walking time, rome, from Termini to St Paul's?

I'm sure if you start walking from the Colosseum area to St. Paul's it would take over an hour... but you won't go direct, without stopping!

There's just too many sites in between: Colosseum, Forum, Palantine Hill, Circo Massimo, Campodoglio, Vittoriano, Theater of Marcellus, Jewish Ghetto, La Boca de Verdad, Largo de Argentina (Ceasar slain),Pantheon, Campo Fiori, Piazza Navona, and Casel Sant'Angelo ARE ALL between the Colosseum and St. Peters! And that's not everything!!

And then there's ALL the shops!!!!
And that's just if you head in one direction! The other way is the the Corso, Trevi, Spanish Steps,Condotti, Augustus Mausoleum.... it's enough to make you tired just thinking about, much less walking it!

Just an FYI, from directly beside the Coloseum you can get on Bus #271, see Rome, and travel to Piazza Risogimento, which is just outside the walls of the Vatican!

Rome has a small centro area and you'll have a great time JUST walking. Have fun!!

It depends on how much you get lost???!!! My husband and I walked for 9 hours in Rome our first day there. Of course we saw parts of Rome that we would not have seen but we just couldn't get our bearings and then the street sign had an arrow pointing to the direction of the site and after a block or two no other directions. Have fun. There is so much to see. What a wonderful city.

I don't know of anything but use the scale on any map and figure you can do two to three miles per hour in the city. But remember 2000 years ago they all were walking. The core sites are very tight and easy to get to. We have walked from the Termini area to the Vatican in about an hour, an hour fifteen. Obviously further out sites will require public transit but if you like walking you will be fine in the city.

Regina,

It all depends on how fast you walk.
You will need to know te distance between the 2 points, then use this formula we all learned in grade school: speed= distance/time
