Rome may be the world’s most breathtaking city by day, but as night falls, a darker, more ominous side emerges. Ghosts of popes, emperors, and artists haunt its streets, their lives marked by tragedy and conspiracy over more than 2,000 years of history. Our Rome Ghost Tour is not for the faint of heart—prepare to hear chilling tales of beheadings and murders that may leave you restless at night.
Your journey begins at Campo de’ Fiori, a central square steeped in history. Here, you’ll hear the story of Giordano Bruno, one of Rome’s greatest minds who met a tragic fate at the hands of the church. From there, you’ll explore the city’s shadowy past, wandering through medieval alleyways, visiting an ancient church adorned with skulls, and stepping inside the home of a mysterious order of monks. You’ll discover the childhood home of one of Rome’s most notorious executioners, see the site of a notorious prison, and pass by a deadly perfumery where cosmetics proved fatal.
The tour concludes at the formidable Castel Sant’Angelo.
Here, your guide will recount the gruesome tales of Rome’s most horrifying executions. If you’re (un)fortunate, you might even encounter a ghost or two.
One thing is certain: after this tour, you’ll never look at Rome the same way again.
