Rome by Night – Walking and Driving tour (Squares and Fountains)

Enjoy Rome’s night scene either on foot or by a driving tour. See the ancient and the modern under the soft glow of evening, and watch the city change around you from daylit and bustling to the relaxed activity and the sweeping, violet-gold shimmer of city lights at dusk.

Evening is the most magical time to visit the structures and monuments that Roman locals enjoy every day. Climb the proud Spanish Steps from the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti. Visit Trevi Fountain, a truly massive and imposing building 86 feet tall, which receives approximately three thousand euros every day in the form of coins. The first time you throw in a coin, it is said, guarantees that you will see Rome again. Don’t miss the Piazza Navona, a gallery in and of itself of Baroque architecture. Originally built on top of the Stadium of Domitian, the Piazza Navona is a beloved public space that boasts several fountains, including the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (known as The Fountain of the Four Rivers), the Fontana del Moro, and Fountain of Neptune.

Rome’s favorite monuments have a timeless personality, especially at night. After the sun sets, beholding the cornerstones of Rome’s history establishes the impression that these structures remain steady and proud from one day to the next, and they have done so for centuries or even millennia. In this way, the night sets the perfect scene to showcase Rome’s enduring nature.
