Has anyone recently traveled (2025/2026) on tram #8 from Piazza Venezia to Trastevere? Is the tram the preferred option or is the bus? I will be staying in Rome early May for only 2 nights and wish to visit Santa Maria church plus walk the Trastevere neighborhood. Plus, is the walk over Tiber Island, crossing Ponte Fabricio worth doing? I have been to the top spots in Rome on a previous visit and don’t need to revisit them. Thanks

I was in Rome in December and was excited to see that both the Tram 8 and Tram 3 are now running again. The Tram 8 is a great way to get into to Trastevere. Google search for a map of the stops. Be aware that the trams don’t run on a set schedule. The wait for them sometimes takes many minutes.
