Walking tours of Rome have not only remained popular despite the number of vehicles but have also gained a second life. There are several reasons for this:

  • They allow you to set your own pace and adjust the route as you go;
  • The route covers several interesting places located nearby;
  • It’s easy to immerse yourself in the atmosphere and flavor of the city, its rhythm of life;
  • Participants can get a better understanding of the sights;
  • Individual tours are fully personalized;
  • Group tours are more flexible and adaptable;
  • The cost of such a tour is lower than that of a bus tour.

Walking tours can range from long sightseeing tours to small themed tours, night tours, or gastronomic tours—whatever suits your preference. This is especially convenient in the center of Rome or in the Vatican, where everything is so close that driving isn’t necessary. After all, Rome, with every building and alley breathing history, is simply made for walking.

It would be a real shame to visit Rome without seeing the Colosseum. Did you know it’s actually called the Flavian Amphitheatre?

You won’t want to miss the Trevi Fountain, the most famous and majestic in Rome. The ancient gods, Pegasi, and tritons in the Baroque style are so masterfully crafted that you could admire them for hours.

The Roman Forum is fascinating for its ancient ruins of temples, arches, and basilicas. Once, trade flourished here, and the most famous orators gave their speeches.

Villa Borghese is a beautifully landscaped park with a lake, a theater, a gallery, and several museums.

The Caracalla Baths, with their marble facades, are a true monument to the art of bathing. In ancient times, these baths were not only a place for hygiene but also for socializing and conducting important business. With luxurious decorations, niches, and mosaics, the baths were considered a wonder of the Eternal City.

The Fountain of the Four Rivers by architect Bernini is the second most popular in the city. The composition allegorically represents the Danube, Nile, Ganges, and La Plata at the base of the obelisk.
