Rome by boat

Roma in battello

Visiting Rome is always a unique opportunity for personal growth and enrichment. It is an experience to do at least once in life because Rome is a city that has a lot to offer. Its monuments, its streets, its churches, its culinary tradition, and the culture that you can breathe here combine to give shape to an unforgettable memory and the exciting story of a lifetime.

Boat trips are an opportunity to visit the city from a different and original point of view, departing from the Sant’Angelo boarding point you can reach the Tiberine Island. From Ponte Marconi, instead, it is possible to reach the Excavations of Ostia Antica, the Port of Traiano and the Mouth of the Tiber in the area of Fiumicino, to enjoy the flora and fauna bio-diversity and its incomparable archaeological heritage.

Water courses have always been a key element in the birth and development of civilizations. Rome is no exception: as a vital source, its river, the Tiber, has covered a fundamental role in the history of the imperial city as a primary communication route and a natural defence.

The myth refers to the Tiber from the foundation of Rome, when Romulus and Remus were abandoned on its banks. To the river was also dedicated the cult of the Pater Tiberinus, whose temple was located on the characteristic Tiberine Island.

Today its waters placidly cross the City, enclosed by the high walls built at the end of the 19th century. Many sections of its course are navigable and offer unique views and unusual itineraries for visits: history, nature and romance blend along its banks of rare beauty.
