One of the best ways to appreciate the Eternal City is by walking its streets and piazzas just before nightfall, as the sunset light warmly embraces its palaces and fountains. This is also the way locals do it, by taking a leisurely passeggiata (Italian for a relaxed stroll) in the historic center at the end of a busy day.
During this 2 hour tour, we will connect with the city at her most glorious hour. Our local expert will introduce Rome’s culture, history, and art as the sun turns the streets orange and gold. They will tie these themes into century-long traditions and to the day-to-day rhythm of the modern city.
Start at the bottom of Piazza del Campidoglio and climb up to the hill to admire a spectacular view of the ancient city of Rome, the Roman Forum. Step back in time as we explore the ancient ruins of the Roman Forum by moonlight. Traverse the same paths as ancient Romans and uncover the stories of emperors, senators, and everyday citizens who once walked these historic grounds. Experience the mystique of this archaeological wonder as it takes on an even more captivating ambiance under the evening sky including the Trajan’s Column.
Continue to Quirinal Hill to admire a romantic view of the square and the city during the sunset.
From here you’ll easily reach the Trevi Fountain. Witness the ethereal glow and toss a coin into the shimmering waters, making a wish for a memorable Roman adventure.
