The neighborhood of Piazza di Spagna offers one of the most important monuments of Rome: the Spanish Steps. They have always been and will continue to remain, one of Rome’s most popular attractions. Some will remember seeing them for the first time in the classic “Roman Holiday“! Europe’s widest staircase links, with its 135 steps, Piazza di Spagna at its base to Piazza Trinità dei Monti at its top. The splendid fountain called “Fontana della barcaccia” sits proudly at the foot of the staircase. This area of Rome is also where you’ll find the largest concentration of big designer names: Prada, Gucci, Valentino, to name only a few! Trend followers will love having their Roman apartment near Via Condotti, the main shopping street of the city center. After going up the Spanish Steps and around the chic boutiques, you may want to head to Babington’s Tea Room and enjoy some down time with a cup of tea. Finally, when the sun is about to set, make your way to the gardens of Villa Borghese and marvel at the breathtaking sight of the Eternal City from atop the Pincio.
