Rome at night

Rome is a great city to walk around at night. Most of the large piazzas are filled with happy and relaxed people just hanging around and enjoying street entertainers. Televisions are set in the smaller piazzas for fans to watch soccer games. And on weekend nights, the banks of the Tiber River are filled with thousands of people in a carnival atmosphere. Outside bars and restaurants are filled and the streets feel very safe. Here are a few photos of Rome's street life at night.

Restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops line the banks of the Tiber River and the island of Isola.

Tons of people fill the banks of the Tiber River.

An interesting modern sculpture.

Thousands of people are outside enjoying the evening in the streets, piazzas, or just watching the crowd while sitting on a monument.
