Flexible TravelRome can be an expensive city to visit.
Its museums, galleries, and restaurants have mastered the art of milking tourists for money, especially for this year's Jubilee, when millions of pilgrims are expected to grace the city. But don't worry if you're visiting Rome on a budget in 2025. This article is full of great free or budget-friendly things to do in Rome that won't burn a hole in your wallet.
This guide was written by Alexander Meddings, a travel writer based in Rome. All of our articles are authored by local writers who know their cities inside out & provide commission-free recommendations.
The Aventine Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is one of the city's most peaceful and picturesque neighbourhoods. Rising between the River Tiber to the west and the valley of the Circus Maximus to the east, the hill extends from Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, home to the secret keyhole, to the Rose Gardens overlooking the Palatine Hill.
The Rose Garden of Rome is a beautiful space in springtime when more than 1,000 species of roses are in bloom. Originally a Jewish graveyard, today the garden is arranged with pathways which, when viewed from above, form a giant menorah to commemorate its former use. From the garden, you have an excellent view of the Circus Maximus and the imperial palace of the Palatine Hill behind.
ℹ️ Pro tip: The best viewpoints of Rome's skyline are from the Aventine Hill and Janiculum Hill 📷
The not-so-secret ‘Secret Keyhole’ is in the gate of the priory of the Knights of Malta on the Aventine hill. Put your eye to the keyhole and you'll see a perfectly framed view that spans three countries: standing in Italy, you can see the official territory of Malta and the independent state of the Vatican.
The Aventine Hill also has an Orange garden with a viewing terrace overlooking the city. Beside the Orange Garden is one of Rome's oldest churches, Santa Sabina, which dates back to the 5th century CE. Often overlooked, it has a simple design with tombs laid directly into the floor and the original wooden doors.
Campo dei Fiori hosts a daily market (Monday to Saturday until mid-afternoon) that's a colourful explosion of fresh fruit and vegetables, pasta and oils to take home for presents. The square itself is in the oldest medieval part of town and is a pleasure to explore the winding cobbled streets.

If souvenir shopping is high on your to-do list, check out Porta Portese market in Trastevere. Open on Sundays from 7 am to 2 pm, the flea market sells everything from second-hand clothes to antiques.
ℹ️ Pro tip: Get there early to grab yourself a bargain!
Just across the river is the district of Testaccio, whose famous covered market specialises in street food. This is a good place to take a self-guided food tour, stopping at each stall to taste a different local speciality. If you want to do as the Romans do, Mordi & Vai famous among locals for Roman street food and have a Panino con la trippa (tripe sandwich).

If you like Slow Food or the Zero Km concept where you buy food directly from small local producers, make sure to check out the weekend market of Campagna Amica near the Circus Maximus. Open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 am until 3 pm, the market sells local produce including bread, cheese, cold meats, and even homemade wine! You can even try before you buy. 😉
ℹ️ Pro tip: Grab a seat in Campagna Amica's food court and enjoy lunch and a glass of wine in the sun.
Simply wandering around the city will bring you face-to-face with piazzas with beautiful fountains to discover, charming backstreets that take you back to a simpler time. But walking around on your own robs you of the context that gives you the most out of the city.
Starting from as little as €5 per person, our walking tours are great ways to see the highlights of the Eternal City with an expert who'll provide fun facts and vital context.

Staying in accommodation that doesn't include breakfast? Don't worry.
Italian breakfasts are cheerfully cheap, rarely costing more than €5 per person.
Typically, an espresso shot (caffè) will set you back €1.20 while a cappuccino shouldn't cost more than €1.70. The cornetto that goes with it shouldn't be more than €2, and you'll be spoiled for choice since most come filled with cream, jam, or even nutella.

Cornetto and a coffee: a classic Italian breakfast
If you need a morning shot of Vitamin C, ask for a spremuta d'arancia (freshly squeezed orange juice), which will range from €2 to €5, depending on where you go.
ℹ️ Pro tip: Sitting down for breakfast often costs extra. Consume at the bar to save money.
Eating out on a budget can feel pretty limiting. But street food in Rome doesn't have to break the bank.
Enjoying artisan gelato on a Food Tour
Even at the most artisanal of Roman gelato parlours, you'll never pay more than a few Euros. Below is a map of our favourite gelato spots in Rome. Or follow this link for our Guide to Rome's Best Gelato.
Rome is home to some 986 churches, even if you are not religious you should check out a few because you never know what stunning artwork you may find by famous artists. Rome is unique in Italy in that every single church is free (except for the Sistine Chapel).
Because chapels are mostly covered in marble on the inside, they are often the coolest places in Rome during summer. Make sure to take scarves with you to cover knees and shoulders as a certain dress code is expected inside catholic churches. Here is a list of churches not to miss.
You might be surprised to learn that entry to Saint Peter's Basilica is free. However, in high season you should expect long queues unless you go very early or very late in the day. Inside are a wealth of artworks in the private chapels, the most well-known is, of course, the Pietà by Michelangelo.
The Baroque sculptor Bernini also adorned many chapels with elegant sculptures, but the most impressive of his work inside is the huge bronze Baldachin, a 30m canopy that stands over the tomb of Saint Peter.
.webp&w=1920&q=75)
Bernini's Baldachin in St Peter's Basilica
You can also visit the creepy papal crypts below.
Situated smack bang in Rome's historic centre, the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi contains three pieces by Caravaggio: The Inspiration of St Matthew, the Calling of St Matthew, and the Martyrdom of St Matthew. You may have to spend €1 to light up the paintings if it is a dull day!
Saint Matthew from the Caravaggio Cycle in San Luigi dei Francesi
The Church of Santa Maria del Popolo at the head of Piazza del Popolo also contains works by Caravaggio and Bernini among others including Algardi, Pinturicchio and a dome decorated by Raphael. For Dan Brown fans this church is a must as it features in the diabolical movie Angels and Demons.
View of Rome's Pantheon from Piazza del Pantheon
Situated behind the Pantheon, Santa Maria Sopra Minerva (Saint Mary above Minerva) is a deceptively large church. Inside you will find a statue of Christ by Michelangelo while standing in front of the church you can also marvel at the elephant and obelisk by Bernini.
This church also shows us some historical information, on the side of the church you will find a number of plaques from the 15th and 16th centuries showing the height of floodwaters in Rome. This is the lowest part of the city and so was often flooded when the Tiber burst its banks.
You can't miss the charming Elephant and Obelisk Statue in the square outside the church.
Exploring the Appian Way is among the most rewarding and affordable things to do in Rome. The ancient road is lined with catacombs, tombs, and villas just waiting to be explored by those who venture outside the city. You can comfortably cycle to the end of the Appian Way and back in three hours, but leave yourself a couple more to stop off and have a picnic lunch and explore some of the sites along the way.
.webp&w=2048&q=75)
Cycling along the Appian Way
‘Traffic’ on the Appian Way
Bike rental from the visitor's centre on the Appian Way starts from just €4 per hour (€16 for the day).
To get the most out of the Appian Way, take a private tour with an English mothertongue historian.
On the porch of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin is the Bocca Della Verita or Mouth of Truth, a large marble disk with a snarling bearded face. According to a medieval legend, anyone who placed their hand inside its mouth after telling a lie would have their hand bitten off. Made famous by the movie Roman Holiday, there is often a line today and a small cost of €2 to enter.
Rest assured that you will not lose your hand.
You will however be inserting your hand into an ancient sewer cover. 🥲

Every Wednesday morning the pope makes a formal address in St Peter’s Square, hundreds of chairs are lined up in the piazza to seat the public. Attending a Papal Audience is free, but you must get tickets in advance.

Most museums in Rome require tickets, but state museums and sites are free on the First Sunday of the month. The Vatican Museums also opens on the last Sunday of the month without charge, but be prepared to queue.
The following smaller and slightly quirky museums are always free:
Museo Storico della Liberazione documents the Nazi occupation of Rome through documents and photographs. The museum is set within the former SS headquarters where members of the Italian Resistance were interrogated, tortured, and executed. It also covers the Jewish persecutions and anti-Semitic orders of the time.
Museo Barracco, the Barracco Museum of Antique Sculpture, is a private collection of over 400 pieces given to the Italian state in 1902. It has a fine collection of Egyptian, Assyrian and Phoenician art, as well as Greek sculptures from the classical period.
Museo Carlo Bilotti is a modern art gallery set in the orangery in Villa Borghese. Named after the Cosmetics buyer and passionate art collector Carlo Bilotti, it exhibits works collected by various artists including Giorgio De Chirico, Gino Severini, Andy Warhol and Larry Rivers.
Museo Napoleonico, as the name suggests, is dedicated to Napoleon and the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy. This small elegant museum family focuses on Napoleonic ties and influence in Rome and often hosts temporary art exhibitions.
Museo Hendrik Christian Andersen is dedicated to the Norwegian sculptor and artist Hendrik Christian Andersen moved to Rome in the 1890s and would stay for 50 years. It houses over 200 classically themed sculptures in marble and bronze and a collection of his paintings.
Museo Boncompagni Ludovisi is dedicated to the decorative arts, clothing and Italian fashion. The museum is set in a villa with original furnishing tapestries, paintings and ceramics including Italian fashion from the 1900s to the present.
Museo delle Mura, the Museum of the Walls, is an archaeological museum in the Aurelian Walls housed in the Porta San Sebastiano at the beginning of the Appian Way. Here you can walk on top of the walls and visit the museum explaining defence in the Roman empire and how the Aurelian walls of 275 AD protected Rome for over 1500 years.

Did you know that Rome is just a 40-minute and €1.50 train ride from the beach? If the city centre is too sweltering, take a train from San Paolo station (next to the Piramide metro) until you reach Ostia Lido. Don't expect the Bahamas. But if picnics, Peroni, and a day spent swimming and socialising sounds right up your street, Ostia is the perfect stretch of coastline for you!

Channel your inner-Maximus as you step out onto the Colosseum Arena floor and access this recently reopened area of the world famous amphitheatre. Then, explore the rest of the heart of ancient Rome, with a friendly, expert guide and a small group of like-minded travellers!
Unlike regular tours of the Colosseum, our Colosseum Arena Tour gets you straight inside the ancient amphitheatre and out onto the arena floor through the Gladiator’s Gate. This is the route the gladiators themselves took almost 2,000 years ago. Imagine the moment they left the gates, and were greeted by the cheers and jeers of 50,000 bloodthirsty spectators.
Your expert guide will transport you back in time to the height of the Roman Empire when the Colosseum was constructed. These were times when Rome was ruled by all-powerful emperors (sometimes wise, sometimes wacky), the city was flooded with exotic riches from around the world, and the Colosseum acted as the city’s main stage for showing off the animals and people that Rome had conquered and captured.
After a short 30-minute break, we’ll head off on the next part of the tour…
Next, we’ll climb the Palatine Hill, where the ancient city was founded. The Palatine Hill is a real archaeological wonder, home to settlements from the Iron Age to the 16th century. Gaze upon such sites as the Hut of Romulus, Rome’s legendary founder, and the Imperial Palace, where the emperors in their family engaged in ruling, politicking, and scheming. Get your camera at the ready – you really can’t beat these views!
The final destination on our Colosseum Arena Tour is the Roman Forum. As the beating heart of ancient Rome, the Roman Forum was once a bustling hub of markets, law courts, temples, and more. It was here that Julius Caesar was cremated, where victorious triumphs paraded with the spoils of Roman conquests, here where two disgraced emperors were murdered in 69 AD, and here where Cicero delivered the speeches that shaped western culture for centuries.
When our tour is over, feel free to stay and explore the Roman Forum at your own pace.

Finished off with a sprinkle of cocoa, these delicious desserts are set aside to rest in time for an after-dinner energy boost. In fact, the espresso within a tiramisù is what gives it a name that translates literally as “pick me up”!
Rolling up our sleeves, here is where we channel our inner nonna. Mixing, kneading, rolling, and shaping our fresh pasta from scratch will work up a sweat but result in elegant end products. We will then combine these carefully crafted creations with the flavors of the season and locality; be it twangy cacio e pepe or creamy carbonara.

Join us on a journey through Roman history on our immersive Rome by Night Walking Tour. Your expert guide will share the city’s secrets, history, and fascinating tales—from antiquity through to the modern day, and at a pace to suit you.
Our tour starts in Rome’s most picturesque square, Piazza Navona, where the ancient Romans used to watch athletic contests (agones). Today’s piazza sits above the ancient stadium and boasts Gian Lorenzo Bernini‘s stunning Fountain of the Four Rivers as its centrepiece.
A five-minute walk from Piazza Navona takes us to the world-famous Pantheon. Constructed more than two-thousand years ago by the eccentric emperor Hadrian, the Pantheon was consecrated as a monument to all the pagan gods (pan theos, in Greek meaning all the gods). This second-century temple is one of the best-preserved monuments in the Roman Empire and its unreinforced concrete dome still perplexes architects.
Our next stop is the iconic Trevi Fountain. Immortalised by Anita Ekberg wading through its water in Federico Fellini’s iconic film La Dolce Vita, the Trevi Fountain one of the most romantic spots in the Eternal City. Snap your photos of the monument in the moonlight, listen to your guide decipher its symbols, and toss a coin over your shoulder to guarantee your return to Rome.
We emerge from Rome’s winding backstreets onto Piazza Venezia. Stretching from the foot of the Capitoline Hill, against the backdrop of the Altar of the Fatherland, Piazza Venezia is Rome’s most recognisable square, and a repository of history involving figures from Napoleon to Mussolini.
Your guide will lead you down the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the boulevard that cuts through ancient Rome, past Trajan’s Column and alongside the forums of Trajan, Augustus and Nerva. Your guide will feed your curiosity and nourish you with knowledge about ancient Rome and its empire as you make your way towards the most famous monument of all: the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is one of the most awe-inspiring attractions that has survived from antiquity. As a colossal feat of architecture and engineering, its form has been replicated throughout the ages, manifested in stadiums and sports venues around the world. But while its form is familiar to us, the spectacles it accommodated are entirely alien, and remind us of the violent nature of Roman culture.
Group sizes are 15 people maximum.

With a maximum of ten travellers per tour group, you’ll have the opportunity to ask plenty of questions. The price of the tour includes the tickets. If you’d like to join us on our Rome Catacombs Tour of the darkest, largest catacombs in Rome, book your spot now to make sure you don’t miss out!

Rome may well be the world’s most beautiful city, but after dark a more sinister side emerges. The ghosts of popes, emperors, and artists lurk on every corner, their lives claimed by tragedy and conspiracy across more than 2,000 years of history. Our Rome Ghost Tour is not for the faint hearted — you’ll hear the ghastly tales of beheadings and murder that are sure to keep you up late at night.
Your Rome Ghost Tour starts at Campo de’ Fiori, a central square, where you’ll be treated to the tale of Giordano Bruno, one of Rome’s greatest minds who got on the wrong side of the church. After learning about his grisly end, you’ll begin to explore the city. Venture through medieval backstreets; visit an ancient church adorned with skulls; and step inside the home to a mysterious order of monks. Discover the childhood home of one of Rome’s most infamous executioners; see the site of one of Rome’s most infamous prisons; and pass by a poisonous perfumery where cosmetics killed.
Your tour ends at the imposing Castel Sant’Angelo, where your guide will reveal the horror of Rome’s most disturbing executions. If you’re (un)lucky, you might even encounter a ghost or two.
No matter what, you’ll never see Rome the same way again.

After exploring the Colosseum, we’ll climb the Palatine Hill to discover the birthplace of the ancient city. Here, your storyteller guide will recount the mythical foundation of Rome, the legend of Romulus and Remus, and the stories of the emperors who resided on the Palatine, like Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula. Next, we’ll explore the ruins of some of the most luxurious palaces in Roman history, the emperor’s residences on the Palatine Hill, from which we get our word ‘palace.’
Last but not least, we’ll head into the Roman Forum, the heart of the ancient city. Discover what life was really like for everyday Romans as we explore the social, religious, and political hub of the Roman Empire. Marvel at the remains of towering temples, triumphal arches, sprawling basilicas, and the ancient senate house as you walk on the very same stones that the likes of Caesar and Cicero once did.

After saying cheers—salute—we’ll head into Monti, an uber-trendy district filled with quirky bars and cobblestoned streets, and plenty to unpack.
