L' Ephémère In Roma

Lovely place to watch sunset: Old bridge built 2,000 years ago, amazing street. The Ponte Cestio is one of Rome's oldest bridges, peacefully connecting Tiber Island to the Trastevere district. Originally built in the 1st century BC, this magnificent Roman feat of engineering is still used today by locals and visitors alike to cross the Tiber River. It's more than just a bridge; it's a passage between two worlds: the serene and historic charm of Tiber Island and the vibrant streets of Trastevere, filled with cafes, restaurants, and street musicians. Walking across it, especially at sunset, offers one of the most beautiful and tranquil views in Rome, as the golden light reflects off the river and the ancient stones. Entry is free, and the bridge is open 24/7. You can easily reach it on foot from Campo de' Fiori or Piazza Venezia (about a 10-15 minute walk), or by bus along Via Longoteveri.

What can I say... The history that is still standing and speaks to us... The first bridge of my city... after more than 2000 years it is here to remind us of the utility combined with beauty... Something that today, in my opinion, has been lost... A mandatory stop to visit Trastevere on one side and the Roman, Medieval, Baroque and Renaissance world on the other...

A beautiful bridge in Rome, the capital of Italy. It's also attractive at night. A wonderful atmosphere. It connects Tiber Island with the city. A pleasant walk along it. In good weather, there are beautiful views of the river and the city. A perfect place to meet friends. An intriguing story. I recommend it!

There are several bridges crossing the Tiber River at Isola Tiberina including Ponte Cestio which links Trestevere to the island. This was historically a stone bridge dating back to around 46 BC. However, what you see today was reconstructed between 1888-92. What you find today is a three-arched stone bridge used by vehicles and pedestrians. that is picturesque and makes for a pleasant way access to to the island and way to visit Trastevere from the Regola District across the river.

Wonderful place, recommended to visit,

One of Rome's hidden gems: the Ponte Cestio. Imagine strolling through the cobbled streets of Trastevere, the air filled with the aroma of authentic Italian cuisine, when suddenly, you stumble upon this breathtaking Roman bridge. Yes, that's right, the Ponte Cestio—a timeless marvel connecting Isola Tiberina to the bustling heart of Rome. In the world of voiceovers, capturing the imagination of an audience is not unlike capturing the perfect photograph. You’re constantly searching for that 'magical moment,' much like the one you experience when standing on the Ponte Cestio, the soft glow of the sun reflecting off the Tiber River below. It’s a place where stories come alive, and every whisper of history seems to beg for a picture. I find myself irresistibly drawn to this beautiful bridge, camera in hand, ready to seize the perfect shot. It's a snapshot of Rome’s eternal allure, a reminder of the stories we keep our hearts.

A beautiful bridge over the Tiber provides access to Tiber Island for a stroll. The river flows gently, making it ideal for getting off, relaxing, taking lovely photos of both sides, and observing the birds and nature that surround it!

Ponte Cestio is one of the oldest bridges in Rome, quietly connecting Tiber Island to the Trastevere district. Originally built in the 1st century BC, it’s a beautiful piece of Roman engineering that still carries locals and visitors across the Tiber River today. It’s not just a bridge, it’s a passage between two worlds: the calm, historic charm of Tiber Island and the lively streets of trastevere, filled with cafés, restaurants, and street musicians. Walking across it, especially at sunset, gives you one of the most peaceful and scenic views in Rome, the golden light reflecting on the river and ancient stones. There’s no entry fee, and it’s open 24/7. You can reach it easily on foot from Campo de’ Fiori or Piazza Venezia (about a 10–15 minute walk), or by bus along Lungotevere. !! pay attention if you want to eat around here as many places are tourist traps.. If you love photography or quiet evening walks, this is one of those underrated spots that makes you very happy to have visited it.
