George Samuel
★★★★★5 months agoVery beautiful square in Rome. The design is elegant and perfectly balanced.Entry is free but you pass security. The view of the Roman Forum from the back terrace is amazing. It can be crowded on weekends. Try to visit early. Worth seeing.
Mark Tiplady
★★★★★a month agoBeautiful little Michaelangelo redesigned piazza tucked away behind the Vittorio Emanuele monument that seems to be missed by many tourists and was never overly busy. On two sides there is the excellent Capitoline museum, which is well worth a visit and, again does not feature hordes of ravenous tourists so you can actually spend time with the exhibits without being swept away. Head to the rear of the Palazzo Senatorio for sensational view over the Forum and Palatine Hill.
