Explore the beating heart of Rome on an immersive walking experience that delves into the city’s art, architecture and layered past. Beginning on a commanding hilltop overlook, the route reveals sweeping panoramas that set the scene for an atmospheric descent into narrow lanes and bustling squares. Along the way, you will encounter grand Baroque fountains and the dramatic presence of ancient temples with monumental engineering still visible today.
The itinerary moves through lively public spaces shaped by centuries of public life, where sculptures and façades speak of competing artistic ambitions and civic celebration.
