Start at the lovely Piazza del Popolo, built in the 16th century beside the old parish church of Santa Maria del Popolo. The oval-shaped piazza has undergone many modifications over the centuries, but maintains its glorious aspect.
Continue to the Pincio (Pincian Hill), one of the fabled 7 hills of Rome, where you will find the Neo-classical landscaped garden by Giuseppe Valadier. The gardens feature broad sidewalks of pine trees, palms, and evergreen shrubs, and offer a fantastic view over Piazza del Popolo.
Continue to Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps) to climb the monumental stairway that curves gracefully up to the Church of SS. Trinita' del Monti. Next, walk to the Piazza di Trevi to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain. According to legend, those that do will one day return to Rome. Continue to the Piazza della Rotonda to marvel at the miraculously well preserved Pantheon, built in 27 BC.
Stroll over to the Piazza della Rotonda to marvel at the miraculously well preserved Pantheon, built in 27 BC as a temple to all the gods. Move on to Rome's most famous square for “La Dolce Vita.” Piazza Navona was built on the site of an ancient arena, and retains the form of the stadium once used for animal fights and gladiatorial combats.
End at the Campo de' Fiori, northwest of the Capitol. The former meadow was never architecturally formalized, instead developing as a center of commerce, with streets leading off it named after the various trades, such as milliners, tailors, and crossbow makers.
