An old popular quarter and presently also a university district. You will find many
authentic pubs and bars full of local youths. It is 10 mins walk South of Termini station.
Most discos, theatres and cinemas close in August but are replaced by open air
entertainement resorts, like "Sotto le stelle di San Lorenzo" (under the stars
of S. Lorenzo) in a little park in Via Tiburtina. Walk along the segment of the Via
Tiburtina bordering the quarter and you will find it.
