Piazza di Spagna - Spanish Steps: Spanish Steps at Night
  • Tip Rating:

  • Favorite Thing: Walk to the sights starting at the Spanish Steps to the Parliament, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Campo di Fiori, Campidoglio, The Roman Forum and the Colosseum.
    Grab a map and walk all these places pretty easily the whole day, stopping at cafes and restaurants whenever hunger strikes.

    Fondest Memory: Sitting in front of the Spanish steps at midnight when it was practically deserted. Cold because it was February but absolutely romantic!

  • Favorite Thing: Do not let rain stop you from enjoying all the sights. Buy an umbrella for no more than 5Euro from the guys on the street and enjoy the crisp, cold air!

  • Favorite Thing: After walking in the rain and the cold we did get soaked and finally decided it was time to hail a cab.
    My friend had a cold but was such a good sport and walked to all the sights with me. I finally took pity and spared him from the walk back.

    Piazza Navona: Piazza Navona

  • Favorite Thing: Sit outside and enjoy Piazza Navona while having something good to eat whether at night or during the day...at night it's more romantic but during the day it's more alive with people walking around and artists painting.

    Fountains & River: Ponte Sisto

  • Favorite Thing: While trying to follow the detailed map I had of Rome, I still ended up in a street away from where I originally wanted to walk to. Best thing about getting lost, though, is that we end up seeing sights that are originally not in the list of our "must sees". This pretty pic was taken from Ponte Sisto. Should I have turned the other way and snapped another picture, I could have had a picture of Isola Tiberina which is a little island on the river that, if I'm not mistaken because I read it somewhere, was a place where they isolated the sick when a plague hit Rome centuries ago.

     Great pages and tips. I would love to go to Rome and see the Colisseum, isn't that frustrating when you visit a great landmark and its' under construction inside? like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, forever being refurbished.- Tony
