The seat of beauty, history and community values, piazzas have a special place in the heart of Roman people. Locals gather in these marvellously designed forums to wind down after daily work and licking on gelatos, people-watch, gossip or just soak in the charming aura. Piazza is the place to be if you wish to get a real feel of the pulse of the ancient city. Most of these squares are home to iconic art and architecture. So, you can explore local culture and historical grandeur all at once; Rome evening tours combine these two aspects of the city really well, exposing tourists to the typical Italian la dolce vita.
Begin your Piazza hopping tour with Piazza Navona, Rome’s best loved piazza. The resplendence of Piazza Navona will sweep you off your feet! Cradled by stunning baroque architecture, graced by the symbolic Fountain of Four Rivers and dotted with eateries, bars, kiosks and entertainers – this piazza should be in your list of must-visits in the Eternal City!
You can also complete tours of the Pantheon before heading to Piazza Navona. Located few minutes from the square, this monument was built as a temple to ‘’honour all Gods’’ and was later converted to a church to prevent destruction. Even after two thousand years of its construction, it remains one of best preserved buildings from ancient Rome, manifesting the elegance and harmony of traditional Roman-style architecture remarkably well.
In case it gets late completing the sightseeing nearby, there’s no need to think you’re missing out on anything. Piazza Navona becomes more charming and happening after sundown!
