Rome

Italy

A Rome walking tour is a journey through three thousand years of Western civilization, where ancient ruins, Renaissance churches, and bustling piazzas layer on top of each other in an open-air museum unlike anywhere else on earth. Walking tours in Rome connect the Colosseum, Trastevere, and the Vatican in routes you can follow at your own pace.

Highlights

•The Colosseum and Roman Forum — a 2,000-year-old arena that once seated 50,000 spectators, connected by a walkable archaeological path to the Palatine Hill
•The Pantheon and Piazza Navona — the best-preserved Roman building with its original unreinforced concrete dome, steps from Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers
•Trastevere neighborhood — cobblestone lanes filled with ivy-draped trattorias, street art, and one of Rome's most atmospheric evening walks
•The Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica — the world's largest church and the Sistine Chapel ceiling, reachable via a scenic walk across the Tiber
