　　The most dramatic approach to Piazza del Campidoglio is via this graceful staircase from Piazza d'Aracoeli. Designed by Michelangelo, it was built with wide, shallow steps to allow people to ride their horses up to the piazza as well as walk up.

　　At the top are twin statues of Castor and Pollux.

Must-see attractions
Quartiere Coppedè
Rome
　　The compact Quartiere Coppedè, centering around the magnificent Piazza Mincio, is one of Rome's most extraordinary neighbourhoods. Conceived and built by the little-known Florentine architect, Gino Coppedè, between 1913 and 1926, it's a fairy-tale series of palazzos with Tuscan turrets, Liberty sculptures, Moorish arches, Gothic gargoyles, frescoed facades and palm-fringed...
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Rome
　　Piazza Navona's flamboyant centrepiece, Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is an ornate, showy work. Completed in 1651, it features a tapering Egyptian obelisk and four muscular personifications of the rivers Nile, Ganges, Danube and Plate, representing the four continents of the then-known world. 　　Legend has it that the...
Campo de' Fiori
Rome
　　Colorful and always busy, Il Campo is a major focus of Roman life: by day it hosts one of the city's best-known markets; by night its bars and restaurants do a brisk trade. The piazza's poetic name (Field of Flowers) is a reference to the open meadow that stood here...
Gianicolo
Rome
　　The verdant hill of Gianicolo (or Janiculum) is dotted with monuments to Garibaldi and his makeshift army, who fought pope-backing French troops in one of the fiercest battles in the struggle for Italian unification on this spot in 1849. 　　The Italian hero is commemorated with a massive monument in Piazzale...
Chiesa della Trinità dei Monti
Rome
　　Sitting in majesty above the Spanish Steps, this landmark church was commissioned by King Louis XII of France and consecrated in 1585. Apart from the great views over Rome offered from its front staircase, it is notable for impressive frescoes by Daniele da Volterra. His Deposizione (Deposition), in the second...
Villa del Priorato di Malta
Rome
　　Fronting an ornate cypress-shaded piazza, the Roman headquarters of the Sovereign Order of Malta, aka the Cavalieri di Malta (Knights of Malta), boasts one of Rome's most celebrated views. It's not immediately apparent, but look through the keyhole in the villa's green door and you’ll see the dome of St...
Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli
Rome
　　Pilgrims and art lovers flock to this 5th-century basilica for two reasons: to marvel at Michelangelo's colossal Moses sculpture (1505) and to see the chains that are said to have bound St Peter when he was imprisoned in the Carcere Mamertino (in Vincoli means in chains). Also of note is...
Cimitero Acattolico per gli Stranieri
Rome
　　Despite the roads that surround it, Rome’s 'non-Catholic' cemetery is a verdant oasis of peace. An air of Grand Tour romance hangs over the site where up to 4000 people are buried, including poets Keats and Shelley, and Italian political thinker Antonio Gramsci. 　　Among the gravestones and cypress trees, look...
Via Margutta
Rome
　　Small antique shops, commercial art galleries and artisanal boutiques are arrayed along Via Margutta, one of Rome's prettiest pedestrian cobbled lanes. Strung with ivy-laced palazzi, the street is named after a 16th-century family of barbers but has long been associated with art and artists: Picasso worked at a gallery at...
Piazza di Spagna & the Spanish Steps
Rome
　　A magnet for visitors since the 18th century, the Spanish Steps (Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti) provide a perfect place for people watching. The 135 gleaming steps rise from Piazza di Spagna to the landmark Chiesa della Trinità dei Monti. 　　Piazza di Spagna was named after the Spanish Embassy to...

　　The most dramatic approach to Piazza del Campidoglio is via this graceful staircase from Piazza d'Aracoeli. Designed by Michelangelo, it was built with wide, shallow steps to allow people to ride their horses up to the piazza as well as walk up. 　　At the top are twin statues of Castor...
Giardino del Lago
Rome
　　Designed and laid out in the late 18th century, this leafy area is centred on a small, romantic lake where you can hire a rowing boat. The highlight, other than the serene atmosphere, is the Tempietto di Esculapio, a copy of a Roman temple sited on the lake's artificial islet....
