Rome Via Nomentana

V. Nomentana is near the cluster of hostels surrounding Termini, making it a great option for students wanting to venture a bit further. Good bars and discotecas which open and close seasonally are always popping up. Many of the winter clubs close once summer hits and students at Erasmus go home, so bars are generally a more sure-fire option throughout the year.
