This is where history and happy hour collide. You'll hear stories featuring the city’s most unsavoury characters, bloody power struggles, and saucy scandals before heading to atmospheric bars to experience the best of Roman nightlife. You’ll taste authentic Italian drinks like local wine, spritz, sambuca, and limoncello, all the while getting to know like-minded travellers.
