Bar S. Calisto in Rome

02 Aug, 2019

Hanging out at Rome's Bar S. Calisto is invariably a colourful experience.

The cheap prices at this down-at-heel bar, situated just off Trastevere's main piazza, attract an eclectic mix of students, artists, writers, tourists and local characters.

Due to its popularity it can be difficult to get a table outside in the evening, and after a while the crowd spills out into the square, soaking up the atmosphere and cheap drinks.

At night-time, be prepared to join a long queue for the bar's no-frills toilet facilities.
