Ghost & Mystery Free Tour of Rome
Discover Rome after dark on a journey through its most chilling stories and legends. Ghosts, executions, poisoners, restless souls and forgotten crimes reveal the darker side of the Eternal City.
When night falls, Rome changes. The crowds disappear, the streets grow quieter, and centuries of dark stories begin to feel much closer.
Join our Ghosts, Legends and Mysteries of Rome Free Walking Tour and follow the shadows of the Eternal City through Castel Sant’Angelo, Via Giulia and Campo de’ Fiori. Hear the tragic story of Beatrice Cenci, discover the world of Mastro Titta, Rome’s legendary executioner, and uncover the macabre history of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte, where a confraternity once collected and buried the city’s abandoned dead.
As we wander through Rome’s atmospheric streets, you’ll hear tales of restless spirits, mysterious deaths and Giulia Tofana, the woman behind the infamous Aqua Tofana poison.
We finish in Campo de’ Fiori, once a place of public executions, where Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in 1600 and where his dark statue still watches over the square today.
Ghosts, true crime, legends and mysteries — discover the stories that haunt Rome after dark.
