Römerberg is a lively, historic market square situated in the heart of Frankfurt’s Altstadt (Old Town) 🌆.

To get to the Trastevere neighborhood, we crossed To get to the Trastevere neighborhood, we crossed through Tiber Island, another somewhat hidden gem in Rome 💎.
.
Tiber Island is a small, boat-shaped island that sits on the southern bend of the Tiber River 🗾.
.
The island is associated with medicine & healing, as it was once the seat of the ancient temple of Asclepius & later a hospital ❤️‍🩹.
.
There are several things to see during the day like:
.
🌉 The island’s various bridges
🏛️ The Infamous Column
⛪️ Church of San Bartolomeo Apostolo
🏥 Tiber Island Hospital
🏰 Torre della Pulzella 
.
But, the island really comes alive in the evenings, especially in the summer, when rows of pop-up bars fill the riverbanks 🍻, live music fills the air 🎶 & an outdoor cinema entertains locals & tourists alike 📽️.
.
There are also many yummy restaurants on the island that are open year-round 😋.
