Walking in Rome

Rome stacks nearly three thousand years of history within a few square kilometres. Free tours link the Colosseum and Roman Forum with the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain, or cross the river to Trastevere's lanes. Guides weave together emperors, popes and artists, and point out the everyday details, like drinking fountains, that visitors usually miss.

Good to know: Churches expect covered shoulders and knees, and summer afternoons are hot, so morning tours are more comfortable.
