Rome self-guided walking tours · free · with maps
Rome on foot: four self-guided walks.
Four walks through different parts of Rome, each a real route with a map you can print, directions between stops and a source linked for every fact. Or open Strolio in Rome and it builds a walk from wherever you are, for the time you have.
Four walks in Rome
Pick by area or by time. Each page has the map, directions between stops, opening hours where they matter, and a shorter version.
The historic centre
From the square where Giordano Bruno was burned, past the Pantheon and Bernini's elephant, to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.
Ancient Rome
Round the Colosseum, past Trajan's Column, up Michelangelo's Capitoline to a free view over the Forum.
The Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere
The Jewish Ghetto, over a Roman bridge of 62 BC to Trastevere and Raphael's Galatea.
Castel Sant'Angelo to St Peter's
Bernini's angels, an avenue begun under Mussolini, the Passetto, the Swiss Guard and the Vatican walls.
How these walks are checked
Every fact on these pages comes from a source we opened and link to, such as heritage registers, city archives, museum sites and Wikipedia. Each page was then checked again, sentence by sentence, by someone who did not write it. See how we check stories →
