Great view with the amazing white building who represent the history of Italy, here I’m talking about Altare della Patria. So if you are in Spain Square you must to visit that white and big building!

Super nice place, gigantic edifice . Go to the Capitoline museum next door and have a lunch on their rooftop , they have one of the best view in Rome

Милица Ивановић

I visited Roma more than once, and this place is must visit! My recommendation is to get at the top of the building with lift that is 7€ per person, around sunset ! It’s breath taking!

A site full of history, with the unknown soldier thumb, the Mussolini's balcony , the remains of emperor's Hadrian, part of the monument dedicated to the first king Emanuele II.

Boaz Sachs

Leaves you with your mouth open by its sheer scale and imposing structure . As opposed to the Roman ruins this is a taste of Rome's more recent history

Ducati Caffè

Look around and find the traffic policeman. In 1960 he was a character of Il Vigile (Alberto Sordi) and il 2012 of To Rome With Love (Woody Allen). Hungry? Our restaurant is very close.

On one side are the bus stops and across the street there are the taxi stops so pay attention of not trying to get/stop a cab at the bus stop if the bus doesn’t show up.
