The experience

You sit inside a vintage Fiat 500 as the illuminated historic streets glide past the windows. From Piazza del Popolo the route runs past Castel Sant'Angelo, its round silhouette standing over the Tiber, and reaches St. Peter's Square, where the colonnades curve in an embracing semicircle. Then comes the climb up Janiculum Hill, where the night view over the city opens from the Acqua Paola Fountain.

Down past the Mouth of Truth and the green valley of the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum lights up ahead, and you stop there to see it glowing over the ancient arena. The Arch of Constantine follows, then Piazza Venezia with the Altar of the Fatherland. Your driver keeps sharing local curiosities as you go.

The last stretch brings the Trevi Fountain, where the stop lets you look at Oceanus on his shell chariot, then Piazza Navona with the Fountain of the Four Rivers, and finally the Pincio, where the Trinità dei Monti staircase unfolds below you.
