Walking in Rome

Rome is the most rewarding city in Europe to explore on foot. Ancient ruins, Baroque piazzas and medieval lanes sit side by side, and the best of the centre lies within a long walk of the Pantheon.

Surfaces. Basalt cobbles (sampietrini) cover much of the centre. They are uneven and slippery when wet; wear comfortable shoes with good soles.

Hills. The centre around the Pantheon is mostly level, but the Capitoline, Palatine, Quirinal and Gianicolo hills all involve climbs and steps.
