Day 01
Night Walk Through Rome's Iconic Landmarks
- Meet your guide at the foot of the renowned Spanish Steps in the heart of Rome's fashion district. Hear a brief history of the steps and the beautiful neighbourhood, once known as the "English Quarter," which has seen everyone from Ernest Hemingway to Lady Gaga stroll through its streets.
- Make your way to what is surely the most recognisable fountain in the world, the Trevi Fountain. You will see the fountain illuminated by modern lighting from under the waterline, which lends the statues an almost ethereal air and leaves many people saying that the fountain is in fact even more beautiful after dark.
- Then head to the Pantheon, one of the most impressive archaeological achievements of all time. Completed in the early second century, it has remained in constant use even to this day.
- Depart for Piazza Navona and soak in some of the best Roman Baroque architecture on offer. Elegant fountains by Bernini meet stately palaces to create one of the most striking views in the city.
- Proceed to Largo di Torre Argentina, which preserves the historic spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated. Interestingly, this site is also a modern-day cat sanctuary, so don't forget to look out for the local kittens playing among the ancient ruins.
- The final stop on the tour is Piazza Venezia and the site of the Vittoriano, also known as the Monument to Victor Emanuel II. This stunningly lit monument has become a symbol of Rome, with its white exterior acting as a shining beacon in the Roman landscape.
