Piazza di Spagna, 00187 Rome Italy
Located in the heart of Rome, this vibrant and elegant square is surrounded by 18th-century buildings augmented by the colorful flowers that adorn the Spanish Steps. The elegant steps by Francesco de Sanctis (1723-1726) consist of twelve flights of varying width, which descend to the scenic Franciscan Church of Trinita dei Monti.
A Beautiful Family Experience in Rome 🇮🇹
★★★★★
The Spanish Steps are a beautiful and lively place to visit in Rome, especially in the evening. The atmosphere is fantastic, with stunning architecture and many nearby cafés and shops. It is a great spot for families to relax, take photos, and enjoy the charm of the city. Although it can get crowded, the experience is definitely worth it.

We stayed at an Air BNB close to this area and visited the Spanish Steps many times. It can get quite busy here but our favourite time to visit was at night.

Very crowded, barriers spoilt view
★★★☆☆
Unfortunately a little underwhelming. Busy square, what looked like road work signs on the steps and Unfortunately not what l was expecting. However l would imagine without the barriers and with flowers it would be lovely
Entrance to the metro nearby. Have to climb the steps to get to the church.
