The city center has many squares ideal for strolling and getting to know the life of the locals. One of the most beautiful in Rome is Piazza Navona, with several restaurants and street artists that give life to the area.
There are also fountains such as the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, del Moro and del Nettuno. Each one is decorated with impressive sculptures. It is worth staying to admire their infinite details.
But among so many famous fountains, the most popular is undoubtedly the Fontana di Trevi. It is located a few streets down and every day it gathers hundreds of tourists who come to contemplate its sculptures and make wishes.
Another way to get a glimpse of the locals’ daily life is to visit the Campo de’ Fiori market, where vendors display their antique and food stalls. It is possible to find everything from decorative objects to a wide variety of fresh fruit.
The best way to learn about the history of the city is to take a tour of the main symbols of Rome. The tour begins at the Pantheon, which dazzles everyone from its wonderful exterior.
