Rome is a fantastic place for a holiday. It has plenty of interesting sites, many squares, fountains and parks to be checked during the day, but it also has a great variety of entertainment venues, such as theatres and operas, cinemas and disco clubs near your Rome apartment during the evening and the night. In the city of Rome, the theatrical season lasts from October until May and often goes further through the summer season. There are productions and plays, musicals, staged by the traditional state theatres, but also many private and experimental theatres.

We should also not forget the dance clubs in Rome, which are quite popular entertainment places. There are these 90’s style clubs which are frequented by elegant people, including actors and politicians.

Tourists should know that during the hot summer months, most of the disco clubs are moving to the beaches of Ostia and Fregene and it is there that the party goes on.
Another popular way to spend the night in Rome is to visit a bar or a pub. These places are really popular during the weekend and they come with a great variety. There are outdoor restaurants, cozy bars, beer gardens and pubs. Actually, most of the cafes are open until late. The most popular ones are concentrated in the beautiful neighborhood of Trastevere, near Piazza Navona. Besides them, there are also many wine bars to consider, which offer a relaxing atmosphere and are great places to try some local wines with some snacks. The pubs in Rome have a kind of British atmosphere, and thus there one could have a beer and play a game of darts.
