- Where to look
- Many of Rome's most popular bars are found in the Centro Storico, Trastevere, Monti, Prati near the Vatican and Testaccio.
- When to go
- April to June and September to October are ideal; August is hot and some places close.
- Prices & tipping
- Prices are in euros; a small cover charge (coperto) is common and tipping is modest.
- Getting around
- The historic centre is best on foot, with buses, trams and two metro lines for longer trips.
