Magic of Evening Rome
About this experience
In the evening, Rome is filled with solemn grandeur and contemplative, melancholic beauty. On this panoramic walk, you will see a completely different city: the evening lighting will add extraordinary texture and mystery to Rome's architectural masterpieces, while legends and stories about great emperors, the ancient era, and city ghosts will fill the ancient streets with a special atmosphere.
What to Expect
Iconic attractions in a new light
You will enjoy views of the evening city and see the main attractions of ancient and medieval Rome in stunning illumination. We will stroll through the Spanish Steps area, admire the Boat Fountain and the famous Spanish Steps, where bright shows of famous brand names take place in the evening. You will see the transformed Trevi Fountain in the light of the lights - a real water theater of the Baroque era, the magnificent Piazza Venezia, the Imperial Forums, the Pantheon temple, and the legendary Colosseum. At Piazza Navona, you will not only see the grand Fountain of the Four Rivers, but also hear Roman street musicians who gather here in the evenings. And from the banks of the Tiber, you will have a view of the Castel Sant'Angelo and the monumental St. Peter's Basilica.
Legends of Evening Rome
During the walk, you will not only get acquainted with the history of the Eternal City, but also touch the legends that come alive with the sunset. You will hear about the sad ghost of the poet John Keats, who wanders the steps of the Spanish Steps, and learn where exactly Gogol and Andersen lived in Rome. I will tell you the romantic legend of the creation of the Trevi Fountain and the interesting history of the Poly Palace, where Princess Volkonskaya held receptions. The Bonaparte Palace on Piazza Venezia also holds many secrets. And at the ancient attractions of the Eternal City, we will talk about the lives of emperors and ancient Roman legends: you will learn where the first Roman coins were kept, how the city was saved by geese, and where the Navel of the Earth is located.

For travelers who are visiting Rome for the first time. Those who have already taken a sightseeing tour of the Eternal City may not find it as interesting.
