Rome in a Day: Ultimate Self-Guided Walking Tour of Rome

Rome is a city with thousands of years of history, all layered together and visible in its stunning monuments, buildings and neighborhoods. The historic center in particular is full of things to do and see, and luckily they’re all within walking distance of one another. And even if you’ve only got one free day to explore the Italian capital, we’ve got you covered. This self-guided walking tour of Rome will help you hit all the main monuments and areas in just a few hours.

Colosseum in Rome

Of course, we think this city merits at least a few days of exploring. But in case you’re short on time, we’ve rounded up the top spots you simply can’t miss.

On this self-guided walking tour of Rome, we’re taking you from the Colosseum to the Vatican, with many stops in between. But feel free to spend as much time as you’d like at each place, and adapt it to fit with any other tours you might have scheduled.

Follow this route for the ultimate self-guided walking tour of Rome.

8 Essential Stops on a Self-Guided Walking Tour of Rome

Colosseum and roman forum.

Let’s start our day with one of Rome’s oldest monuments, the Colosseum . Even if you don’t have time to go inside, the park around the monument gives you a good look at the exterior. If you walk down the road a bit, you’ll be able to look down into the Roman Forum at the ruins as well.

Piazza Venezia

Your next stop is the central hub of Rome, Piazza Venezia, where you’ll find the Vittorio Emanuele II monument—or as the Romans affectionately call it, “the wedding cake.” This multi-level, white marble monument was built to commemorate the unification of Italy under the reign of its first king, Vittorio Emanuele II.

Trevi Fountain

Not far from Piazza Venezia is one of the most popular sites in Rome, the Fontana di Trevi . Wandering along a small side street, you’ll hear the fountain before you see it. This stunning masterpiece is a must-see for any first-time visitors to Rome. Due to the popular tradition of throwing coins in the fountain, it earns about €3,000 a day to be given to the charity Caritas .

Insider’s tip: It’s best to visit as early (or late) as possible in the day to avoid the crowds. Think 5 or 6 a.m.!

Spanish Steps

From the Trevi Fountain, you’ll make your way to the Spanish Steps next (detour to Piazza Barberini if you’d like to see another of Bernini’s fountains along the way, the Fontana del Tritone ). Because recent restrictions prohibit any sitting or eating on the steps themselves, hold off until our next stop. In the meantime, you can take photos, grab a drink at the rooftop terrace above the steps, or do some shopping at the designer stores in the square. 

This iconic building is next on your self-guided walking tour of Rome. You may know that the Roman Pantheon is famous for being the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. But did you know that the building burned down twice?? Or that painter Raphael’s fiancée is buried here? Before gazing up at that awe-inspiring ceiling, make sure to brush up on some little-known facts about the Pantheon !

And of course, we have plenty of recommendations for where to eat near the Pantheon. After you’ve admired the only source of light, a 7.8-meter oculus in the center of the dome, head outside to enjoy a refreshing gelato.

Piazza Navona

A short walk from the Pantheon will bring you to Piazza Navona . Just like the Circus Maximus, this square was originally used for chariot racing and other events in Ancient Roman times, before being built over in later eras. In the center is yet another of Bernini’s fountains, the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi , which has inspired people with its beauty for centuries.

Remember, it’s best to skip dining at any restaurants in this area (most of which will be overpriced). But if you do want to sit and enjoy the view, grab a cappuccino or glass of wine at one of the many bars nearby.

St. Peter’s and the Vatican

Depending on what time of year you’re visiting, the Vatican can easily take up an entire morning or afternoon. Be prepared for long lines (even if you buy a ticket ahead of time). You’ll want to dedicate at least a couple of hours if you do decide to venture into the Vatican Museums or the basilica. From the outside, however, you can see the entire square of St. Peter’s and enjoy the exterior architecture and sculptures.

After a long day spent exploring the center of Rome and its historic treasures, heading to the Trastevere neighborhood for dinner, a drink and maybe a gelato is the perfect way to end the evening. Join us on our Trastevere at Sunset: Rome Food & Wine Tour  or continue the DIY spirit of the day and choose from among Trastevere’s best restaurants .

Either way, you’ll end your tour of Rome in one of its most beautiful areas, where you’ll get to see a different side of this vibrant city.

And, if you offer a coin to the Trevi Fountain, you’ll be more likely to return to Rome. I left in 92, didn’t do the coin thing as I’d hoped to be back in 2 weeks (half my vacation), I never returned. When you’ve spent a few days in Rome, you’ll understand. A word to the wise.

Very wise words, Mary!

Tour description

Follow in the footsteps of emperors on the best of rome walking tour..

This Best of Rome Walking Tour takes you on a fascinating journey through Ancient Rome with a knowledgeable guide whose stories of both innovative and brutal emperors will bring each stop to life. From the historic center to the Roman Forum, you'll get to the heart of Rome and see the most important monuments that gave rise to a global empire.

Your tour begins at Piazza Navona, considered today to be Rome's most beautiful plaza. Your guide will reveal the surprising connection this square has to Ancient Rome, buried over time as new civilizations rose and fell. After that, you’ll visit the Pantheon—completed during the reign of Emperor Hadrian—to see the astonishing 2,000-year old dome that remains the world's largest unsupported dome to this day.

After a brief pause to use the restroom or sip a coffee (price not included in tour), the next stop on your Best of Rome Walking Tour is where Emperor Julius Caesar met his untimely demise on the Ides of March. Nestled in the middle of a bustling plaza, you'd probably never guess that this is where one of the most famous scenes of Ancient Rome played out. Thanks to your expert local guide, you don't have to worry about missing a thing.

Step into life in Ancient Rome at the Forum to wrap up your Best of Rome Walking Tour.

From there, you’ll pass other landmarks like Piazza Venezia and Piazza del Campidoglio—the latter designed by Michelangelo himself—on your way to the Roman Forum where you’ll bypass the crowds and head straight in for a complete guided visit. As you explore the sprawling archeological site, your guide will share a plethora of stories, facts, myths and legends from over 2,000 years of history.

You'll visit restricted areas, including Palatine Hill's newest monument, the Domus Tiberiana—the first imperial palace recently restored and reopened in Fall 2023. Renovated by several emperors including Domitian and Hadrian, the palace stretched more than nine acres! The tour continues to the enchanting Palatine Hill, where according to Roman mythology, the story of Rome began with the birth of Romulus and Remus.

Your tour concludes outside of Ancient Rome's most emblematic monuments, the Colosseum, where many a Roman emperor attended its games. Your guide will also point out the nearby Arch of Constantine, built in 315 to celebrate the victory of Emperor Constantine over Maxentius.

This unforgettable Best of Rome experience combines a leisurely walking tour of Rome’s Centro Storico with the main highlights of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. It’s an excellent way to discover Ancient Rome and get to know its many colorful characters.

Please note that this description is an example and your experience may vary depending on the season, day of the week, and group size. Regardless of where your tour goes, you always have an excellent experience.

What a superb tour. Words cannot express how excellent a time we had. What made it truly memorable was our tour guide, Siri (her nickname). She was an incredible tour guide and gave us so much information about each place we visited, as well as giving us tips about where we should visit after the tour had ended. She was also so friendly and personable, we loved her right away. We followed her advice and had a great afternoon following the tour too! Us 3 Australians will look back at this tour so fondly in the years to come, so thank you to Siri for the wonderful experience!

Nicola was a very knowledgeable guide with great communication skills and as sense of humour. He gave us an excellent summary of the development of the Roman Forum, the imperial fora and palaces over time[ no mean feat ! ] which really helped my understanding of what I was looking at. The early entry to the Pantheon was a highlight. I really enjoyed the tour.Found it very informative and varied. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Nicola was a very knowledgeable guide with great communication skills and a sense of humour. He managed to summarise the Roman forum and the development of the later imperial fora and palaces really well( no mean feat) which helped us understand a lot more what we were looking at. Entry to the Pantheon early in the day was a highlight. A memorable tour. Would definitely recommend.

Nomadic Matt: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Better

The Best Walking Tours in Rome

The famous and historic Trevi fountain in Rome, Italy

Rome is a city with layers. Literally. Stretching back thousands of years, the ancient Italian capital has been built and rebuilt, sieged and sacked, and rebuilt some more. Its history is linked to countless world-changing events over the past 2,500 years, intricately connecting it to the entirety of Western civilization. (They don’t call it the Eternal City for nothing.)

Wandering through Rome, everywhere you go as there’s some ancient column or area that was built around historic ruins.

But most of these ruins don’t have signs. There’s no story.

If you want to peel back the layers of Rome, taking a walking tour is a must. It will give you the context and story of what you’re seeing so you can better understand how the city grew, came to be, and its culture. Whether you’re a foodie, history buff, or culture junkie, Rome boasts countless walking tours to help you peek beneath the layers and see beyond the cacophonous and overtouristed exterior.

To help you deepen your experience and learn about Rome’s history and culture, here’s my list of what I think are the best walking tours:

Best Overall Tour

The Take Walks walking tour company logo

Take Walks is my favorite walking tour company in the city. They offer over two dozen excellent and insightful tours and provide insider access to many of the best sights. For example, Take Walks is the only company that allows you to accompany the key master of the Vatican Museums . They also have an exclusive Colosseum tour with VIP access to the arena floor.

Best Free Tour

new Europe logo

New Europe offers three free tours that cover all the basics in Rome, introducing you to the city’s highlights, including the Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, and more. With tours covering ancient Rome, the city center, and Rome at night, you can easily get the lay of the land on a budget with New Europe. Just remember to tip your guide!

  While the two tours above are my top favorites, there are still a bunch of other great companies to consider when you visit Rome. Here are some more of my favorite walking tour companies in Rome:  

1. Devour Tours

Devour is my favorite food tour company in the city. They currently have five different food tours around the city, including a guided tour through the atmospheric food market in Testaccio , where Roman cuisine was born, as well as a food and wine tour through the narrow, cobbled, trattoria-flanked streets of Trastevere. Both these tours will leave you really full. I was so stuffed at the end.

They also offer an in-depth three-hour pasta-making class with a local chef if you want to hone your culinary skills.

Tours from 65 EUR.

Book here!  

2. City Wonders

If you have a proclivity for the morbid and the mysterious, this is the company for you. They run chilling 3.5-hour tour around Romes crypts and catacombs . On the tour, you’ll visit the eerie Capuchin Crypt where the bones of over 4,000 monks rest, and explore the Basilica San Martino ai Monti. You’ll also get to visit Rome’s famous catacombs, where early Christians practiced their faith in secret some 2,000 years ago. The tour includes skip-the-line access so you never have to wait, as well as a coach to take you from site to site.

Tours from 59 EUR.

3. Elizabeth Lev

This American-born guide and published art historian has been a Rome resident for 20 years. She hosts in-depth theme-based walking tours ( I love traveling with a theme ). So, if you’ve ever daydreamed of having an actual art historian accompany you to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, give Elizabeth a call. Love Baroque sculptor Bernini? Go down a 17th-century rabbit hole with her. Want to fully indulge yourself in the intriguing history of Christian Rome? Elizabeth will take you there. No matter what your interests, Elizabeth can design a tour to suit your thematic needs.

Inquire via the website for tour pricing.

4. Fat Tire Tours

This is the best bike tour in the city. Fat Tire Tours offers a three-hour bike tour of the city center, covering all the highlights, from the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain to the Circus Maximus and the Jewish Ghetto. The tours are perfect for the busy budget traveler who wants to cram in a lot of activity in a short time — without skipping out on the details in the process. And, while these tours pack a lot in, they run at a leisurely pace so you won’t feel rushed (or exhausted) as you explore.

Tours from 39 EUR.

5. Stefano Rome Tours

Founded by tour guide Stefano Costantini, this company offers private tours in and around Rome. While they say that Rome wasn’t built in a day, Stefano can help you see it in a day. In fact, the most popular tour is Rome in a Day, though there are also special tours like Rome by Night, Christian Rome, or Angels and Demons (which focuses on the filming locations of Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons ).

Stefano also offers day trips to the countryside surrounding Rome, such as to the medieval hill town of Calcata, 40 miles to the north. This bewitching village is inhabited by artists and hippies and is famed for its…curious Christian relic (featured in the excellent travel book An Irreverent Curiosity ).

Tours from 370 EUR.

6. The Roman Guy

The Roman Guy isn’t just one guy anymore, but whoever your tour guide is, you’ll walk away feeling like you know Rome much better. A large number of quality tours are on offer, including all the standard hits like the Vatican, the Colosseum, the catacombs at night, Rome in a Day, and various skip-the-line options. There is also a cocktail bar–themed tour on which you can get acquainted with the city’s burgeoning booze scene, hitting some major sites while weaving from one bar to the next.

Tours from 27 EUR.

Book The Roman Guy here!

Regardless of your budget or interests, connecting with a local guide to show you around is a great way to learn about a city. Rome is a big city, making walking tours one of the best ways to explore it. Whether you’re a first-time visitor on a budget or a veteran traveler looking to deepen your knowledge with an in-depth experience, walking tours in Rome won’t disappoint. And, while Take Walks is my favorite company, you can’t go wrong with any tours on this list!

Book Your Trip to Rome: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner to find a cheap flight. They are my favorite search engine because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned!

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

  • Safety Wing (best for everyone)
  • Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
  • Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

Looking for the Best Companies to Save Money With? Check out my resource page for the best companies to use when you travel. I list all the ones I use to save money when I’m on the road. They will save you money when you travel too.

Price: Adults from 99 euros (about $110); kids from 94 euros (around $104) Duration: 3 hours

U.S. News independently paid to send Laura Itzkowitz , a freelance journalist based in Rome, on this tour to provide readers with an unbiased, first-hand perspective of what to expect. What a Life Tours – Skip-the-line Vatican Small Group Tour was selected by our team thanks to its popularity and favorable user reviews.

One of the largest – and most crowded – landmarks in the world, the Vatican Museums actually comprises 26 museums, plus various chapels and galleries, so while it’s a must-see attraction, it can be an overwhelming place to visit.

On this skip-the-line excursion from What a Life Tours, the engaging guide brought us straight to the highlights, starting with the Pinecone Courtyard and ending in St. Peter’s Basilica, where she showed us Michelangelo’s Pietà and explained why it’s the only work the artist actually signed.

Along the tour, you’ll see masterpieces from the Vatican Museums’ collection, including the ancient statue of Laocoön and his sons; the Belvedere Torso, which inspired Michelangelo; Greek Cross Hall; and the Round Hall, which contains a monumental bronze statue of Hercules. Other highlights include the Gallery of Candelabra; the Gallery of Tapestries; the Gallery of Maps, where the guide pointed out some fun facts about Italy in the 1600s; and the Sistine Chapel.

Talking isn’t allowed in the Sistine Chapel, so the guide explained Michelangelo’s frescoes at the beginning of the tour. Our guide shared a deep knowledge of the artworks, and delivered her commentary with a sense of humor. However, the guide didn’t bring us to the Raphael Rooms; if this is a priority for you, you may want to book a different tour.

Tours generally operate Monday through Saturday; the first tour begins at 9:30 a.m. In addition to its variety of Vatican tours, the company also offers tours of the Colosseum and daylong tours of Rome.

Good to know:

  • Groups are capped at 12 or fewer participants. 
  • After the tour, stroll down Via della Conciliazione to capture the best photos of St. Peter’s Basilica.
  • For a nice lunch nearby, book a table at Ristorante Arlù, a family-run eatery that’s been open since 1959. If the weather is nice, ask for a table outside on the charming cobblestone street.
  • Prati, the neighborhood surrounding the Vatican, is popular for shopping, especially along Via Cola di Rienzo. Stop by il Sellaio di Serafini for a handmade leather bag, or Castroni for espresso and other gourmet foods to bring home.

WHAT DOES THIS GUIDE INCLUDE?

This guide includes all the must-see tourist attractions , how to get from one location to the other and how much time it takes, as well as how much time you should spend at each location!

The start of this guide is our accommodation, Armonia All’Opera , which is near the Rome Termini train station. We definitely enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for the perfect place to stay. The room with the private bathroom was around 100 euros per night!

1. COLOSSEUM

FROM ARMONIA ALL’OPERA TO COLOSSEUM – 20 minutes

SPEND AT THE COLOSSEUM – 0.5 to 1.5 hours

The symbol of Rome is the first on this list. Take a walk from the hotel and you’ll reach one of the most magical places in Rome – the Colosseum . The biggest amphitheater in the world is over 2 thousand years old and it looks spectacular from any point of view.

rome ultimate walking tour

Although it’s incredibly beautiful from the outside, the inside is something you must see . You need to explore the arena floor and the underground corridors because that’s something you won’t find anywhere else. The walls of the Colosseum are also full of informative texts about different parts and pieces of the Colosseum, so if you’re a history fan you will LOVE it. Our tickets were bought on GetYourGuide . If you’re interested in buying some, click here or on the box below!

2. ARCO DI COSTANTINO

FROM THE COLOSSEUM TO THE ARCH OF CONSTANTINE – 2 minutes

SPEND AT THE ARCH OF CONSTANTINE – 10 minutes

Probably the second most famous Arch in the world , after the one in Paris, is Arco di Costantino, or Arch of Constantine. Dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great, the Ancient Roman military passed through the Arch whenever they were victorious in one of their military battles. The Arch is only 2 minutes away from the Colosseum so you will find it easily. You can only see the Arch from the outside so walk over, marvel over it,  and take some amazing pictures there!

rome ultimate walking tour

3. PALATINE HILL

FROM THE ARCH OF CONSTANTINE TO PALATINE HILL – 2 minutes

SPEND AT THE PALATINE HILL – 1 hour

Rome was built on seven hills, and Palatine Hill was the central and most famous one . Today, you can see various excavations of different Italian sites which will bring you back to ancient Rome. Palatine Hill, in my opinion, is not as exciting as Colosseum or Forum Romanum, but it’s worth a visit and it’s included in the ticket!

rome ultimate walking tour

4. FORUM ROMANUM

FROM PALATINE HILL TO FORUM ROMANUM – 1 minute

SPEND AT THE FORUM ROMANUM – 1 hour

Forum Romanum is a place with maybe the most history in one place. Once, it was the main square of Rome , where literally EVERYONE used to come. The ancient Romans used to shop there, socialize, elect their leaders and prosecute their criminals. There are several incredible excavations there such as government buildings and temples. If you already bought a ticket for the Colosseum, the ticket is also valid for Forum Romanum, so enjoy and learn some ancient history!

5. VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI

FROM FORUM ROMANUM TO VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI – 2 minutes

SPEND AT VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI – 10 minutes

The Via dei Fori Imperiali is one of the prettiest roads I’ve ever seen! The cobbled road is in the city center of Rome, and it’s a real treat walking through it. Why? Well, each side of the road has incredible excavations in the open, leaving you completely in awe. The pavements on the sides of the road are also full of people making art or playing music so it’s a perfect place for some people-watching. I come back to this road multiple times a day when I’m in Rome because it’s just so wonderful!

rome ultimate walking tour

6. ALTARE DELLA PATRIA

FROM VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI TO ALTARE DELLA PATRIA – 10 minutes

SPEND AT ALTARE DELLA PATRIA – 30 minutes

Altare della Patria or The Altar of the Fatherland is one of the biggest and most impressive buildings in Rome. The magnificent building is 135 meters wide and 70 meters high and it’s completely made out of white marble . Inside the building, there is a museum you can visit, but if that doesn’t interest you, at least climb the stairs for the incredible view of Rome you will get!

rome ultimate walking tour

7. CAMPO DE FIORI

FROM ALTARE DELLA PATRIA TO CAMPO DE’ FIORI– 15 minutes

SPEND AT CAMPO DE’ FIORI – 30 minutes

Campo de’ Fiori is a daily market (excluding Sunday) where each morning you can come and buy fresh flowers, fruits, and vegetables but there are also other interesting products like spices, fresh pasta or even second-hand clothes. The market is very lively and it’s a great place to come and have a cup of coffee in the morning.

The square on which the market is held also includes a statue of Giordano Bruno who was executed there in 1600, so make sure to pay him a visit. Campo de’ Fiori is also a great place to have lunch. My recommendation goes to the restaurant Osteria da Fortunata , merely a few meters from the market. Delicious!

8. PIAZZA NAVONA

FROM CAMPO DE’ FIORI TO PIAZZA NAVONA – 5 minutes

SPEND AT PIAZZA NAVONA – 30 minutes

Rome’s most famous square is definitely Piazza Navona. Although the square is always crowded with tourists, it has a certain charm with all its churches, fountains, and monuments. Keep in mind that the restaurants and bars on the square are certain tourist traps so choose someplace else to have your authentic Italian meal.

Rome walking tour Piazza Navona

9. THE PANTHEON

FROM PIAZZA NAVONA TO THE PANTHEON – 5 minutes

SPEND AT THE PANTHEON – 1 hour

The Pantheon is the best-preserved building in the whole city of Rome , and it truly makes you wonder how in the world did they manage to build something so magnificent! The Pantheon is a Catholic church now, so if you’re up for a visit make sure you are covered – short pants are not a problem but your shoulders must be covered. If you’re going during the week, the entrance is free but the queues are massive. If you’re going on the weekend you must book your spot. We’ve bought an audio guide tour for 8 euros and secured a spot on a very busy Saturday morning!

Rome walking tour Pantheon

10. TREVI FOUNTAIN

FROM THE PANTHEON TO THE TREVI FOUNTAIN – 8 minutes

SPEND AT THE TREVI FOUNTAIN – 15 minutes

I’m a big Trevi fan. Every time I come to Rome, the Trevi fountain is what impresses me the most each time. The fountain is 30 meters high and the name of it comes from the Italian “tre via” or three roads which used to collide back in the day. It’s a tradition to throw a coin into the fountain to ensure you’ll be back in Rome, so don’t forget to toss a euro while there! The Trevi gets crazily crowded during the day and evening so if you want no crowds, get up early! Still, make sure to stop by during the evening to see it illuminated.

The Trevi Fountain looks spectacular. Great guide.

This walking tour guide is such a great idea! Love your quick little recap of the area too with all the tips!

What a great self-guided walking tour. We were in Rome in April and saw almost everything on this list. And I totally agree that walking is the way to go.

Awesome guide! When I was there, we just kinda walked aimlessly and it wasn’t very efficient… planning to use this the next time I go to Roma!

I highly recommend both an architectural walking tour in order to learn more about Ancient Rome.

I’ve been wanting to plan a trip to Rome and this is so helpful!

Beautiful post! This makes me want to go back and captures Rome well. It is such an amazing place!

I spent a semester in Italy and loved it! You’re making me want to go back there 🙂

Very Informative!

I just visited Rome on a Mediterranean cruise. I actually missed my tour so I need a do-over.

I haven’t visited Rome YET but I’m saving this to use when I do! Thank you so much!

Loved it! Thanks, Great post and loved the photos! Looks like a blast, excited to check these out!

Such a great guide to visit the most beautiful sights in Rome! I’ve been to Rome before and this post makes me really want to go back!

I’ve been to Rome a couple times and heading back this fall. All of those places are remarkable. I really enjoyed Constantine’s arch and the forum. The Pantheon is so impressive as well.

The Pantheon was one of my favorites on your walking tour. The age of it, and the amazing architecture is just spectacular. I forgot about having to cover your shoulders. Great guide, with some excellent tips!

Such a great walking tour for seeing these top sites. Bookmarking this for when I plan out my trip. Thanks!

This kind of walking tour is my favourite way to see any new city! I guess the only problem is you squished sooo many cool things in, it might take more than a single day to complete the walk! Rome is flipping gorgeous isn’t it!?

I am dyyyyying to go to Rome, this walking tour would be PERFECT. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the time you spent typing this out. Hope to see more from you in the future.

Walking Tours in Rome

Rome isn’t a big city, and walking is by far the best way to see it. Finding ancient remains nestled between shops, pieces of ancient statues decorating the sidewalk, and churches filled with mosaics and artistic masterpieces is part of the Rome experience that can only be enjoyed walking through the Eternal City.

Is Rome a Walkable City?

Rome wasn’t designed for cars, but it’s perfect for walking. From Piazza Venezia , the Colosseum , Pantheon , Spanish Steps , Trevi Fountain , Piazza Navona , Campo dè Fiori , and the Jewish Ghetto are all less than 20 minutes away on foot, meaning you can see a lot in a day at a leisurely pace.

Summer in Rome can be hot, so be careful, especially in July and August when temperatures are often around 100°F/38°C. Rome has a lot of wide streets, open squares, and archaeological parks that offer little shade during the heat of the day.

Try to start early, stay inside during the hottest part of the day, and come out again in the evening when the city is cooling down like the locals do. 

Conclusion: Rome is a walkable city if you are used to walking and avoid walking when the sun is hot.

Is it Worth Doing Guided Walking Tours in Rome?

With more than 2000 years of emperors and popes to get your head around, not to mention the artists and aristocracy who have lived in Rome, taking a guided tour can help you make sense of what you are seeing and prevent information overload.

Tour operators also have access to exciting options that are not available to the general public, like the chance to be the first to enter the Sistine Chapel in the morning or visit the Vatican Museums after hours.

But you don’t need a guide for every place. Rome is beautiful even if you don’t know the history of what you are seeing, and some places, like the catacombs and the Domus Aurea, can only be visited with their guides, so the tour is included in the ticket price.

Conclusion: Guided tours can give you exclusive access to some locations and help you to focus on the most important details at the most popular sites, but there’s also a lot you can see on your own.

How do Guided Tours Compare to Self-Guided or Free Walking Tours?

If you want to keep costs low, many places in Rome are easy to visit on your own with a guidebook. Get a map and plan a themed route, for example:

  • The squares and fountains of Rome
  • Bernini sculptures (minus Galleria Borghese )
  • Churches with Caravaggio paintings
  • Medieval mosaics
  • Ancient monuments

Or create your own street food tour by picking the best places to try supplì , pizza al taglio , trappizzino , tiramisu, and gelato , passing beautiful monuments on the way.

Free walking tours are another option if you don’t want to break the bank. These kinds of tours will show you a small part of the city. They usually last a couple of hours at the beginning or end of the day and don’t include any entrance fees, and are tip-based at your discretion. 

Conclusion: If you’re on a budget, guided tours aren’t your only option. There are some excellent resources you can use to explore on your own and free tours that can offer an introduction to some of the monuments in the city center.

What Should I Look for to Find the Right Walking Tour for Me?

Do you want a group tour? A small group tour? A private tour? Consider your budget and the kind of experience you want to find the right tour .

Group Tours

While a group walking tour might cost you €50 per person, you could be with 30+ other people, with little chance of interacting with the guide, who is hooked up to a radio system. However, these tours can be great if you just want to hear a little information about a place, to know what’s important to look at and don’t feel like reading a guidebook.

Small Group Tours

Walking tours with fewer than 10 people in a group will cost more (think around €100 per person), but you can ask questions and talk to other people in the group. The guide will have some flexibility to adapt the tour to the ages and interests of the group, offering you a more personalized type of tour.

Private Tours

Private guides offer maximum flexibility and, for families traveling together, may not be the more expensive option. Some guides specialize in history, art history, or archaeology, and some offer tours for younger travelers. Private guides will arrange your tickets and transportation or start the tour at your hotel, so you don’t have to worry about meeting points.

Tips for Choosing a Walking Tour in Rome:

  • Check the list of places visited carefully and whether the tour includes entrance to a site or just an external view. 
  • The Colosseum , Forum , and Palatine are on a single ticket. If a tour includes the Colosseum and Forum, you won’t be able to go back in on your own to visit the Palatine without buying another ticket.
  • The basic Colosseum tickets do not include entrance to the underground. If seeing that is important to you, make sure you’re booking the right tour.
  • Most walking tours last about 3 hrs, and (group tours) won’t include stops. Walking is usually at a leisurely pace, but if you don’t think you’ll be able to stand for so long, consider a golf cart tour instead.

Conclusion: Take time to compare different tours and see what each one offers. Doublecheck if entrance to the sites you want to visit is included on the tour and in the price before booking.

Can You Walk Rome in a Day?

The historic center of Rome isn’t big, but there’s a lot to see. The Colosseum to the Vatican Museums would take you about an hour on foot and wouldn’t be the best use of your time. 

If you only have a day in Rome , I suggest choosing either the Colosseum or the Vatican Museums. A tour of either site will take about 3 hours. Then you can enjoy the rest of the day walking around the center where Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Trevi Fountain are easy to walk between.

Conclusion: You can’t walk Rome in a day if you plan to visit the Vatican Museum and the Colosseum. Two days would be the minimum to do walking tours of both sites and to visit the most important monuments of the city center.

Are Night Walking Tours Worth Doing?

Rome is another kind of beautiful at night, with lights on many of the monuments, cooler temperatures, and no crowds. If you arrive in the afternoon and are ready to start exploring Rome, a night tour is a wonderful introduction to the Eternal City.

Most night tours will include the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, and possibly Castel Sant’Angelo and St. Peter’s on the other side of the river. However, some focus on darker parts of Rome’s history, like stories of the Inquisition.

Conclusion: Rome is worth seeing at night, and some companies offer tours that include some of the city’s most famous monuments. This is also an easy self-guided option with GoogleMaps.

Tips for a Great Walking Tour Experience

  • Don’t book a walking tour if you can’t walk at a leisurely pace for 3 hours. Think about doing a bus or golf cart tour instead.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. If you’re visiting any ancient sites, it’s best to wear closed shoes.
  • If your tour includes any churches, remember to respect the dress code and cover your shoulders and knees. Carry a light scarf in your bag so you’re ready any time you pass an interesting-looking church. 
  • In the summer, bring sun cream, a sun hat or umbrella, and a water bottle with you. Rome has many water fountains where you can refill your bottle for free.
  • Avoid outdoor tours during the middle of the day in summer. Try and book tours at the beginning or end of the day when the weather is cooler.
  • In winter, bring an umbrella. Rome doesn’t have a lot of heavy rain, and tours will go ahead as long as the sites remain open.
  • Book tours in advance, especially if you want hard-to-get tickets, like Galleria Borghese or the Colosseum Underground, and make sure you understand the cancellation policy. 
  • Finally, always check what other travelers have said in online reviews to know what to expect before you book.

Spend a day at a spa resort, indulge in natural treatments, and leave feeling completely rejuvenated.

Jerash: Rome in the Middle East

History enthusiasts will fall in love with Jerash , often referred to as the “Pompeii of the East.” This remarkably well-preserved ancient Roman city features massive colonnaded streets, grand plazas, and ancient theatres. Walking through Jerash is like stepping into the past, offering a glimpse of Roman life in the Middle East. The annual Jerash Festival celebrates local culture with music, dance, and performances, bringing the city’s ancient history to life.
