The Spanish steps is close to the fountain trevi, so we headed here to take some photos. Photos can’t do this place justice, it’s something in the air that makes this place stand out. Imagine this, as you walk along the stone path in Rome, you come to see a gigantic stepped piazza, and a lot of locals and foreigners all decided to hang around the steps to enjoy a good day. I guess that pretty much sums up my experience here in the Spanish steps, definitely pay this place a visit, preferably in the evening when the city wakes up.

Wonderful walk. Breathtaking archeological site. Taking a walk here after lunch is a good choice, you really get to see the Roman culture here. As you set foot on top of the hill, you could even overlook part of Rome and the colosseum.

There are a lot of jewelry and watch shops on the bridge. Believe it used to be a bazaar in the old times. To me, this place isn’t worth a visit on its own unless you’re heading to the museum/gallery nearby; nothing really stands out here.

There are also a lot of coffee shops and restaurants nearby to enjoy the river view, although the river isn’t impressive as I’ve imagined.

Also, people say this place marks the very beginning of the renaissance!

Booking tickets in advance would help tremendously. We didn’t go for the dome nor the bell tower. The ambulances downstairs speak for itself.

Inside the cathedral, it’s quiet and sacred, tho I’m not a Christian, I could still feel the tranquility that this cathedral could bring.

The archeological site downstairs were pretty interesting as well. But keep this in mind, it’s pretty hot in there since it’s tiny but packed.

Most of the arts are Christian themed. But some master pieces are here as well, including the Medusa head, the birth of Venus etc.

Definitely book the tickets online first to avoid queues. Pre-booked customers can enter through door 1.

The whole tour actually starts in the 2nd floor. Before you head down to first floor, there’s a cafeteria which is a pretty chill place for some drinks.

If you’re in Florence, you should definitely pay this place a visit, since everything is walking distance, and why not visit a pretty museum that holds a lot of classic treasures?
