This convivial tour takes in some of our favourite bars and allows you to sample Italian ales from breweries in Lazio and throughout the bel paese. Not only will you get to enjoy a taste of the local beer scene, you’ll also discover Rome’s must-see hidden gems right around the corner from the main attractions.

Beer and crime

With the small group and a tour guide you’ll make beer stops during the tour, always moving at a comfortable pace. Our meeting spot is right by the area where Julius Caesar was stabbed to death, do you know where?

Rome’s beauty in the eye of the beer-holder

The next historical stop of our tour is Piazza Venezia, Rome’s most central hub and busiest intersection. The square is named after Palazzo Venezia, which was built by a Venetian cardinal in the 15th century but, these days, the most eye-catching monument in the area is the enormous Altare della Patria. Construction of this striking monument was completed in 1935 to an unsure Roman public who nicknamed it ‘The Typewriter’ for its hefty size and contrast to the style of other buildings nearby.   

From Piazza Venezia we will move to Piazza dei Ss.Apostoli – a famous square in Rome, full of history. In addition to the Basilica of the Holy Apostles, several buildings overlook the square, including Palazzo Odescalchi , Palazzo Colonna , Palazzo Guglielmi Gori , and Palazzo Riario Della Rovere.
But we are here for another reason, guess why?

From there you will follow your guide to the Piazza Mattei, walking within the Jewish Quarter to your first beer stop. Next in line is Piazza Venezia and Piazza Dei Santi Apostoli .
