Rome after dark: legends and mysteries walk

Central Rome's stories, after the crowds go home

An evening walk where history, legend and Rome's darker reputation meet. The guide uses lanes, squares and the riverside to tell the stories.

The route passes Campo de' Fiori, Piazza Farnese, Via Giulia and the streets around Castel Sant'Angelo. No sights are entered; the appeal is the centre's atmosphere at night.

A good plan before dinner, or a break from a museum-heavy day.
