Piazza Venezia to the Spanish Steps
Map of Piazza Venezia to the Spanish Steps
The Rome of the Grand Tour era, this region was colonized by English lords and ladies in the 19th century and it still remains one of the most picturesque areas of the city. Back when, artists used to troll the area around the Spanish Steps for models. At the foot of the steps are two relics of that period: the Keats-Shelley Memorial House and Babington's Tea Rooms. Fanning out from its Piazza di Spagna are streets that remain a shopper's paradise. Via Condotti is perhaps the best-known shopping street in Italy, with many of the designer names that have made the Italian fashion industry a world leader.
