Piazza del Popolo

Rome Italy
Planned by Valadier at the beginning of the 19th century, this is considered one of the best urban works in Rome.
Price
★★★★☆
Beautiful square with locals and tourists using it, second time we have visited but couldn't believe 34€ for two cappuccino coffees at the Canova cafe on the corner. Should have checked the prices I guess but just didn't think it would be that. Central London isn't anywhere near this and in Denmark last year, supposedly the dearest place , it was nowhere near this cost. I guess it's a business model, get the tourists once as they won't be repeat customers.

Santa Maria del Popolo
★★★★★
Despite an unprepossessing exterior against the ancient North Gate of Rome, the interior of Santa Maria del Popolo is exquisite, with 2 amazing Caravaggios, Bernini design and a chapel by Raphael! No more lovely church exists, imho.
