Walks in Rome
Рим цезарей: Колизей, Римский форум и Капитолий
От Золотого дома Нерона и школы гладиаторов до площади Микеланджело: арки триумфаторов, тюрьма побеждённых царей, колонна Траяна и лучший вид на Форум и Палатин в Риме
Il Gianicolo del Risorgimento: Garibaldi, Mameli e la Repubblica Romana del 1849
Da Villa Farnesina e Raffaello al Tempietto del Bramante, dal Fontanone alla Porta San Pancrazio degli eroi del 1849, fino alla terrazza più bella di Roma, al cannone di mezzogiorno e alla quercia del Tasso
La Rome des Césars : visite de la Rome antique, du Colisée au Capitole
Gladiateurs, empereurs et Gaulois : du Colisée au Forum romain, de la prison de Vercingétorix à la roche Tarpéienne, la Rome antique racontée par une amie qui y vit
La Roma española: de la plaza de España a los Borgia
Embajadas, papas valencianos, santos vascos y el rescate de Cervantes: un paseo por Roma tras las huellas de España, de la Barcaccia al Tempietto que pagaron los Reyes Católicos
La Roma de los césares: Coliseo, Foro Romano y Palatino
Gladiadores, vestales, emperadores nacidos en Hispania y la columna de Trajano: un paseo por la Roma antigua, del Coliseo al Capitolio y los Foros Imperiales
Emperors, Saints and Alchemists: Monti & the Esquiline Hill
From Trajan's spiral column through the Suburra where Caesar grew up, past Michelangelo's horned Moses and Nero's buried palace, to a magic door no one has ever deciphered
Emperors Underfoot: Augustus and the Buried Campus Martius of Rome
From the hall where Caesar was stabbed to the tomb of the heir who turned that murder into an empire: theatres, baths, a sundial and an altar of peace hidden under Rome's shopping streets
Queen of Roads: Rome's Appian Way from the Baths of Caracalla to the Catacombs
Out through the Aurelian Walls onto the Via Appia Antica: the Scipios' tomb, Peter's footprints at Quo Vadis, the Crypt of the Popes, an emperor's racetrack and the tower of Caecilia Metella
Aventin und Testaccio: Schlüsselloch, Scherbenberg und Arbeiterviertel in Rom
Vom Rosengarten über dem alten jüdischen Friedhof zum Schlüsselloch der Malteser, hinunter zum antiken Hafen, auf den Berg aus fünfzig Millionen Krügen und bis zum Grab von Goethes Sohn unter der Cestius-Pyramide

Vom Petersdom über den Fluchtgang der Päpste und Hadrians Mausoleum bis zu Michelangelos Meisterwerken
Geheimes Antikes Rom: Kaiserpaläste, Schattengänge und der Circus Maximus
Ein Spaziergang durch die antiken Geheimnisse Roms jenseits der Massen, von Wagenrennen bis zur Ermordung Caesars
Are Rome's streets easy to walk?
Central Rome is paved with historic basalt cobblestones (sampietrini), which can be uneven and slick in the rain. Comfortable, flat walking shoes are essential. The historic center is mostly flat, though routes over Aventine, Janiculum, or Capitoline involve gentle stone ascents.
Do I need special clothing for church stops?
Yes. Many stops visit or pass active basilicas and churches. If you step inside, knees and shoulders must be covered. The audio stories work perfectly from outside in the piazza if you prefer not to queue or go inside.
What languages are available for Rome?
The Rome collection is multilingual, offering independent routes authored in Spanish, Russian, English, German, French, and Italian. Each walk was written separately rather than translated, giving different perspectives on the city.
How much does a Rome walk cost?
The first story of every walk and the complete written text of all stops are completely free. When anyone unlocks unvoiced stops on a route, those audio stories become permanently free for all future visitors.
