The afternoon light is casting this yellow glow everywhere and setting a romantic tone over the entire piazza. I noticed that everyone seems to be in a playful mood. Sitting alone, I observe everything by the fountains: nuns walking quickly and quietly, children playing on tricycles, a few people tossing coins in the fountains. I hear this gushing sound of water emanating from these remarkable animals and beasts around the fountain. How is it that all these ancient pipes seem to still work perfectly, I wonder?

Visit to Rome FAQ
What is the best time to visit Rome, Italy?
The absolute best time to visit Rome is from October from April, the main shoulder season in visiting this magnificent city. There are less crowds and tourists, cheaper prices for hotel accommodations and easier bookings to popular attractions, restaurants and historic sites to exploring the city. Weather in October through Mid November is mild and still pleasant but turns colder after mid November timeframe.
April to July time frame is the busiest and most popular times to visit Rome which tends to also be very full and difficult to see many of the attractions around the city. Spring and fall time tends to be the cooler months with hotels not offering any heating typically during this timeframe. June, July and August are hot with average temperatures hovering around 90 degrees. Many of the modern hotels will have air conditioning systems available for tourists staying during this time of year.
Why visit Rome, Italy?
Rome is such a stunning metropolis and filled with ancient history, Unesco World Heritage sites, amazing architecture and historic ruins, fine art and even finer food, and Rome consistently ranks among Europe’s most beloved travel destinations.
Weather and best time to visit Rome
Rome experiences a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The best time to visit Rome largely depends on your preferences for weather and the type of experience you seek:
Spring (April to June): Spring is a popular time to visit Rome. The weather is pleasant, with mild temperatures and blooming flowers. It’s an excellent time for sightseeing and outdoor activities. However, this is also the tourist high season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices.
Summer (June to August): Summer in Rome can be hot and crowded. Temperatures often soar above 30°C (86°F), and it’s a peak tourist season. If you don’t mind the heat and want to experience Rome’s lively atmosphere, this is the time for outdoor events and festivals.
Autumn (September to November): Early autumn is another pleasant time to visit, with warm weather and fewer crowds compared to summer. September is especially enjoyable. As the season progresses, temperatures gradually cool, making it a great time for exploring historic sites without the summer crowds.
Winter (December to February): Rome’s winter is mild compared to many other European cities, but it can be rainy and cool. This is the least crowded and most budget-friendly time to visit. You’ll have the city’s treasures practically to yourself, but some outdoor attractions may be less appealing due to the weather.
In summary, the best time to visit Rome for ideal weather and fewer crowds is during the shoulder seasons of spring and early autumn. However, if you enjoy the vibrant summer atmosphere and don’t mind the heat, summer can also be a great time to experience the city’s energy. Winter is perfect for budget travelers and those who prefer a quieter, more intimate experience of Rome’s historical sites

Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi at Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona
After spending a busy morning walking through the many ancient landmarks around the city, it’s nice to relax and unwind at the piazza. The smell of roasting chestnuts nearby makes me want to grab a bag and eat some of those plump chestnuts, sitting next to one of the fountains and just enjoy the scene at the piazza. There must be hundreds of people visiting the square and enjoying their end of day rituals with loved ones. I end up strolling the entire length of the square with its three fountains and approach the monumental fountain created by its master, Bernini. The famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, or fountain of the four rivers is topped with a grandiose obelisk from the remnants of the Circus of Maxentius. I take in the stunning details and photograph some of the striking vignettes and amazing sculpture. Then I check out the other two fountains which are completely different and just as spectacular as Bernini’s masterpiece. It’s so wonderful that all these magnificent works of art are outdoors and free for everyone to appreciate, like many of Rome’s incredible landmarks.
Of all the nice things to do in Rome, it’s easy just to sit and take an entire afternoon to appreciate all these stunning piazzas and monuments around Rome, but there are just too many other locations to visit. So, let me take you on some of my favorite hangout spots and famous landmarks around the city. Hopefully, this will inspire you to visit Rome soon.

PIazza Navona in Rome: 15 pictures to inspire you to visit
Here’s a view of the Piazza and some of the history and culture below
Campo Fiori
After visiting Piazza Navona, I decide to head out to another famous Piazza called the Campo Fiori. Walk to my next destination, I find the streets are filled with spectacular architecture, more outdoor art and sculpture, with surprises tucked in many spots along the way. I think walking around Rome is a great way to explore the city, there are so many things to see in Rome when you walk through all these wonderful areas. You never really know what you will see along the way, and usually it is always something unique and spectacular – and Campo Fiori is so colorful especially on market days.
A stunning building façade in the Campo Fiori, Rome
While wandering around the streets outside, the Campo Fiori, I saw this stunning portal (image above) looking straight into the façade of this ornate building, completely blown away by all the magnificent details and artwork of the exterior. Little surprises like this are one of the reasons why I love visiting this amazing city, again and again.
Daily flower market at Campo Fiori in Rome.
Late in the afternoon, the piazza is still busy with the daily market. The vendors are barking their last sales of the day while starting to pack away all their perishables and finished goods into stacked boxes. Even when it comes to selling product at the market, there’s an Italian way of presentation with colorful displays and arrangements. Everything is artfully set and decorated, making it tempting for you to stop and pick up something delicious or even a souvenir to take back home. For me, markets are fun to explore and look locally made products and taste some new and interesting, and it usually is ‘Delicioso’.
Artful presentations at the farmers market in Campo Fiori, Rome
I’m almost tempted to take this bike (below) on a spin around the Campo Fiori while eating some of those luscious oranges, or try eating some of the chestnuts which I’ve never tried eating raw before. Fortunately, the scene was a perfect vignette worth taking a picture. When the market is finally done, the cafes roll out their tables to extend the limited indoor seating to capture diners who want to see and be seen outdoors in the piazza.
Tip: if your into the dining scene, then late in the afternoon to evening is the best time to visit when all the cafes around the piazza are set up for outdoor dining at its best in Rome.
Morning market at Campo Fiori, Rome
Continuing my walk pass the Piazza Campo Fiori to Trastevere, I happened onto this hidden church with these amazing sculptures from an unknown artist, but for some reason I lost my information (scribbled notes) about the church or the artist. In any case, this is what I saw from a distance (image below), with the wooden doorway and a few pieces of sculpture peeking through. I was quite curious and had to cross a busy street to check out the basilica and artwork scattered around the courtyard. I’ve tried Googling the church with no luck, so if you know this church, please share it in the comments section below so I can update this post.
Here’s a quick video tour around Campo Riori below
Are you tempted to take a peek inside?
Hidden church and sculpture on the streets outside Campo Fiori, Rome
Inside the courtyard of the basilica are these marvelous sculpture from a contemporary artist I have yet to know anything about, all the bronze figures are magnificent and each of them are unique in their poses. Stepping inside the basilica, I immediately notice the ornate altar and cupola. And looking up into the cupola were these huge stars and little cupids that were floating up in the heavens, quite unusual and animated. The cheerful cherubs didn’t remind me of any of the stuffy or overly decorated churches around Rome. I loved how the cheerful interiors also matched the exterior wedding cake like façade and tower.
**Update – I’m excited to receive a reply in the comments from Esther Urbano about this mysterious church which is named Saint Yves at Sapienza (as part of the University of Rome). More details on the church is shared by Esther below in the comment section including a wiki link to the site.

A beautiful stone bridge connecting Isola Tiberina to Trastevere in Rome
Visiting the Trastevere
A short walk through a bridge crossing the small island, Isola Tiberina and you are in the edge of Trastevere. Once the ancient Jewish community of Rome, Trastevere is now a hip neighborhood with trendy bars and cafes along with some wonderful promenades and active street life. Of all the places in Rome, I love the small city within a city vibe of this neighborhood, especially at night when all the locals come out and enjoy spending some time outdoors, sitting in an outdoor café and taking part in ‘La Dolce Vita’ (the good life).
The whole neighborhood feels intimate, alive and so much more relaxed than some of the more formal areas around the city. It’s surprising when visitors do some Rome sightseeing, they don’t include a visit to this wonderful neighborhood and it truly is a gem. So when you visit Rome, first come to Trastevere and experience a real Roman neighborhood.
A specialty delicatessen in Trastevere, Rome
I also love that Trastevere is an area with many specialty food ventures including this wonderful delicatessen (above) with a huge selection of local cheese and quality meats made from the region. This popular institution called Antica Caciara is a local favorite along with the local bread shop (below) called Forno Pane cotto A legna. When the oven is filled and ready to be opened, there are long lines out the door with dedicated patrons who want their bread fresh, crunchy and moist on the inside. I just wrote a wonderful post about touring the specialty food vendors, cafes, wine bars and restaurants in Trastevere, take a look at my Trastevere post here for more details.
Visiting a forno and pane baker in Trastevere, Rome
Of course the popular meeting and hang out spot for the evening in Trastevere is the main Piazza called Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere. The square and surrounding buildings are wonderfully lit up at night including the central fountain. This fountain is said to be the oldest fountain in all of Rome and built around the 8th century. Nowadays, the square is the main gathering place where people meet and enjoy the street scenes and maybe a nice meal from any of the trattorias around the piazza.
Tip: a great way to visit the Trastevere neighborhood is to take a food tour with many of the specialty food purveyors, cafes and bars in the area. One of my favorite food tours for the Trastevere is offered with Eating Italy.

National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II at Piazza Venezia, Rome
National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II
At night the National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II or Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II is quite majestic. Lit up brilliantly with its columns, statuary and majestic pediments, the monument in honor of Victor Emmanuel (first king of a united Italy), is a sight to see and walk through at night. Inaugurated in 1911, the monument is decorated with all the flourishes of a Roman monument: Corinthian columns, equestrian sculpture and goddesses, fountains and a monumental central bronze sculpture of Victor Emmanuele riding majestically on a horse.
Tip: there is a fantastic aerial view of Rome from the top of the monument which you can take an elevator ride. Before the elevator is an outdoor café, which is a perfect place for taking a nice break.

Pantheon and fountain in Rome
Pantheon
Eventually everyone makes it to one of the most popular attractions in Rome, the Pantheon. The entire piazza around the Pantheon is always packed with tourists from early in the morning until late at night and all the cafes are filled around the piazza and promenades leading up to the Pantheon. Typical of many significant ruins and monuments in Italy, the Pantheon was initially dedicated to the Roman gods, actually the 12 main gods of ancient Rome. Later, the Pantheon was converted into a Catholic basilica dedicated to St. Mary and various Martyrs. Christian changes and chapels were added to the expansive interior, along with a choir nitch and many burial chambers, including the famous Italian painters Raphael and Annibale Carraci.
** Check out these various Pantheon tours guided or audio here for more details and information in visiting this historic site.
Tip: the Pantheon is still an active church and you can visit and see services every day. To find Raphael’s tomb, look for the golden twin doves facing each other.

Here’s a visit to the Pantheon and some interesting history, facts and details to visiting
Piazza Colonna
In the heart of central Rome, Piazza Colonna is named for the large marble column topped with a statue of Saint Paul. Surrounding the square are government buildings, shopping arcades, an elaborate villa and a basilica. These combined create this grand and ancient square that has been in existence since the time of Marcus Aurelius where a temple stood to honor him and is now the site of the villa called Palazzo Wedekind.

Visit to the Trevi Fountain
After a long restoration period, Trevi fountain is magnificent to view with sparkling statues, carvings and fountains to enjoy. The Trevi fountain is popular to visit day time and late into the night when it is light up and a popular hang out spot in Rome.. Close by, I spotted a beautiful medallion on the corner of one of the buildings fronting the fountain, so I am including that as an extra photo to compensate for this limited view of the Trevi fountain.
Tip: the fountain is very busy all day long and into the night, the best time to actually visit is late in the evening when the fountain is illuminated and has a spectacular glow along with less crowds visiting this very touristy site.

A visit to Vatican City
A city all on its own, Vatican city is an independent city State in Rome. Proclaimed independent from Italy in 1929 and under the domain of the Holy pope who is also the Bishop of Rome. One of the smallest city states in the world comprised of only 121 acres that is dedicated to the Catholic Church which has over 1.329 billion Catholics world wide. You can visit the main public square of Vatican City and even tour the famous Vatican Museums along with the Sistine chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica.
Some of the main sites like the plaza and St. Peter’s Basilica are open for the public to visit but the Museums and Sistine Chapel is open to visitors on a guided tour.

Exploring the Tiber River
It’s easy to walk along the Tiber River on a self tour and enjoying views of the many scenic and historic sites that you can see on the river front area. The Tiber winds right through the hear of Rome and is the third longest river in Italy. Rome was founded originally around 753 BC on the banks of the Tiber River and was important to the ancient Romans for commerce and trade with inland water access to over 100 KM inland from the harbor at Ostia. You can pass through historic places along both sides of the river passing through Trastevere, Vatican City, Ponte Sant ‘Angelo, Castel Sant’Angelo Tiber Island and impressive garden parks of the wealthly Romans of its day.
Trade was a major factor locating Rome on the Tiber and dredging was done constantly to allow river access to the interior and an extensive wharves were built along the shorelines but now replaced by historic homes, hotels and cultural sites that you can visit along the Tiber River.
**You can do a tour of Castel Sant’Angelo here for more details and information in visiting this historic site.
How to get around Rome
Getting around Rome, the capital city of Italy, is relatively easy, thanks to its well-developed transportation system. Here are the main modes of transportation you can use to navigate the city:
- Metro: Rome has an efficient metro system that covers major areas of the city. The metro lines are labeled with letters (A, B, and C) and color-coded. It’s a convenient and fast way to travel between different neighborhoods and attractions in Rome. The metro operates from early morning until late at night.
- Bus: Rome has an extensive bus network that covers almost every corner of the city. Buses are a great way to reach destinations that are not served by the metro. Look for bus stops with signboards indicating the bus numbers and routes. Tickets can be purchased at tobacco shops, newsstands, or vending machines.
- Tram: Trams are another option for getting around Rome. They operate on designated tracks and cover various parts of the city. Trams can be a convenient mode of transportation, especially for reaching areas with limited metro or bus connections.
- Taxi: Taxis are widely available in Rome, and they can be found at taxi stands or hailed on the street. Look for official white taxis with a “TAXI” sign on the roof and a meter inside. It’s advisable to confirm the fare with the driver before starting the journey.

Walking allows you to soak in the city’s charm, discover hidden gems, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Rome’s streets and piazzas.
- Bike: Rome has implemented a bike-sharing system called Roma Bike. You can rent a bike from various stations across the city and return it to any other station. Biking can be a fun and eco-friendly way to explore Rome, especially for shorter distances.
While driving in Rome is possible, it is not recommended for visitors due to the city’s heavy traffic, limited parking, and ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) regulations. Additionally, Rome’s historic center is mostly pedestrianized, making it challenging for cars to navigate.

Hi Noel,
I’ve been to almost all of these places before, but I’ve never seen the Church of Saint Yves at Sapienza! I will definitely look for it next time I’m in Rome. I lived there on and off for several years and even worked as a tour guide there, but I find that there is always something new to discover. Thanks for sharing!
Rome takes you past stunning workmanship and engineering and basic markets. I love It .
Wow . Amazing pictures. Such a great Trevi fountain picture.
Thanks, I appreciate your comments.
I think statues are really hard to photograph in ways that make them really compelling, but you have some beauties in that collection. I especially like your Trevi fountain pic — it almost looks as if the figure is trying to get his horse under control to work on it!
I love how wandering through Rome takes you past amazing art and architecture and simple markets and such! Thanks for the walk!
Yes Rome is amazing at every turn and Rome’s attractions are simply stunning.
Beautiful Noel. This place bleeds with history and culture. Added to my list. My life loved her visit to Rome over a decade ago.

Wow . Amazing pictures. I been to Lugano of Italy and would love to visit Rome the very next time. A very different city it is.

Thanks for sharing
We have just visited Rome for a day with Sea Princess. Wow, what an amazing (crowded) city, and so full of wonder. Our photos don’t do it nearly as much justice as yours Noel, which have made me want to return … but we were so lucky to see the Trevi Fountain renovated in its full glory. Very fortunate. Very special.
Thanks for sharing. Rome is certainly top in my bucket list!
Great job Noel!. These photographs of Rome made me live the same moment twice . Let me tell you something about the unknown basilica (actually it is a church) near campo di fiori :it is ‘Saint Yves at the Sapienza (University of Rome)’) is a Roman Catholic church in Rome. Built in 1642-1660 by the architect Francesco Borromini, the church is a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture.
The church is at the rear of a courtyard at 40, Corso del Rinascimento; the complIn the 14th century, there was a chapel here for the palace of the University of Rome. The University is called La Sapienza, and the church was dedicated to Saint Yves (patron saint of jurists). When a design was commissioned from Borromini in the 17th century, he adapted to the already existing palazzo. He choose a plan resembling a star of David – which would have been recognized at the time as a Star of Solomon, symbolizing wisdom – and merged a curved facade of the church with the courtyard of the palace. The corkscrew lantern of the dome was novel. The complex rhythms of the interior have a dazzling geometry to them.

Thank you so much Esther for that wonderful information you shared on the Church Saint Yves at Sapienza, I really appreciate your giving me more insight to this special place and its history including the plan to resemble the star of David.
I love the photo of the bicycle and all the vibrant colours in the markets.
Congratulations for the work the photos were beautiful, Rome is amazing!
Fabulous photos as ever, Noel – the Trevi fountain was also closed when we visited. We particularly liked Trastevere for the nightime ambiance
Beautiful, Noel. When we took our sons to Rome in 2004, we stayed near the Piazza Navona. We pretty much walked the route you photographed here. Great memories—with your much better photos.
Magical city. Lovely shots.
I did enjoy that magical hour in Rome as well when everyone seem to be more upbeat that the work hour has ended. 🙂
Your photos are absolutely stunning!
I love Rome also, so many amazing sites to explore and cool hang out spots during the day and late into the night. Here are some of my favorite places to explore walking around the city.
Such beautiful inspiration Noel! Those tomatoes look perfect. And I’d love to see that courtyard with the sculptures. When can we go? 😉
The pictures are awesome, details are present, and perspectives are refreshing. Thank you so much for an enthralling view of Rome.
Lovely photos…
Wonderful photo gallery of Rome. Makes us want to return to the eternal city. Thanks!
Like your photography, Rome is nothing short of magnificent!
Your images do definitely capture the grandeur of Rome, but my favorite spot depicted, which I would go out of my way to visit, is the delicatessen in Trastevere.
It’s been years since we have been to Rome. I just love your Campo Fiori photos (the rest are amazing too)
These photos certainly inspire me to return to Rome. But I did throw 3 coins into the Trevi Fountain, so that was always going to happen.
Beautiful photos. They certainly are an inspiration to visit Rome. I love the stone bridge and the unknown basilica.
