Spanish Steps, Rome

Wow, there were so many people it was almost claustrophobic. It is a beautiful area and the steps and church were really cool. But be prepared to push your was through all the people as they enjoy the scenery. It is definitely worth visiting. I counted 180 steps to the top where a beautiful church awaits.

Another place in Rome worth seeing. The charming streets leading to the stairs are full of boutiques of the most eminent fashion houses. You can see that it is a very rich and expensive part of the city. The attraction itself is interesting, very well kept. Clean, despite the large number of tourists. It is worth paying attention to local traders who want to sell small gifts - I advise you not to, waste of money and their stories about the family, copy the sales manual. There is a beautiful view of the old town from the top. I recommend it and I'll be back there again.

So it's kind of underwhelming here. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool place, and the architecture is gorgeous, but it's not a place to enjoy being a long time. There are tourists all over everything. You might get hassled for money or trinkets. The best way to visit is to arrive very early or enjoy the church at the top of the steps.

If you’re a history buff it’s cool. Considered the widest and longest staircase of Europe. I read that you will get a fine for sitting on the steps. There were officers out there. It’s hot out there on a sunny day with no shade. There was some people at the top of the stairs selling water.

A beautiful historical and religious location. You are no longer allowed to sit on the steps leading up to the church. You can be fined 400 euros. There are Italian Police who monitor the steps to keep the steps for tourists. There are no fees or cost to visit this location and church. Bring walking shoes and a camera.
