Rome's Best Travel Routes

Seeing Rome from the Tiber is like pressing pause on the city’s noise. From April to October, small boats glide beneath its bridges—from Isola Tiberina to Castel Sant’Angelo, and sometimes farther toward the ancient port of Ostia Antica. The view reveals a quieter Rome: tree-lined embankments, forgotten stairways, and façades usually hidden by traffic. Some cruises offer commentary, others serve as simple ferries—slow, steady, and reflective. The river’s pace is Rome’s original rhythm, and drifting along it reminds you that the Eternal City was born from water before it ever became stone.
