Description

️Creative Candle-Making in the Heart of Rome – A Hands-On Experience for All Ages Take a break from sightseeing and step into a bright, welcoming workshop just minutes from the Colosseum. In this fun and relaxing experience, you’ll create your very own Roman souvenir—a custom-scented candle to take home and treasure. Whether you're traveling with kids, a partner, or on your own, this activity is designed to be easy, joyful, and inspiring. You’ll be guided by local artisans who love sharing their passion for scent, color, and craftsmanship. Choose your fragrance, select a color palette, and pour your candle using safe, simple techniques suitable for all ages. Children will love the hands-on creativity, while adults can unwind with a refreshing Italian drink in a charming, peaceful setting. As your candle sets, enjoy the cozy atmosphere, chat with your hosts, or simply relax and take in a slower, more sensory side of Rome. After about 30 minutes, your finished candle is ready to go—packaged and ready to bring a little Roman beauty home with you. This is more than just a workshop—it’s a memory-making moment that captures the spirit of Rome through creativity, scent, and shared joy.
