“Squares and Fountains” Free Walking Tour

The walking starts in Piazza di Spagna by the Spanish Steps and ends at Piazza Navona. A “Welcome Tour” to see the main Highlights of Rome and the main Squares and Fountains of the Eternal City! Our expert tour guides, all licensed and graduated in history of art or archeology, will show you how the places of the Roman Empire have been transformed over the centuries into Papal properties and became symbols of the Pope’s power.

During the walking tour, you will have the opportunity to see some of the major tourist highlights in Rome. You can admire first of all the “Barcaccia” Fountain and then the magnificent “Trevi Fountain” and other memorable sites such as the Victory Column of Marcus Aurelius, Palazzo Chigi and the Temple of Hadrian, a time temple dedicated to the deified Emperor Hadrian and where the remains of the temple have been incorporated into a late Baroque building.

Then you will discover the Pantheon, originally a Roman Temple dedicated to all Pagan Gods, and then transformed into a Church which houses the tomb of Italian Kings and the tomb of Raphael, the greatest painter of the Renaissance.
Save the best for last and end your tour at Piazza Navona, the pride of Baroque Rome, where you can admire the famous and wonderful Four Rivers Fountain, one of the most magnificent masterpieces of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. You can also admire the façade of S. Agnese Church, a masterpiece by Francesco Borromini. Navona Square was in the past, the Ancient Roman Stadium for the Olympic Games in Rome and now is definitely the most monumental and amazing Roman square.

At the end of the tour, given their proximity, you can visit St. Peter’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel on your own. But remember, if you don’t want to wait in line and visit them on your own, you can book entrance tickets and tours for these attractions with us, as well as visits to the Colosseum and much more!
