I feel like I'm in the pulsing heart of Rome when I stop here! There's always plenty happening, often something unexpected so be sure to stop by for a drink or a sit down.

You know, I think I could stay here forever, looking at St Peters, seeing nuns scurrying by and generally enjoying the atmosphere in this beautiful setting. I love it!

What a square! You climb up (a lot of) steps not quite knowing what you'll find and then there you are, surrounded by some fantastic buildings in an amazing hilltop square. Beautiful.

For all the attention-grabbing bit of Rome, this simple square was my favourite place to just go and hang out with a gelato. You can take a little stroll in the Borghese gardens, or just sit by the obelisk and watch the world go by.

I adore walking through or stopping in on the Piazza di Spagna day or night, there's always a great atmosphere, places to eat and people to watch. We even saw some sort of horse-drawn-cart ceremony last time we were catching our breath on the steps!
