Via Giulia - What To Know BEFORE You Go

The basics

Running parallel to the Tiber River for about half a mile (almost 1 kilometer), Via Giulia is often featured in walking, e-bike, or Segway tours of Rome’s characteristic historic center. Those looking for thrills and chills can opt for a ghost or haunted walking tour of Rome by night that touches on mysterious and legend-laden sights on and around Via Giulia. A popular option for foodies is a market tour and cooking class in nearby Campo de’ Fiori. Highlights along the route include Michelangelo’s Arco Farnese, the adjoining Palazzo Farnese, and the 17th-century Fontana del Mascherone. Other architectural gems include Palazzo Falconieri, the baroque Santa Maria dell'Orazione Church, and Palazzo Sacchetti.
