First Wellness-Focused Set Jet Through The “Roman Holiday”: New Cinematic Running Tour Through Rome by ArcheoRunning
While “set jet” travel has made Roman Holiday tours abundant in Rome, ArcheoRunning introduces the first wellness-focused cinematic experience that combines cardio fitness with cultural immersion. ArcheoRunning invites travelers to re-discover the beloved 1953 Oscar-winning film with its active “Roman Holiday” tour. While Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck will only be joining this tour in spirit, the magic of classic cinema with Rome’s timeless beauty offers participants a unique way to experience the “Eternal City.”
Founded by Isabella Calidonna, PhD in Art History, certified archaeologist, and licensed tour guide, ArcheoRunning has been showcasing Rome’s hidden treasures since 2016. The new Roman Holiday tour represents the perfect fusion of Calidonna’s expertise in art history, archaeology, and her passion for bringing Rome’s stories to life through movement. This tour was created to evoke one of cinema’s most beautiful love letters to Rome – a film that made the city a coveted destination for travelers worldwide. The Roman Holiday tour takes participants through a carefully curated route including the exact filming locations of the 1953 romantic comedy, including:
- Via Margutta – Location of Joe Bradley’s apartment
- Spanish Steps and Trinità dei Monti – The iconic staircase featured in the film
- Trevi Fountain – Rome’s most famous fountain and cinematic landmark
- Pantheon – Ancient Roman temple and nearby Café Rocca location
- Piazza Venezia – Where Princess Ann drives off with the famous scooter
- Teatro di Marcello – Ancient Roman theater featured in the scooter scenes
- Bocca della Verità – The legendary “Mouth of Truth” from the film’s most memorable scene
Roman Holiday won three Academy Awards and established many of these locations as must-see destinations for visitors to Rome. The trek reveals fascinating details about the 1953 production, which served as a showcase for Rome’s beauty to international audiences. Participants gain insight into how these locations served both as backdrops for cinematic magic and witnesses to centuries of Roman history. Available as both a running tour and walking tour, the experience accommodates all fitness levels while maintaining ArcheoRunning’s signature style of combining physical activity with rich historical storytelling.
