The Spanish Steps, one of the world's most famous open-air staircases, is as big and lively as a piazza.
The curving balustrades of the Spanish Steps beneath the French Trinità dei Monti church are the result of a dispute between the Popes and the French crown which dragged on for decades. The elegant stairway was built in 1723.

Another one of those classic Roman spots, these stairs are probably one of the world's most famous hangout spots and make excellent perches for people watching.
A massively popular meeting place in the heart of Rome, adjacent to Piazza del Popolo, Flaminio Village, Villa Borghese, and Via Condotti - Rome's toniest shopping street. The Keats House is also snug against the steps themselves. Keep an eye out for pickpockets in this part of town; a firm "no' will help dissuade the flower and gadget vendors.
The Spanish Steps are a sight for sore eyes! When its sunny you can spend hours there, just sit down and enjoy!
