Itinerary and highlights

The Spanish Steps’ wide sweeping stairway peacefully resting under the stars is a romantic sight and a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike.

The Pantheon located in the lively Piazza della Rotonda is another monument not to be missed at night for its architectural magnificence. Crowds of locals and visitors gather here at night and sit on the steps of the centerpiece fountain, and enjoy the scenery.

The Trevi Fountain conjures memories of La Dolce Vita with lights shimmering on the gushing water and reflecting in the pool into which thousands of coins are tossed each day and night.

A stop in St Peter’s Square is always a favorite with our guests to admire the serenity St Peter’s Basilica and peaceful square embraced by Bernini’s enormous colonnades. The Basilica is also very often photographed at night.

The impressive monument to the Victor Emanuel II, dominating the square almost glows lit by countless lights.

Nearby along Via dei Fori Imperiali vestiges of ancient Imperial Forums with Roman Emperor Trajan’s imperial forum, the marketplace, and column are a sight to behold.

The last stop is on top of Janiculum Hill for an unforgettable overview of Rome below with its shimmering city lights while covered by the night’s blanket of stars.
