Step into the timeless charm of Siena on this immersive virtual walking tour through one of Italy’s most enchanting historic cities. With its graceful pace, medieval streets, and remarkably preserved architecture, Siena feels like a place where centuries of history unfold naturally with every step.
We’ll wander through the city’s historic core, following narrow contrade and evocative alleys that open onto Siena’s most iconic landmarks. From the celebrated Piazza del Campo, famed for its shell-shaped design and deep-rooted traditions, to the impressive façade of the Duomo, the city reveals layers of art, power, and civic pride.
In January, Siena takes on a quieter, more intimate character. The rhythm slows, crowds thin out, and the city feels authentically local — a moment when its medieval soul emerges with clarity and calm.
As we walk, stories of rivalries, traditions, and everyday life help illuminate Siena’s unique identity. This virtual experience is perfect for those who love art, history, and atmosphere — an invitation to discover the very best of Siena, comfortably from home.

Join us for a fascinating virtual journey through Rome, a city whose greatness was built not only on power and empire, but on water. From monumental aqueducts to luxurious baths and imperial palaces, Rome is truly a city shaped by water.
In this virtual tour, we’ll explore how the ancient Romans mastered water engineering, creating an extraordinary network of aqueducts that supplied the city with fresh water and transformed daily life. We’ll uncover the role of the great Roman thermae, where bathing was both a social ritual and a symbol of civilization, comfort, and prestige.
Our journey also leads us to the opulent Domus Aurea, Nero’s legendary palace, where water features, fountains, and artificial lakes were designed to astonish visitors and express imperial power on an unprecedented scale.
We then descend beneath modern Rome to discover Trevi Underground, known as Vicus Caprarius — a hidden archaeological site beneath the Trevi area where ancient structures, flowing water, and a still-active aqueduct reveal Rome’s continuous relationship with water from antiquity to today. Here, the city’s hydraulic genius is visible below street level, quietly flowing through centuries of history.
This immersive virtual journey reveals Rome through water, tracing its path from ancient engineering to imperial power and everyday life, and uncovering a unique side of the Eternal City — all from the comfort of home.
