Rome’s
historic centre’s main sights are free and easy to visit in a meandering
wander, stopping for lunch, a coffee or ice cream for an energy burst.
Don’t
miss the Pantheon, a magnificently preserved ancient Roman temple, with a
circular hole in the huge domed roof open to the heavens.
A couple of
streets away is the splendid Piazza Navona, Rome’s elegant showcase
square.
A short amble further and you’re at the foaming, massive Trevi Fountain,
and the baroque Spanish Steps, a grand stairway that’s perfect for taking a
perch and watching the world go by.
Close by, the Piazza del Popolo is an
impressive oval-shaped square complete with an Egyptian obelisk, home
to some wonderful Caravaggio masterpieces in the Santa Maria del Popolo church.
