What to expect
Download the audio files and map before you set out, then plug in your headphones and start walking. The narration contextualises what you're seeing—the layers of power, violence and creation that built Rome street by street. You'll move through busy quarters and quieter corners, witnessing the physical evidence of emperors and popes. The audio is structured so you can stop it whenever you want: sit down for lunch, duck into a shop, or just stand and watch the city move around you. Two hours is the standard runtime, but you control the pace entirely.
