One of the most overlooked area of Roma is the Tiber river. I was really surprised that I didn't see more river tours or people taking walks along the river banks. The river offers an amazing view of some amazing monuments in Roma like the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano. Fortunately for anyone visiting Roma this summer Tram Tracks has a new tour, River Tracks!
River Tracks has all the fun, food, wine, monuments and rock 'n roll of Tram Tracks but this time it's on a boat in the heart of Roma! The next tour is Monday July 3rd at 6:45pm. Visit rometramtracks.com for more info and tickets. The tour is definitely a must for anyone looking for a unique experience along the Tiber. One of the most captivating sites I saw during the River Tracks tour was the Lungo Il Tevere festival. The Lungo Il Tevere has to be one of the liveliest festival in Roma. The festival takes place along the Tiber starting from Ponte Palatino and going to Ponte Sisto, the festival stretches for more than a kilometer so it won't be hard to find!
The Lungo Il Tevere comes alive during the summer months and goes until September 1st. Shopping stalls selling anything from clothing to little trinkets and souvenirs line the river banks, along with cafes and restaurants this is the perfect place to unwind after a long week. If you love to shop or to people watch then the Lungo Il Tevere should be at the top of your Roma attractions. The options are endless along the river, you can stop by a jewelry stall to buy some authentic Roma souvenirs, there are even dried fruit stalls here! After all the shopping stop by a swanky riverside bar to sip on a Mojito to end the night. Some bars even have TVs showing the World Cup games, what not to like about Lungo Il Tevere?
