What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Colosseum

   Pass by

   The bus passes right alongside the Colosseum, fully floodlit after dark. From the open top deck you get an unobstructed view of the arches and the upper tiers — no crowds, no queue, no walking. The audio guide tells the story of the amphitheatre as you pass.

2. 2

   Arch of Constantine

   Pass by

   The triumphal arch of Emperor Constantine stands right beside the Colosseum, brightly lit at night and clearly visible from the open top deck as the bus passes.

3. 3

   Fori Romani

   Pass by

   The bus runs the length of Via dei Fori Imperiali, with the Imperial Forums and Trajan's Column on one side and the archaeological area of the Roman Forum on the other, all lit up after dark.

4. 4

   Circo Massimo

   Pass by

   The vast open space of the ancient chariot racing track, with the Palatine Hill and its ruins rising behind it, seen from the open top deck.

5. 5

   Piazza del Campidoglio

   Pass by

   Michelangelo's square and the staircase leading up to it, lit up at night, seen from the bus as it passes the foot of the Capitoline Hill.

6. 6

   Altare della Patria

   Pass by

   The Vittoriano's white marble is floodlit after dark and towers over Piazza Venezia — one of the most striking sights of the tour, best seen from the open top deck.

7. 7

   Piazza Venezia / Ancient City

   Pass by

   Rome's busiest crossroads, dominated by the white marble of the Vittoriano. The bus passes through the square with Palazzo Venezia on one side and Via del Corso opening up ahead, all lit up at night.

8. 8

   St. Peter's Basilica

   Pass by

   Michelangelo's dome seen from the open top deck as the bus approaches the Vatican side of the river — one of the best views of St. Peter's after dark.
