One cannot leave Rome without throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain while making a wish...
This fountain which derived its name from its position as it is in the intersection of 3 roads, is probably the most important or most visited fountain in Rome.
The Work on this fountain had started by the two architects Pietro da Cortona and my favourite Bernini. The work had stopped with the death of Pope Urban VIII but then later entrusted to Nicola Salvi who completed the work between 1732 and 1751.
......... The legend says that if you toss a coin into the fountain over your shoulder, you will one day return to the eternal city.

Campo de' Fiori is located in the heart of the Centro Storico, the historic centre of Rome, close to the Jewish Ghetto and Piazza Navona.
I went to Campo dei Fiori in the evening but I heard that this square is pretty busy in the morning too. Actually in the moring in this Piazza there is the vegetables and the flowers market and then in the evening one can go to one of the Irish Pubs that are located here. From here one can walk to the Piazza Navona area too. If I remember well there are about 6 bars/pubs in the Campo dei Fiori square.
Finally don't miss out the statue of Giordano Bruno, the philospher who was roasted to death by fire in the blazing market of Campo dei Fiori.

Villa Borghese goes way back to the 1580s when it was owned by the Family Borghese themselves. In the beginning of the 1600, Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli Borghese decided to start buying the surrounding land in order to form this 'territory'
Basically this is a massive garden which holds a large Villa boasting of the World's most renowed pieces of art.
This massive paradise is divided into the following: Valle dei Platani, Giardino Piazzale Scipione Borghese, Giardini Segreti, Giardino del Lago and Parco dei Daini.
These gardens boast of tall trees and flowers, a calm serenity, birds and the sound of water coming from five wonderful fountains: Fontane Oscure, Mostra dell' Acqua Felice, Fontana dei Cavalli Marini and Fontana del Fiocco. Nonetheless the Fontana dei Cavalli Marini being my favourite and most appealing of all.
These gardens are huge, one could easily take up a whole morning to walk around this garden. I advise visitors to wait by the entrance for a couple of minutes until the touring bus passes buy. It costs only 1Eur and it will take you all around the garden and finally to the Villa Itself, now Galleria Borghese.
See my Galleria Borghese tips.

I agree with only one part of the above, "The food is expensive". My lasagne was cold and tasted like it was a frozen meal, my girlfriends pasta was also dry. The vegetables were around £5 a plate and were dry as a bone! Not recommended. | maltese24 Mon May 15, 2006 11:54 UTC
