Published: Aug. 28, 2013, 3 p.m.

Rick meets one of his tour guides, Francesca, for Rome's ritual evening stroll \u2014 the passeggiata \u2014 on a walk that laces together its top after-dark hotspots. After the sun sets, the city cools down and the illuminated streets, squares and monuments take on another personality. This is people-watching at its best. Grab a gelato and join in!
