We spent our first afternoon in Rome visiting Saint Peter's Square and Saint Peter's Basilica. In the evening we visited La Fontana di Trevi and enjoyed the lively streets around the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, one of the areas of Rome I liked the most.
For five days we enjoyed the fantastic sightseeings of Rome and we walked for hours through the streets of this wonderful city.

Saint Peter's Square
Saint Peter's square is really large. You realize when you have to walk from one extreme to the other
Saint Peter's Basilica
La Pietà, one of the masterpieces of Michelangelo Buonarroti, can be admired inside Saint Peter's Basilica
Overview of the main nave of St. Peter's. It's really large and it seems a palace rather than a Basilica because of the floor of marble and the gold on the ceiling and walls
Walking around the Vatican
Fontana di Trevi
Around the Pantheon
The remains of the Adriano's Temple is now the facade of the Stock Exchange of Rome, which is located in a small and peaceful square called Piazza di Pietra
Pantheon
The surroundings of the Pantheon is always crowded and the atmosphere is really lively. It's a perfect place to have dinner
Piazza Navona
Castel Sant' Angelo
