The route, stop by stop
Piazza Navona
A baroque showpiece built on the floor of a Roman stadium — where the crowds never really left.
The Pantheon
Two thousand years old and still standing, because Rome found a use for it nobody expected.
Bernini's Elephant
A tiny elephant carrying an Egyptian obelisk — with a cheeky grudge built into its backside.
Piazza di Sant'Ignazio
A square built like a stage set — hiding one of Rome's greatest optical illusions just inside, free for you to see.
Galleria Sciarra
Duck through an ordinary archway near the Trevi and walk straight into a frescoed secret almost no tourist finds.
The Trevi Fountain
A wall of water and gods that bursts straight out of a palace — and ends an aqueduct two thousand years old.
Via dei Condotti & Caffè Greco
Rome's glossiest shopping street hides its oldest café — where Casanova, Keats and Byron all drank.
The Spanish Steps
The grandest staircase in Europe — where poets came to dream, and one of them came to die.
