One of the most exciting and energetic ways to explore this grand, ancient city is atop an iconic Vespa scooter, behind a strong, young man driving like crazy, or with a delicate lady holding you tightly around the waist. If you're lucky, you'll even get to see a Vespa race when hundreds of them wait at the traffic lights and then within seconds vanish behind the corner and leave a cloud of smoke after themselves. The best season to enjoy the ride across Rome is the naturally warm summer time. At this time riding is more efficient​ and refreshing than leisurely walking in the unbearable heat.
