Tours of Rome at night. Rome by night: feel like an Italian Night tour of Rome

Daytime Rome is a tense hum, the ringing of bells, traffic jams in the center, the desire of everyone to be everywhere and on time, some anarchy everywhere, and sometimes you get the false feeling that everyone interferes with each other. By seven p.m., the average resident Eternal City incredible fatigue accumulates, but at the same time - a joyful anticipation of the coming calm: the mess is over. The doors of ministries and banks slammed shut, shadows grew and covered the city from the scorching sun, lights came on, queues and crowds in the subway disappeared, and the twinkling satellites of romance - the stars - rose in the high sky above the city.

Guests of Rome also do not intend to waste a minute of precious time. They clearly understand: in the evening there is certainly no need to rush anywhere, it is better to go with the flow, with curious eyes wide open. And for the highlight - look at the city from an unexpected perspective. “Come on, is he so beautiful in artificial light? And where is the romance that everyone talks and writes about? Shouldn’t we become masters of the night city in the literal sense of the word?”

Yes, definitely! Night Rome belongs to tourists by definition. This is not written down anywhere, but it is in the air. And certainly the city in the rays of lanterns becomes softer, friendlier, and its feminine principle, preserved in the affectionate name Roma, acquires a special intimate appeal. If you have already seen the city during the day, you will be interested in watching how the abundance of buildings, monuments and churches is replaced in the darkness by the pinpoint fragments of history and architectural details snatched from the darkness, which, on a whim, night directors Rima are painted in soft pastel colors.

Shall we take a risk? We are waiting for an excursion for the soul and for the heart. They will help us.

What we will see along the excursion route

We will see what we we want look. We will think over an excursion plan taking into account your interests. We suggest (and back it up with photographs) to visit, first of all, those places in Rome to which Foreign tourists with the onset of dusk they rush in first. And here advertising, believe me, does not play any role. In the center of Rome there are zones of night magnetism that cannot be bypassed without losing some of the pleasure of contemplating beauty. Trevi Fountain in elegant lighting, Piazza Navona in a cozy and unobtrusive decoration of the rays, Saint Paul's Cathedral, raised high by the rays of searchlights, Spanish Square in the multicolor and coloring of voices and costumes, Venice Square and the Vittoriano complex in the middle of the stage...

However, this is only part of it. The fact is that the great architects of the Eternal City always followed one simple rule: Rome is a theater with many stages. And the city’s lighting designers tried to extend this daytime splendor for all 24 hours and 365 days a year.
