Historic entrance to Rome and its easy to see why. Much less crowded that the Spanish Steps 5 minutes walk away. From here you can see down the entire length of Via Del Corso to Il Vittoriano.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

A good area for chilling out and the two occasions we were there, there was some good street entertainers performing.
