Rome Squares and Fountains Guided Tour

Itinerary

Greet your guide in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo in the city center and the 3-hour guided tour will begin with a brief history of the only neo-classical style square in Rome called Piazza del Popolo, completed in 1820 by Giuseppe Valadier.

Follow your guide up the elegant steps to the Pincio (Pincian Hill), which is a very popular place to go for a walk thanks to its lush vegetation, eye-catching monuments and agreeable footpaths. During the walk in you’ll be able to admire a spectacular view of the grand Piazza del Popolo, once the gateway of Ancient Rome.

Continue the tour in the renowned Piazza di Spagna with a beautiful fountain in the middle, the Fontana della Barcaccia and the grandiose staircase (Spanish Steps) that lead to the Church of Trinità dei Monti.

Next, walk to Piazza di Trevi, where the stunning Fontana di Trevi stands. The Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome, designed by Nicola Salvi and Pietro Bracci. While you surround the fountain, you’ll learn all about this fascinating landmark and its legends.

Once you have marveled at the Trevi Fountain, you’ll amble to Piazza della Rotonda, home to the imposing Pantheon.

Piazza Navona is the next step on this walking-tour. This square was established during the first century AD. In Ancient Rome, it was used as competition arena for sporting games and animal fighting.

The tour will come to an end in Campo de’ Fiori, a square famous for its commercial and street culture. Every day it hosts one of the most visited markets, packed with things to eat, clothes and flowers.
