We will be taking our 2nd trip to Rome in November. We've seen all of the highlighted tourist attractions, and are looking for recommendations on less touristy neighborhoods for walking & shopping. We love Paris' Marais & Ile St. Louis, and hope to find similar in Rome. Bluntly, where should we go to enjoy the city without vespa traffic and tourists? Thanks.

Josh, <BR> <BR>I think you might enjoy Trastevere, a great neighborhood for strolling around. it's more residential and thus less touristy (at least in parts) than the more central areas of Rome. <BR> <BR>Enjoy the trip- <BR> <BR>

Josh: Yes, Trastevere. I have not been there for some time, but I loved it too. There are nice small and typical restaurants around. If you like "Le Marais" you will like Trastevere as well!
