The whole town of Rome is sort of a free outside museum with historic structures, sites, piazzas, all over the place the frugal traveler looks. There are several sights worth the entrance fee like the Sistine Chapel (within the Vatican City, a walled enclave inside the town of Rome) quite a few the not-to-be-missed sights are free, and you will enjoy the trip of Rome on a budget .
Trevi Fountain
Trevi Fountain is really a Baroque masterpiece created from marble. Open to all, legend states when visitors throw a gold coin over their shoulders, they’ll be sure to go back to Rome.
St. Peter’s Basilica
Touted as possibly the biggest church in Christianity, travelers can’t say they have seen the religious sites around the globe without having to pay St. Peter’s Basilica a trip. Most Papal events occur at St. Peter’s. And also the frugal traveler is going to be very happy to observe that there’s no entrance fee. Highlights would be the amazing dome and Michelangelo’s Pietà.
Note: St. Peter’s includes a strict dress code (whenever we attended, not really shorts were permitted) so dress modestly.
Pantheon
The Pantheon is really a magnificent building filled with giant bronzed doorways, a columned entrance, along with a huge dome. It has the tombs of Raphael as well as a couple of Italian Nobleman. The Pantheon was built like a Roman Temple and then consecrated like a Catholic Church.
Admission is free of charge.
Spanish Steps
I believe there’s anything pleasing than located on the steps from the Spanish steps, and individuals watching. Years back, I’d have stated eating gelato also but government bodies have banned much loved practice.
Linking two piazzas, the Piazza di Spagna in the base, and also the Piazza Trinità dei Monti at the very top, the 138 steps are known among the longest and largest staircases throughout Europe.
Colosseum
There’s an entrance fee for that Colosseum however a tour round the outdoors from the ancient Roman amphitheatre is free of charge (plus keen eyed frugal travelers can peak inside). It’s truly just like a scene from the gladiator movies. I possibly could almost hear the crowds roar.
