Nighlife in rome - clubs, concerts, discotechs

Rome may be a serious, historical showpiece by day, but at night it becomes one of Europe's most popular music and dance capitals.
Live music, concerts and disc jockeys pump out varied styles of music to suit not only the young, trendy set, but most age groups
and nationalities will be entertained as well. Remember when in Rome... Roman's start late and finish early, early morning that is.
Concerts and live bands don't kick off until about 11pm and most clubs stay open until 4am and this goes on most nights of the
week.

Rome also has a vibrant, gay nightlife, with gay clubs and pubs operating in most districts in Rome. Testaccio is one of Rome's
liveliest night time areas. South of Testaccio off the Via Ostiense in the area around Via Libetta are many clubs and pubs.
