About Rome Nightlife

When it comes to nightlife, there's no shortage of ways you can paint the town red in Rome. Do you think shaking your thang on the dance floor of a discoteca is a fun way to spend the night? Or do you prefer something a little more low-key like enjoying a good glass of Brunello di Montalcino with friends at a local wine bar or a hip aperitivo (Happy Hour) spot in the city? Or Perhaps you prefer a mixture of both worlds: hanging out at a cool bar while listening to some live music where maybe just maybe, if you're in the mood, you can even do a little dancing. Whatever your cup of tea or mojito that is, 10Best has the inside scoop for those looking to get in on Rome's movida.

For some fun, wild and crazy nights, the hub of Rome's nightlife can be found in Testaccio. Practically concentrated all on one street ( Via di Monte Testaccio) is where you'll find a majority of the Eternal City's nightclubs like Akab, L'Alibi and Radio Londra.

For evenings that are a little more laid back, going for an aperitivo is the perfect solution. The Centro Storico has a slew of hip bars that do up aperitivo Dolce Vita style like Salotto 42 and Fluid. So what are you waiting for? It's time to paint the town rosso!
