About This Tour
This is a mobile audio guide for a Rome city center walk. Use the in-app map to navigate, and audio can start automatically as GPS detects each stop. The route links Rome’s most famous squares and monuments, from Renaissance Piazza Farnese to the Trevi Fountain. It begins at Palazzo Farnese and the twin fountains, then moves to Campo de' Fiori’s daily market and the Giordano Bruno monument. The walk continues to Pasquino, Rome’s “talking statue,” before reaching Piazza Navona with its Baroque fountains, Sant’Agnese in Agone, and Palazzo Pamphilj. Next comes the Pantheon and Piazza della Rotonda, followed by Piazza Capranica’s palaces and theatre. The final stretch passes Palazzo Montecitorio, Piazza Colonna with the Column of Marcus Aurelius, and a glass-roofed arcade near Via del Corso, ending at the iconic Trevi Fountain, fed by the ancient Aqua Virgo.

Tips & Recommendations
- Start early (before 9:00) or later in the evening for lighter crowds at Piazza Navona, the Pantheon area, and Trevi.
- Wear comfortable shoes - cobblestones and uneven paving are common.
- Bring water, especially in warmer months; fountains are easy to find, but a bottle helps between stops.
- Keep bags zipped and phones secure in busy squares, markets, and around Trevi.
- Campo de' Fiori is liveliest in the morning; if the market matters, schedule this stop earlier.
- For better Trevi photos, approach from side streets and step back to the edges instead of the center.
- If queues form at the Pantheon, enjoy the exterior first and return later; the tour still works without going inside.
- Dress modestly for churches (covered shoulders and knees is a safe choice).
- Expect GPS to drift in narrow streets - pause for a moment in open squares if audio does not trigger.
- Take short breaks in the quieter corners near Piazza Capranica to reset away from the crowds.
- Consider a quick detour to gelato or espresso along Via del Corso - it’s an easy landmark corridor if rerouting is needed.
- After dark, keep to well-lit main streets between Piazza Colonna and Trevi for easier navigation.
