Where Villa Farnesina Is

Villa Farnesina sits at Via della Lungara 230, in Trastevere, along the Tevere and directly across from Palazzo Corsini. It's in the northern part of the neighborhood, near Porta Settimiana and just steps from the river, in a quiet corner full of charm.

By Tram

The easiest way to reach Trastevere is the tram:

  • Tram 8 — connects Piazza Venezia with Trastevere (Casaletto terminus), with stops close to the neighborhood. From there it's a short walk to Via della Lungara.

It's often the most direct way to reach the area by public transport from the center.

By Bus

Several bus lines serve Trastevere and the Lungotevere. The stops along the river (Lungotevere della Farnesina / Lungotevere Farnesina) are just a few minutes' walk from the villa.

On Foot from the Center

Villa Farnesina is within walking distance of several areas:

  • Trastevere (heart of the neighborhood) — about 8–12 minutes.
  • Vaticano / San Pietro — about 20 minutes along the Tevere.
  • Historic center (Campo de' Fiori) — about 15 minutes across Ponte Sisto.

The route along the river and through the streets of Trastevere makes for a lovely stroll.

By Car and the ZTL

Trastevere falls within a ZTL, and parking is very difficult, especially in the neighborhood's narrow streets. If you arrive in your own car, you'll have to leave it in paid lots farther out. With a private driver (NCC) the problem disappears: he drops you as close to the entrance as possible and handles the transfers and waiting, ideal with luggage, kids, or an airport transfer.

Villa Farnesina pairs perfectly with:

  • Palazzo Corsini (right across the street).
  • A walk through the heart of Trastevere, among its alleys, churches, and squares.
  • Rome's Orto Botanico, just a short distance away.

A private driver keeps the itinerary flowing, especially if you want to combine several stops.
