our hotel (near the Piazza Novana), and walked to The Vatican.
This took us 20 minutes, bearing in mind we had a baby with buggy/pram with us too which slows things down.
The trees are beautiful along the river path, the view unspoilt. Leave a Comment Directions: Flows through the centre of Rome

No matter where you are in the centre of Rome, you're never far from some other point of interest. Whichever way you turn as you leave the place you've just been visiting, having lunch in, whatever, is bound to lead you somewhere interesting. Standing in front of the Synagogue after our tour of the ghetto, we had to decide - left, right or straight ahead (behind would have taken us back into the ghetto).
Pretty much straight in front of us, the Ponte Fabricio (the oldest bridge in Rome, dating back to 62BC and still in everyday use) led across to the Isola Tiberia, the tiny island in the middle of the river - but that was where we were meeting a friend the next day, so not that way.
Right, up river, leads around a big bend in the river towards Castel Sant' Angelo; turning left takes you towards the Ponte Palatino and the Forum Boarium which once had a port on the river. Either way, the walk is lovely. The river banks are lined with sycamores and there are paths both at street level or down at river level.
We turned left and strolled along the Lungotavere de Pierleoni until we reached the Ponte Palatino. From this bridge you can see the last remaining pier of Rome's first stone-built bridge, the Ponte Rotto. It dates back to 181BC and was in use until the late 16th century, when storm damage left it in ruins. Ponte Rotto means Broken Bridge. Leave a Comment

 Ponte Rotto, Rome by tompt
In 179 BC the Pons Aemilius (today's Ponte Rotto) was built with stone foundations. In 142 BC stone arches were added, making it the first all-stone brige over the Tiber. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times. Untill it was destroyed by a great flood on Christmas Night of the year 1598. Since then it is an abandonned ruin. Leave a Comment Directions: The Ponte Rotto is next to the Ponte Palatino.
