We visited the Trinita dei Monti and the Spanish Steps.
It was a fusion of architecture styles – the church was built by the French (with Egyptian obelisk) on top of steps built by the Spaniards.
At the bottom of Spanish Steps was Piazza di Spagna with a drinkable water fountain and an expensive shopping district. Naturally we window shopped but didn’t buy anything.

As part of our “Enjoy Rome” walk tour, we had a breathtaking view of the Roman Forum from Capitoline Hill at Sunset. You could see the Temple of Saturn, View of Coloseum and Paletine Hill as well.
It was a fast paced tour. We barely had time to take photos and film our trip video and were constantly lagging the tour group. It was worth it though – we got a good overview of Rome’s history and the cool spots to come back to by ourselves later.
