Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting and ending at the 'You are now entering Free Garbatella' sign, this 1.6 km loop of about 50 minutes passes the Albergo Rosso, Jerico's Supernova and the Sten & Lex mural. Street art fans and repeat visitors get working-class Rome and its anti-fascist resistance story, away from the centre. If you want classic monuments or will start after 4PM, when the last part may close, choose another quest.

Frequently asked questions
What is there to do in Garbatella?
This walk covers 12 stops in the most characteristic parts of Garbatella. You see murals by artists such as Sten & Lex, Jerico, Lolo & Diamond and Luis Gomez, plus the Albergo Rosso, the CSOA Della Strada and the Garden of Grandad Franco, while learning how the area developed and resisted over 100 years.
Is this a street art tour of Rome?
Yes. It is a self-guided street art walk in Garbatella, outside the historic centre. Murals on the route include Supernova by Jerico, a 2013 work by Sten & Lex, AmoreEtCura by Carlos Atoche, and murals of Enrico Mancini, Alfredino Rampi and Article 2 of the Constitution.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The route starts and finishes at the sign reading "YOU ARE NOW ENTERING FREE GARBATELLA", so you end where you began. The walk is about 1.6 km and takes about an hour at a relaxed pace, longer if you stop for photos of the murals.
Do we need to book a time, and when is best to play?
There is no time slot to book; you start whenever you like and can pause and continue later. The route is open around the clock but is better in daylight, and the last part of the game might not be available after 4 PM, so starting earlier in the day is safest.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. You play on your phones with no guide or group to join, and one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated. Everyone follows the same route, hears the story of each stop and works through the puzzles together.
Is this a guided street-art history tour?
No. It is an app-guided outdoor game that uses the neighbourhood’s atmosphere and locations, not a guide-led lecture.
Can we start whenever we want?
Yes. You follow the clues independently, with no scheduled group or guide to meet.
How many tickets does our group need?
This classic quest sells access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
