Immersive Rome Ghost Walking Tour with Haunted Sites
Description
Rome by day is all beauty and history. Rome by night? That’s when things get interesting. On this after-hours ghost tour, you’ll leave the crowds behind and step into a version of the city shaped by dark secrets, untimely deaths, and stories that never quite ended. With your interactive Ghost Hunter Kit in hand, you’ll learn how to spot the signs of spirits said to still linger in the Eternal City. You’ll follow a local guide on a haunted trail through the historic centre, where you'll walk past a chapel filled with human bones, across a bridge once lined with corpses, and into corners of Rome where the past feels uncomfortably present. Expect chilling tales of murder, betrayal, and execution. Brought to life through vivid storytelling and eerie visual recreations, these stories are far more than just history… they’re the kind that stay with you. Make it through the night, and you’ll earn a Certificate of Survival, if you make survive of course.

This is one of the most haunted apartment blocks in the city and was once the site of one the worst prison in Rome’s history.
