Stop At: Angels & Demons Tour, Rome Italy

A unique and interesting way to go sightseeing in Rome, this ‘Angels and Demons’ tour is inspired by Dan Brown’s novel, but there is no requirement for having it read it or being a fan of Brown’s (although it may help!). It’s a memorable way to explore the city’s lovely squares, fountains, architecture and churches, made interesting with the twist of visiting lesser-known sites where pagan and Christian symbolism intertwine.

Stop At: Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo, Piazza del Popolo 12 Campo Marzio, 00187 Rome Italy

Your experience visiting the real-life locations that inspired the novel begins at Piazza del Popolo in the incredible Santa Maria del Popolo church. Here, your English-speaking guide will set the scene for your race against the clock through the eternal city. You’ll be invited to unlock centuries-old clues hidden in plain sight as you learn about Rome’s favorite sculptor: the inimitable Bernini.
