The Spanish Steps are one of the most visited sites in Rome. A City like Rome contains no shortage of highlights with the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Vatican and the list goes on but the Spanish Steps loom large.
Naturally I was curious what made the Spanish Steps so unique and rank among some of the other more remarkable historical sites in Rome. I was well situated to the Spanish Steps staying less than 100 metres away it was a fantastic location to explore all the delights that Rome has to offer. During my 5 days in Rome I kept returning to the Spanish Steps many times each day, it just has some quality that I find draws people to sit on the steps, watch others walk by and just take in Rome. Much like the Trevi Fountain it is virtually always packed in the evening but if you the morning around 9am it can still be quiet. But the Spanish Steps are not best to be seen when quiet, you need to see it as the sun sets and the crowds flock to take in the night in an amazing part of Rome.
The Spanish Steps climbs a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna to the Piazza Trinita dei Monti at the top where the Trinita dei Monto church takes pride of place. The Spanish Steps has 138 steps and was build in 1723 to 1725. While the steps are nothing remarkable they are a magnet for tourists and also those that prosper on tourism, you will be able to pickup that magnet of Rome you have been thinking about buying to take back home. Also if your a bit thirty you will be able to buy a Coke for about 4 Euro but it you walk another hundred metres down the road McDonald’s will provide the same service for half the price. The Spanish Steps in the evening is packed, you can see the tourist groups arrive and the local guide holding the paddle guiding people around talking about the local sites of Rome. It is worth watching just finding a spot on the steps and watching all that goes on in the Piazza Spagna below. Rome which is remarkable during the day comes alive at night, you get a far greater appreciation for the beauty of Rome at night and few better places to take in the energy of Rome than the Spanish Steps.
Every day in Rome for me included a return to the Spanish Steps as the energy and beauty of the Roman City is ever on display here. If you have been struggling in the heat of a Roman summer day or taking in the hectic tourist sites like the Colosseum then take some time out of your evening and spend it relaxing at the Spanish Steps watching time drift slowly. You have everything you need around you from tourist shops in the Piazza di Spagna to the vibrant restaurant’s nearby and the amazing Gelato shops that serve among the finest Gelato you will experience.
