Rome is a city of wonders, history, and breathtaking views—but let’s be honest, it can also be exhausting. With its cobblestone streets, rolling hills, and endless attractions, exploring the Eternal City can turn into an endurance test. But don’t worry! If you prefer a more relaxed approach, here’s how to see Rome’s best sights without too much walking.
Whether you’re here for a short visit, traveling with mobility concerns, or simply want to enjoy Rome without sore feet, these recommendations will ensure a fantastic experience.
One of the best ways to minimize walking in the Eternal City is to book a private transfer or a Rome private tour. Many companies offer chauffeured experiences that take you directly to Rome’s top spots without the hassle of navigating the city on foot. Consider options like:
By planning ahead and securing these services, you’ll save your energy for the moments that truly matter—soaking in the beauty of Rome without feeling drained.
If you’re arriving by car or transfer, Piazza Venezia is a great first stop. This central square is home to the massive Vittorio Emanuele II Monument, also known as the “Altar of the Fatherland”. You can admire its grandeur without needing to walk far, and if you want a spectacular view, take the elevator up to the terrace.
No trip to Rome is complete without seeing the Colosseum, and fortunately, it’s accessible even for those who prefer minimal walking.
Perhaps one of the easiest attractions to visit, the Trevi Fountain is only a few steps from where most private transfers can drop you off. Toss a coin for good luck—all without much walking!
The Pantheon is another must-see that requires very little walking. Inside, the stunning architecture and famous oculus will leave you in awe.
Nearby, you’ll find lovely cafés where you can sit and enjoy a coffee with a view.
If you want to experience Rome without long distances, Piazza Navona is perfect. It’s an open space filled with gorgeous fountains and street performers, and you can enjoy it while sitting at a restaurant terrace.
Visiting Vatican City usually involves a lot of walking, but there are ways to see its best parts without getting too tired:
The Spanish Steps are beautiful, but you don’t actually have to climb them to enjoy the view. Stand at the base, or find a nearby café and admire them while sipping a cappuccino.
If you do feel like going up, take your time and enjoy a rest—they were designed for lounging!
Just a short walk from St. Peter’s, Castel Sant’Angelo offers history, views, and an easy visit. If you don’t want to climb the upper terraces, the lower levels still offer fantastic experiences with minimal effort.
Trastevere is known for its charming streets, but you don’t need to wander far to experience its magic. Head to Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, sit with a gelato, and soak in the local vibe.
Rome is a city meant to be savored, and there’s no need to exhaust yourself to see its best parts. With private transfers, well-planned routes, and a focus on the most accessible spots, you can experience the Eternal City in total comfort.
