Rome: Open-Bus Night City Tour

About this experience

Rome Open-Top Night Bus Tour Tickets Book this 90-minute open-top night bus tour to see Rome at its most atmospheric, when the Colosseum, the imperial forums and the great basilicas are floodlit and the daytime crowds have gone home. You ride on the open upper deck of a double-decker bus, with an audio guide in 11 languages telling the stories behind each landmark as it glides past. It is an easy way to cover a lot of the city in one evening, whether it is your first night in Rome or your last. Tours run in the evening, usually starting at 8pm, and you choose your date when you book. You get on the bus beside Termini station and get off at the same spot at the end, so the ride fits neatly before or after dinner. It suits couples, families and anyone whose feet need a rest after a long day of sightseeing on foot. What You See on the Night Route The route sweeps through the historic centre and past many of the sights you came to Rome for, all lit up after dark: Santa Maria Maggiore: one of Rome's four papal basilicas, glowing above the square just minutes from the start. The Colosseum and Fori Imperiali: the amphitheatre and the ancient forums along Via dei Fori Imperiali, at their most dramatic under floodlights. Circus Maximus and the Pyramid of Cestius: the old chariot-racing ground and Rome's surprising ancient pyramid. Piazza Venezia and Castel Sant'Angelo: the white Vittoriano monument, then the papal fortress on the Tiber. Via Veneto, Piazza Barberini and Piazza della Repubblica: the glamorous street of La Dolce Vita, Bernini's Triton Fountain and the illuminated Fountain of the Naiads. Want to step inside the monuments you pass? Pair your evening ride with Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tickets, or explore on foot with a Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon walking tour.

Look for the green open-top bus and arrive 15 minutes before your start time, since seats on the upper deck go first. Evenings on the open deck can feel cool, even in summer, so bring a light jacket, and take a camera or phone for night photos of the floodlit monuments.
