What To Expect
Your Rome Christmas walking tour starts at Piazza di Spagna at the bottom of the Spanish Steps, one of the city’s most popular gathering places. With your informative guide, peek down the narrow streets that wind through Rome’s historic center, and walk along Via dei Condotti, lined with high-end shops decorated for the holidays.
Stop by the Trevi Fountain, and then make your way to Piazza Colonna, thought to be the very center of the city with its column erected by Marcus Aurelius. Admire the exterior of the domed Pantheon, and then wander through Piazza Navona, where you can enjoy its Christmas Market and listen to a story about ‘la befana,’ the Italian Christmas witch.
Finally, head to Vatican City to see the Christmas tree and Nativity scene at St Peter’s Square. Your tour ends here, where you are free to continue soaking up Rome’s Christmas atmosphere on your own.
