One Hundred Audio Stories Across Fifty Places in Rome
A hundred recorded stories tied to fifty locations, which is roughly five times the coverage of a normal audio walk and the reason to choose this one. The famous stops are there, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, but so are the Aqueduct Park, Santa Costanza, the Janiculum, Villa Doria Pamphilj, three Tiber bridges and the Orange Garden on the Aventine. If you are in Rome for a week rather than a weekend, that is where the value sits. It runs in the browser with nothing to install. Headphones and a data connection are the whole requirement. Start where you are, stop when you want lunch, pick it up two days later in a different part of the city. The narration is written as storytelling with soundscapes behind it rather than as a list of dates, which works better while walking than a lecture does. Two practical notes. Activation is done by entering the last five digits of your phone number in the promo code field at App.trales.io after booking. And all sales are final: cancellations are not refunded.
What's included
- Web app with map
- Stories & guides about top sights, historic events & famous people

Rome
No meeting point. Start and stop wherever you like. A good opening is the Colosseum, then past the Roman Forum and on into the centre from there.
Pantheon
One of 100 location-based stories: The Pantheon, and what a temple to all the gods was actually for. Walk it at your own pace and in your own order. All you need is a phone with a connection and headphones. Nothing to download, it runs from the browser, and you can stop and restart wherever you like.
Colosseum
One of 100 location-based stories: The Colosseum, with the gladiators, the programme of a games day and the emperors who paid for it.

One of 100 location-based stories: The Roman Forum, the square that ran the empire for centuries, and how to read the ruins that are left of it.
Trevi Fountain
One of 100 location-based stories: The Trevi Fountain: where the water comes from, who built it and what the coins are about.
Spanish Steps
One of 100 location-based stories: The Spanish Steps, and why a staircase between a square and a church became the most famous one in Europe.

Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona a second time, for the buildings around the edge rather than the fountains in the middle.
