After a brief visti to the small Museum of Rome, in Piazza Sant'Egidio, often offering astonishing photo exhibitions, enjoy the small streets walking towards Isola Tiberina.

A lot of pub set their spot on the river and it's possible to sit on large carpets, sofas, big cushions and coloured pads to enjoy your drink - or even dinner – while staring at Rome from an unusual and less famous point of view. Wait for the night the come and, once ready to step out in the nightlife, walk your way to Campo de' Fiori.

This square, dominated by the figure of the philosopher Giordano Bruno, burnt here by Inquisition tribunal for having his own ideas, is a keystone in roman people nightlife. That's the reason why every pub crawling group includes this place in its route and enjoys drinking a lot in one of the pubs facing the square, like The Drunken ship and Sloppy Sam's.
Next to Campo de' Fiori, on your way back to cross the river towards Trastevere again, you should take the chance to see Palazzo Farnese, a prominent high renaissance palace, which currently houses the French Embassy in Italy, and Via Giulia, one of the most pleasant streets in Rome.
