Rome NightlifeRome nightlife still retains some of the smart ethos satirized in Fellini's Dolce Vita. Discos and clubs cover the range of Rome nightlife: there are vast glittering palaces with stunning lights and sound systems, places that are not much more than upmarket bars with music, and other, more down-to-earth places to dance, playing a more interesting selection of music to a younger crowd, with the new centri sociali offering an innovative alternative to the mainstream scene, usually on a "pay what you can" basis. Whichever you prefer, all tend to open and close late. Some charge a heavy entrance fee - though these often include one free drink. The most comprehensive listings of what's going on in Rome nightlife are in the weekly roma c'è booklet, which comes out every Wednesday. It has a short English-language section in the back. Schedules of Rome nightlife events are also published in the daily newspapers, in the Trovaroma Thursday supplement of La Repubblica newspaper, in the Guest in Rome booklet distributed free at many hotel desks, and in fliers available at Azienda di Promozione Turistica di Roma (APT) offices and city tourist and travel information kiosks. A biweekly English-language periodical, Wanted in Rome, available at many newsstands, has good coverage of events in the arts. Rome nightlife consists mainly of late-night cafes, music clubs, and discos. Most Rome nightlife spots except the big discos have a clubby vibe, with a regular clientele. The "in" places, especially the discos, change like the flavor of the month and may fade into oblivion after a brief season of popularity. Many simply change name and stylings from one year to the next. Hubs of after-dark activity are Piazza Navona and the Pantheon area, Trastevere, and Testaccio. The Spanish Steps those who travel into the city.
