Piazza Navona

Finish the perfect day in Rome with a trip to Navona square, one of the city’s most prominent squares. This space is among the most famous Rome highlights for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent The Nile, The Ganges, The Danube, and Rio de la Plata. Piazza Navona is the atelier of artists who arrive to peddle their wares daily.

Pantheon

A true masterpiece among the places to visit in Rome is included in your Rome in a Day tour: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly just a few centuries old, it isn’t easy to believe that the structure was finished in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. The square in front of the Pantheon is a gathering place for locals. Its decorative 16th-century fountain sits beneath an Egyptian obelisk. The entrance tickets can be paid on the spot if lines are reasonable for obvious time issues; € 5,00 for each participant.

Fontana di Trevi

Hidden down the city’s narrow backstreets, Fontana di Trevi is a secretive masterpiece and perhaps the most spectacular fountain in Rome. It stands at the end of one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied the Roman empire with water. This iconic setting attracts many visitors if only for them to toss a coin into Trevi Fountain waters to ensure their safe return to Rome at some stage in the future.
