Tiber River Cruise
A short sightseeing boat trip along the Tiber through central Rome.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling with kids and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
Best understood as a sunset-and-aperitivo float rather than a sightseeing must — board near Ponte Sant'Angelo (Battelli di Roma run the main central service) for a glass of prosecco as you drift past Castel Sant'Angelo and the bridges in the golden hour.
Our read - 02
The one caveat to set first: the Tiber runs below tall embankment walls, so you see bridges and riverbanks more than the famous skyline.
