Summer in Italy’s capital of Rome marks a hot and busy city until the locals start to head for the seaside, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy things from a different point of view.
In fact, the eternal city offers some great experiences in summer, and it’s the perfect time to discover Rome by night.
Our colleagues at 06blog suggest hooking up with the Biciebike association to tour Rome by bicycle on Sunday nights, taking in the historical areas of Testaccio, Aventino and San Lorenzo, and of course the essential historical centre, Tevere and the areas of Prati/Delle Vittorie.
If you’re game, check out the Biciebike site, or even have a go yourself.
It sounds like something romantic to do in one of Italy’s most romantic cities and is the perfect chance to avoid the traffic and pollution of Rome during the day.
