Fright night in Rome

Holidaymakers looking for an Italian getaway with a spooky twist may enjoy a tour with a difference around Rome when they visit the city.

In a post on the Guardian Travel website, Sissi explains that tourists may wish to go on a night-time ghosts and mystery walk around the famous capital.

She explains that as the imagination takes over, the guide is able to provide an entertaining side to Rome that may not have been realised during daylight hours.

The writer adds that particular landmarks of interest on the tour are the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and the Campo de Fiori.

"This tour will take you down paths less trodden and provide you with a different outlook of Rome and its superb landmarks," Sissi notes, adding: "This is a really cool way to explore this magnificent city, especially if you have children."
