In-Depth Information
Rome's clubs cater to most tastes, with DJs spinning everything from lounge and jazz
to house, dancehall and hip hop. The scene is centred on Testaccio (mainstream clubs) and
Ostiense (industrial, warehouse vibe for serious clubbers), although you'll also find places
in Trastevere and the
centro storico
. Out from the centre, San Lorenzo and Pigneto are
happening areas.
You'll need to dress the part for the big clubs, which can be tricky to get into, especially
for groups of men. Events are often listed for 10pm but don't kick off until around 11pm,
while clubs rarely hot up until well after 1am. Drinks are expensive, typically €10 to €16.
Note also that many clubs shut between mid-June and mid-September.
