Highlights

Rome by day is all beauty and history. Rome by night? That’s when things get interesting. On this after-hours ghost tour, you’ll leave the crowds behind and step into a version of the city shaped by dark secrets, untimely deaths, and stories that never quite ended. With your interactive Ghost Hunter Kit in hand, you’ll learn how to spot the signs of spirits said to still linger in the Eternal City. You’ll follow a local guide on a haunted trail through the historic centre, where you'll walk past a chapel filled with human bones, across a bridge once lined with corpses, and into corners of Rome where the past feels uncomfortably present. Expect chilling tales of murder, betrayal, and execution. Brought to life through vivid storytelling and eerie visual recreations, these stories are far more than just history… they’re the kind that stay with you. Make it through the night, and you’ll earn a Certificate of Survival, if you make survive of course.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

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