Rome: Night Bus Tour

Additional Information & Description

Rome’s illuminated landmarks give this 90-minute night bus tour its appeal. Ride through the city on an open-top red bus, taking in the sights after dark rather than visiting them on foot. The evening setting brings a different perspective to a sightseeing journey through Rome.

See Rome’s landmarks after dark

The tour takes in Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colosseum and the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran, alongside the Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona. These named sights bring churches, an ancient amphitheatre and public squares into the same evening outing. The focus is on seeing the city lit up from the bus, with the open-top setting placing the surrounding streets and landmarks in view.

Listen to the stories behind the sights

Audio commentary accompanies the journey, telling stories about the locations you see along the way. Choose from eight languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Headphones are included, so the narration forms part of the tour rather than an extra to arrange. A sightseeing app and onboard WiFi are also included with the bus ride.

Where to arrive and how to use your ticket

Go to Via Giolitti, 32 for the start of the tour, and arrive 20 minutes before departure. Allow for that arrival time in addition to the 90-minute ride when planning your evening. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. The tour is wheelchair accessible.

What remains outside the tour

This is a sightseeing bus tour, not admission to the attractions along the route: attraction tickets are excluded. Food and drinks are not included either. Hotel pickup and drop-off are also excluded, so you will need to make your own travel arrangements to the starting location and after the tour.
