Overview

Solve the most famous murder mystery in Roman history.

Rome is a city of ghosts. On this interactive walking tour, step into the shadows to uncover the true story of Beatrice Cenci—a tale of scandal, murder, and execution that shocked Europe.

Why travelers love this Questo experience:

The Atmospheric Ghetto: Explore the Jewish Ghetto, one of Rome's oldest neighborhoods and home to the Cenci family.

The Execution Site: End at Campo de' Fiori, the square that was once the stage for brutal public executions.

Hidden Horrors: Discover Palazzo Cenci and eerie side streets most tourists miss.

100% Flexible: Avoid crowds. Explore the spooky side of Rome alone or with friends. Best played at night.

The Mission: Legend says Beatrice still haunts the bridge. Can you unlock the secrets of her curse?
