07/10/2025: Crossing the Tiber towards Trastevere

17/09/2025: Cestius Bridge: A Corner of History in the Heart of Rome During my stroll through Rome, I was fortunate enough to cross the Cestius Bridge and was truly impressed. Walking across this historic bridge, which connects Tiber Island to the Trastevere district, was like stepping back in time. The current structure dates back to the 19th century, but the bridge has much older origins, dating back to 46 BC. It's incredible to think how many generations of Romans have crossed it! As I walked across its three arches, I admired the Tiber River flowing gently beneath me and the splendid view of Tiber Island. What struck me most was the atmosphere: even with cars and motorbikes passing by, you can still enjoy the walk. I chose to visit in the late afternoon, when the sunlight illuminated the bridge and the river, and everything seemed suspended in time. Strolling toward Trastevere, I appreciated how the bridge is a perfect starting point for exploring the neighborhood's narrow streets, filled with quaint restaurants and authentic Roman life. In short, crossing the Ponte Cestio was an experience I highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome. It's more than just a bridge: it's history, architecture, and beauty all in one place.
