Full description

One of the most popular places to visit in Rome on a sunny day is the Spanish Steps, which attract many people for one reason or another. The walk should start from the bottom and go up the stairs, passing by an amazing fountain and ending at a church on top. While strolling around the city, try not to lose your way unless you spot the little masterpiece of its own, the Trevi Fountain, which has achieved international fame for its highly ornate baroque architecture.And naturally, we should not forget tradition, as a lot of people arrive here with a wish in their mind to throw a coin into the river, believing it will come true, but it doesn’t end there.Subsequently, after its creation, this old building was converted into a church and became the sanctuary of the pagan gods of Rome. Its vast domed roof is constructed of cement and pierced at the crown by an oculus; it is considered one of the most magnificent examples ever produced, with numerous imitations modeled after it.Get a taste of authentic Italian food at a real Italian restaurant and then take it easy for the rest of the day. Go ahead to explore the Vatican Museum by using your second skip-the-line ticket; there are over 70,000 works of art filling up its 7 km gallery space as well as its 1,400 rooms. Impossibly sculptures and tapestries all along with Michelangelo’s ceiling in the Sistine Chapel that was famously painted between 1508 and 1512 will make you awestruck, but you should not walk past masterpieces of Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Pinturicchio, Perugino, etc.
