Posted by jyotishah on September 7th, 2022

Rome or as the Italians call it Roma, is the capital of Italy with a population of 2.8 million Romans. The city was founded on seven hills: Palatine Hill, Aventine Hill, Capitoline Hill, Caelian Hill, Esquiline Hill, Quirinal Hill, and Viminal Hill, located on the banks of the Tiber River. 

Many ruins and excavations of the Roman Forum can be found here, and the Colosseum provides the visitors with an idea of how gladiators fought in this massive amphitheater. The Pantheon, the temple of the gods, now a church is one of the best-preserved Roman structures. The Via Appia, meantime, transports you back in time through one of Rome's oldest roadways. The city of Rome is essentially a gigantic open-air museum.

On a Walking Tour of Rome see some of the city's most spectacular buildings, fountains, and squares, and explore the famous landmarks and monuments at your pace. A walking tour is highly recommended while in Rome as you can access areas of the 'Eternal City', otherwise inaccessible by car or buses. Find hidden streets, quaint cafes, and off-beaten paths as you discover Rome on foot. 

A walking tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum transports you back to ancient Rome and its glory days with the help of a skilled guide.

Wander around the streets of Rome, stopping to admire the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, temple of Hadrian and the Pantheon and take a gelato or a coffee break in between. You can also include a tour of the Colosseum and other Ancient Rome attractions if you are up for it.  Make your experience enriching by booking a guided tour with an expert tour guide to learn historical facts, stories, myths, and legends about the places of interest you visit. 

Visitors can also book a walking food tour of Rome where you get to explore culinary havens like Campa de Fiori, Jewish Quarter, and Trastevere to sample traditional Italian and Roman cuisine while touring historical ruins and monuments. 

Walk around Campa di Fiori, the stunning and ancient food market in Rome which is brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses. Meet some of the sellers who will serve samples of their wonderful delicacies while you take in the lively ambiance.

Then head to Trastevere, a charming district with cobblestone streets lined with beloved local eateries and cafes. With your guide, stroll through the neighborhood, stopping at several cafes for a tasting of typical Roman delicacies. End your tour at the Jewish Quarters, a bohemian neighborhood south of Rome's historical center famous for its vintage shops and art studios.

You can choose to avoid the bevy of visitors and the day crowd rush with an evening walking tour of Rome, plus watch the city and its ancient structures get illuminated in all their majestic glory. When you go on an evening walking tour of Rome, you'll see a side of the city and its key sites that many visitors miss. The city comes alive in a different way with infectious energy at dusk. If you can, then try to watch the sunset in the backdrop of the colosseum. After dark, you can see sites such as the Quirinale Palace and Trevi Fountain, as well as the Piazza Venezia, all lit up, creating a stunning picture and perfect for photo opportunities.
