Top places to visit

1. Colosseum

Nearly 2,000 years ago, this was the site where tens of thousands of spectators would flock to see gladiators in combat, public executions, and the re-enactment of famous battles. Construction on the Colosseum was finished back in the year 80 AD, and while these days the crowds may not visit to enjoy the spectacles of the blood sports of ancient Rome, huge numbers still visit this famous spot to see the great structure still standing.

3. Piazza Navona

Though not as old as some of the ancient monuments you’ll find across this historic city, the Piazza Navona is nonetheless a beautiful spot. Surrounded by façades built back in the 17th century when Pope Innocent X commissioned such legendary artists as Bernini, Borromini and Rainaldi, this space is a testament to Rome’s artistic heritage.

4. Spanish Steps

This legendary staircase was first dreamt up back in the 1700s. It was then that architect Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi came up with a plan to design and build 138 steps to make it easier for locals to reach the Trinita dei Monti church. With their curves, straight lines, vistas and terraces, the stairs blend beautifully into the surrounding piazza.
