Sights you can visit for free.

In Rome, you have many different sights that you can visit for free, below are the top 5.

 

  1. Pantheon The Pantheon, a 2000-year-old temple now serving as a church, is the best-preserved monument of ancient Rome. It's a unique and exciting experience to enter the massive bronze doors of the Pantheon and look up at the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built. Visiting the Pantheon should be on everyone's Rome bucket list, not only to be reminded that before it became the seat of Catholic power, Rome honored other gods.

  2. St. Peter's Basilica The largest, richest, and most spectacular basilica in the city overshadows all other churches and is completely free to enter. St. Peter's Basilica houses three of Italy's most celebrated masterpieces: Michelangelo's Pieta, his towering dome, and Bernini's 29-meter-high baldachin above the papal altar.

  3. Piazza Navona Piazza Navona is most enticing in the early morning before the crowd arrives or after dark when the fountains, like Bernini's iconic Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, are illuminated. Or even better, be there when it's bustling to watch the street performers and tourists and linger until dusk.

  4. Spanish Steps People may no longer sit on the Spanish Steps, but you can still climb them. At the top of the city's most famous staircase is the Chiesa della Trinità dei Monti. Go inside and admire spectacular artworks, including frescoes, an astrolabe, and a pair of anamorphoses - murals that seem to change completely depending on where you stand.

  5. Trevi Fountain The beautiful, over-the-top, rococo Trevi Fountain displays wild horses, mythical figures, and cascading waterfalls. It's a memorable sight at any time of day, but especially enchanting after dark when it's fully illuminated. According to legend, tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain ensures you'll return to Rome, making it a tourist ritual.
