Højdepunkter

“Rome has opened my eyes to beauty,” said Hans Christian Andersen, one of the many literary geniuses who spent time in the Eternal City. Some of the world’s greatest writers and poets traveled to Rome on cultural pilgrimages, in search of art, history, beauty and, above all, inspiration for their own work. On this walking tour, you’ll follow in the footsteps of these famous writers, making your way past many of the city’s most iconic landmarks. You’ll find out where these writers lived and wrote their most famous lines, and where they drank coffee and met with other writers. As you stroll from Terrazza del Pincio where our tour starts to Piazza Barberini where it ends, you’ll see the sites that inspired their greatest masterpieces. Most of all, you’ll hear from these writers in their own words: from famous quotes and lines of poetry to snippets from letters they sent home describing their impressions of the city, what it meant to them, and how it influenced their work.

About Rom

Rom lægger næsten tre tusind års historie ind i én by, man kan gå rundt i, fra Colosseum og Forum til barokpladser og Vatikanets kunst.

Det antikke Rom er stadig synligt overalt. Colosseum, Forum Romanum og Palatinerhøjen ligger tæt sammen i byens hjerte, Pantheon står endnu med sin åbne oculus, og rester af templer og akvædukter dukker op mellem boligblokkene. På den anden side af Tiberen rummer Vatikanstaten Peterskirken, Vatikanmuseerne og Michelangelos loft i Det Sixtinske Kapel.

Top-ranked sights in Rom: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
