Places to see

Places to visit in Rome

It's impossible to count all the historical places to see in Rome, which has been home to the most glamourous days of history. Rome, which has a history laying in every corner of it, is one of the spots that are frequented by tourists with its multi-layered culture.

Trevi Fountain

You know it as the place where lovers kiss in front of it and throw money and make a wish in many movies. That's why, you should visit this touristic yet peerless fountain desgned in the exaggerated style of rococo in Palazzo Poli, once you've already come to Rome.

Pantheon

This geometrically perfect building, where Raphael's tomb is located, was built in between 119-128 and still keeps its glamour.

Teatro dell-Opera di Roma-Teatro Costanzi

Even though it's not in Rome, you may want to see this tower, which is located in Pisa, that is on the north of Italy, in Piazza dei Miracoli meaning "The Square of Miracles" and which was built in 1173 independently from the main building as the bell tower of the city cathedral that was built in 1063-1090. The tower is famous for leaning a little more every year.

Squares of Rome...

Piazza Novano is a square, which is half-closed to traffic, where you can sit and watch street musicians' performances, eating nuns, tourists, locals and painting artists for hours and won't understand how the time passes..

Campo Dei Fiori is Rome's only square without a church. Giordano Bruno, who was a philosopher, mathematician and astro-scientist with a sculpture in the square, was executed here. It's a marketplace during the day and it turns into a place where students and tourists party at nights.

Piazza di Spagna: The church of Trinita dei Monti, Spanish Steps and the best gleato shops of Rome are in this square.

Piazza del Campidoglio: Romulus and Remus sculptures can be seen in this square which looks very monumental due to the fact that Italian Parliament is located here.

NEIGHBOURHOODS OF ROME

Campo di Fiori: You won't get enough of walking around the streets that connect to the square where a marketplace is set during the days, pizzas in 1-meter-diameter are eaten in the restaurants all around and university students and tourists hang out on streets with drinks in their hands. There are many antique shops and countless cafes especially all along Via del Bianchi Vecchi.

Monti: You can see Colosseum, many historical churches and the oldest remnants of Rome.

Via Veneto: This neighbourhood, where there are expensive boutiques, restaurants and a higher life quality, is quite popular due to Spanish Steps.

Trastevere: In this neighbourhood, that is located on the other side of the river with narrow cobblestoned roads and that is the place where Italians who meet at cafe after work continue their nights in restaurants, the churches of Santa Maria in Trastevere and Santa Cecilia are worth seeing.

Termini: We recommend you not to eat or drink anything or spend much time in this region which is the first place you'll see when you step on the city and functions like a main station. It doesn't reflect the grandeur of Rome anyway.

EUR: In this neighbourhood, which is described as the business area of Rome, there is a miniature version of Disneyland named LUNEUR for kids.

Testaccio: In the neighbourhood of nightclubs and discos, it's also possible to taste traditionally prepared food.

Nightlife in Rome
