Piazza Venezia combines old and new, architecture and art, museum and monument. It is within easy walking distance of many ancient attractions. On the staired entrance the crowds are well controlled by the guards.

The square in front of the Victor Emmanuel monument is a fine example of a large scale square. There isn't that much to see in the square itself (other the gigantic monument), but don't miss the nearby church of San Marco. More

This piazza located at the foot of the Capitoline Hill in central Rome, Italy and at the end of the Via del Corso.

Took the elevator to the top, cost is 7 euro but really worth it. Breathtaking views, full 360, the monument itself is disliked by Romans as being trashy and way over the top for the period. I liked it and to be able to see the dome of the Pantheon was worth it, still can't figure out how they built... More
