City Center Walking Tour
🚌 Getting here
If you find yourself near any of the churches below, jump right in. I suggest starting at San Salvatore because it's easy to wander over to the Bridge of the Angels in front of Castel Sant'Angelo from the Vatican, and San Salvatore is just around the corner.
Tip: Don't get so focused on your destination that you fail to enjoy the walk. Look around - right, left, down, up! Put down your camera and your phone and take in all your surroundings while walking through Rome. Think of the saints who have walked those cobblestones; keep your eyes out for one of the thousands of Madonnelle, the ancient street shrines on corners and the sides of buildings; look for the brass cobblestones that mark where Holocaust victims lived or worked before being taken to the death camps.
Let's start with an Apostle, shall we?
The Church of San Salvatore in Lauro is a classic Rome "off-the-beaten path but right in plain site. Many people miss this little jewel of a church.
