Colossus of Nero

There's nothing here. That's the point. Where you're standing, there was once a bronze figure thirty meters tall — Nero's own likeness, built to greet visitors entering his private city within a…

Temple of Tellus

Before there was a Capitol, before there was a Forum, Romans had to make sense of the ground itself — and the ground had a…

San Francesco di Paola ai Monti

The Monti rione has always been a neighborhood that Rome's powerful passed through without stopping — which is precisely why the people who lived here built their own…

San Pietro in Vincoli

Chains are an odd thing to venerate. But that is exactly what this church was built to…

5

Trajan's Markets

What you're looking at was built, in part, to hold a hill in…

Piazza Venezia

Somewhere beneath the roar of traffic circling this piazza is a neighborhood that no longer exists — erased not by war, but by…

7

Palazzo dei Conservatori

Somewhere in this building, a bronze boy is bent over his own foot, pulling out a thorn — and he's been doing it for two thousand…

The Roman Forum

For centuries, this valley was the loudest place on earth — advocates shouting, merchants haggling, priests reading omens in silence while the crowd pressed in around…

Temple of Antoninus Pius and Faustina

141 AD: an emperor buries his wife and immediately commissions a temple in her name. That's not grief — that's…

Temple of Venus and Roma

The largest temple ever built in ancient Rome was dedicated not to Jupiter, not to Mars — but to a goddess of love and to the city…

13

Santo Stefano Rotondo

Charles Dickens walked out of this church and called its wall paintings "hideous" — and he meant it as a compliment to their…

San Clemente

Three religions, stacked like geological strata beneath your feet — and beneath those, a river you can hear but never…

Ludus Magnus

Beneath this sunken lot, men rehearsed dying — or, more precisely, rehearsed surviving long enough to be useful again…

Domus Aurea

The Colosseum was never meant to be seen all at once. The crowds, the fighters, the animals — all of it was staged, moved, hidden until the moment of spectacle…

Das sind die ersten Zeilen jedes Stopps. Die ganze Geschichte — und den Ton — hörst du in der App.

Wie lang ist der Spaziergang durch Colosseum?

Etwa 90 Minuten zu Fuß, mit 17 Stopps über 10.5 km. Du kannst pausieren und später weitermachen.

Was kommt in der Audiotour von Colosseum vor?

17 gesprochene Stopps, beginnend bei Colossus of Nero und endend bei Domus Aurea. Jeder Stopp spielt automatisch, sobald du da bist.

Brauche ich Internet oder mobile Daten?

Nein. Lade den Spaziergang einmal in der PodWalk-App herunter, dann läuft die Erzählung komplett offline — praktisch beim Roaming in Italien. GPS startet jeden Stopp, sobald du ankommst.

Ist die Audiotour von Colosseum kostenlos?

Der erste Spaziergang in PodWalk ist kostenlos. Danach gibt es einmalige Pässe ab €2,99 — kein Abo, nichts verlängert sich von allein.

Kann ich die Tour in meinem Tempo gehen?
