Guided Tour to Piazzas in Rome

The start of your guided tour to piazzas in Rome will begin at Capitol Hill by walking up Michelangelo's Cordonata staircase. Here you will reach Piazza del Compidoglio. In this piazza you will be surrounded by three buildings, which comprise the Capitoline Museum.

While standing with the staircase to your back, walk left on Via di San Pietro in Carcere. On your left you should pass Santa Maria in Aracoli, which is a church that houses the "15th-century fresco of the Funeral of St. Bernardino by Pinturicchio". Following the road to the left you will see Piazza Venezia. You will know you are at the right piazza when you see the Victor Emmanuel Monument located at the top of the stairs.

To reach the next location, Piazza di Spagna, simply walk north on Via del Corso, passing the Museo del Corso on your left. At Via Condotti turn right ant continue walking down the street. Take note that this street contains some of the best shopping in all of Rome and even the world. I suggest walking slowly and window shopping but account for this extra time if you are meeting people at the next location. When you reach the end of Via Condotti, you will run right into Piazza di Spagna. While in the piazza you may want to visit Trinita de Monti, a 16th-century church.

To get to your final piazza simply walk north on Via del Babuino. Continue on the road until you walk into Piazza del Popolo. This is your final destination on the guided tour of piazzas in Rome. You will find yourself in the northern part of the city of Rome, so you may want to take the metro back to your hotel or apartment. There is a metro stop located just to the right of the piazza.
