Walk Rome Like a Local
2,000 years of history — all within walking distance
Plan my Rome walk →Rome's historic centre is surprisingly compact, letting you walk from the Colosseum to the Trevi Fountain to the Vatican in a single long day. Getting lost in the backstreets between monuments is half the pleasure of visiting the Eternal City.
Top landmarks to walk between
Colosseum
Ancient Rome's iconic amphitheatre — book timed entry in advance
Roman Forum
The political and social heart of ancient Rome, next to the Colosseum
Trevi Fountain
Baroque showpiece — visit before 8 am for fewer crowds
Pantheon
2,000-year-old temple with the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome
Vatican & St Peter's Basilica
Michelangelo's dome, the Pietà, and St Peter's Square
Piazza Navona
Elegant Baroque piazza with Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers
Walk from the Colosseum west through the centre — you'll hit the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and Campo de'Fiori before crossing the Tiber to Trastevere.
