When you take your short, easy Rome Ciampino airport transfer you'll no doubt begin thinking about the sights of the city you’d most like to see. Perhaps the most familiar ones will make it onto your list, such as the Colosseum and the Roman Forum for example. However there are others, too, so make sure the following three sights are on your list of things to see and do. The Spanish Steps These are rightly famous for their standing as the widest set of steps in all of Europe. They have featured in many films, including most famously in Roman Holiday in 1953, which starred Audrey Hepburn. The steps are nearly three hundred years old although, in fact, history tells us there were ideas to construct them long before then. You can expect the steps to be very busy with hordes or tourists, but braving the crowds is well worth the experience of seeing the famous steps in person. Piazza Navona Your Rome Ciampino airport transfer may take you past this most famous of piazzas, depending on the route you take. The squares or piazzas make a common sight in the city, but one of the most popular is Piazza Navona, dating from the 1st century AD. It boasts the dramatic fountain, Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, and has featured most recently in the film Angels and Demons, as well as La Dolce Vita, featuring Sophia Loren. The square itself is quite large and is the perfect place to wander around people watching before grabbing a coffee at one of the many nearby cafes. Capitoline Hill As your Rome Ciampino airport transfer makes its way in to the city proper, the layout may become clearer. But in the past, the most famous features of the city were the Seven Hills of Rome. These are not as well known today, but one can still be easily found in the shape of Capitoline Hill. You will find Capitoline Hill in between the Roman Forum and the Campus Martius. Piazza del Campidoglio is also here as well as the Capitoline Museums, which are well worth a look if you have the time. There are so many amazing places to see after you arrive on the easy Rome Ciampino airport transfer. With so much to look forward to, these three sights are merely the start. Take the time to simply wander around and lose yourself in the magic, mystery and history of the Italian capital and fall in love with one of the world's truly magnificent cities.
