Walking Tours to discover Rome
Walk a Short Mile to the Heart of Rome
First up, we have a lovely short walk that's perfect for those who want to soak up Rome's essence without wearing their feet out. It is a 3-km (1.86-mile) stroll that takes roughly an hour to complete. Starting at the historic Capitoline Hill, you'll descend to the mesmerizing ruins of the Roman Forum. The weight of centuries will settle on your shoulders, but fear not! It’s the good kind of pressure; the awe-inspiring, goosebumps-inducing kind. Next, we wander over to the Colosseum - the superstar of Rome, where you can just imagine gladiators roaring for freedom. Who knew history could give you an adrenaline rush?
A Medium Jaunt to Rome's Renaissance Jewels
Our medium-length option is a 5-km (3.1-mile) route centred on the Renaissance period, which should take around three hours. Starting at Campo de’ Fiori, famed for its vibrant market, you'll move on to the splendid Piazza Navona. Can we just pause to appreciate Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers here? Breathtaking. Afterwards, glide over to the Pantheon and whisper a "wow" under its massive dome. Your finale is a slow climb to the Spanish Steps. It’s an uphill battle, but the view from the top? Che bella vista!
A Long, Leisurely Stroll in Eternal Rome
Finally, for the most committed urban explorers out there, we propose a long, 10-km (6.2-mile) trek that should take you around 5 hours. You'll start with the glorious Vatican City compound. Cast your gaze upon the Sistine Chapel, home to Michelangelo’s legendary ‘Creation of Adam’. How did he even paint that high up? I get dizzy just thinking about it. Leaving Vatican City, you'll peek inside Castel Sant'Angelo before marching through Piazza del Popolo, where Rome unfurls in all its enchanting chaos. Finally, take a leisurely saunter along the Tiber River, a peaceful haven away from Rome's bustling avenues. By the end, no stone will be left unturned, no tale left untold in this Eternal City.
