Gay bar in rome trastevere

Gay locals coexist with floods of international gay travelers in Rome, so the eternal city will definitely test your ability to experience local gay life. Rome is quite gay-friendly, but the gay scene can feel more subdued than in other European cities. Overall, Rome is an incredibly memorable destination, both for couples and single travelers.

The Piazza Navona area is one of the best places to stay in Rome. Hotels near Piazza Navona will make it easy to get to many popular attractions while still getting an authentic feel. I loved staying here. Another fabulous option just a few minutes away is Relais Maddalenaan LGBT-friendly hotel popular for incredible service and a rustic boutique feel.

Nightly rates in this stylish yet quaint hotel are usually about half the price of the surrounding accommodations! Apartment rentals around Piazza Navona are just as lovely. I booked a quaint apartment with a small rear terrace during one of my stays in Rome. Being able to embrace the city from a private outdoor area was so relaxing.

Trastevere is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Rome. It has a fun, local vibe where you can experience authentic Roman life.

Where to drink and go out in Trastevere: bars, winebars and clubs

There are loads of restaurants and bars along calmly bustling streets in Trastevere. Abundant public transport here makes traveling anywhere in the city easy, too. A Trastevere da M. E is one of the best gay-friendly hotels in the area that is also super affordable. The property is a 4-room townhouse-style hotel with a modern feel.

I also like Etruska Luxury Trastevere for an amazingly affordable price for how modern, cozy, and fun their rooms are. The mood lighting in the bathrooms is a cool feature! With so many cute and affordable Trastevere apartment rentalstravelers who are more budget-conscious especially like the area. You can always count on great style in these apartments, too.

The Ludovisi neighborhood in Rome also has a local feel, away from tourist crowds. Ludovisi is also where the local gay sauna is, for those seeking such proximity convenience. I stayed in a wonderful large Ludovisi apartment rental the second time I visited Rome and I got such an incredible deal. For less than 40 Euros a night, I actually scored a one-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with a full kitchen and living room overlooking local restaurants.

But, I can tell you that most gay locals tend to live away from the city center, avoiding tourist crowds. You can find them in neighborhoods like LudovisiSalario and Trastevere for example. I caution travelers against staying in the Esquilino neighborhood, which is around the Roma Termini train station.
