Overview
Escape the downtown Rome crowds and head off the beaten track to discover one of the city's most infamous districts. The Esposizione Universale di Roma (better known by its acronym, EUR) was commissioned by Italian dictator Benedito Mussolini in the 1930s to showcase architecture that portrayed his fascist ideologies. Today, it is a thriving commercial suburb. On this four-hour walking tour, visit EUR's Square Colosseum, the Via dei Fori Imperial road and much more. As you explore, your guide will give insight into the historical and political significance of its buildings and monuments.

Mussolini hizo un lago y diseñó esta zona de la ciudad onde querían hacer la Exposición Universal de Roma en 1942 pero debido a la II Guerra Mundial esto no fue así y quedó inconclusa. Aún así ves grandes edificios cuadrados, con grandes ventanas cuadradas, calles amplias, ....que evocan el pasado fascista...ahora en algunos vive gente, hay oficinas, etc...No verás tanta gente como en la zona de la Roma antigua, menos turistas y más tranquilo...pero ya sabes evoca el pasado fascista de Roma.

The tour was wonderful, much better than expected. It was raining so we didn't walk but were driven around different neighborhoods in Rome that we would have never seen otherwise, including EUR, Foro Italico and Coppede. As architects, we obviously enjoyed the buildings but were also delighted with the amount of information on the Fascist Era and World War II. Our tour guide Max was excellent!
