    There is a metro station in front of the church. You don't have to climb the stairs if you are not capable. It's worth to look at the streets on the fist balcony.

    They are steps and they are in movies. It can get loud here with Spanish chanting and people being patriotic. Go super late at night when empty for better view

    The best thing you can do here ..is to go to the rooftop bar and enjoy the Spanish Steps views drinking a glass of wine. Comfortable, nobody will put his selfie stick before your face here😂

    Crowded placebos the heart of rome. Nice flair, view above the city - perfect at sunset! Beware of rose seller, annoying.

    Spanish steps had a great atmosphere and environment. Try to not run down the steps they are very slippery. Next to there is a great gelato place that is worth having. Expensive but great💕🍦

    Long staircase linking the Trinity Mountains and the Piazza di Spagna. Typical construction representing the Roman monumentality of the eighteenth century! We keep fit by mounting them!

    If you don’t want to walk back up, you don’t have to. Take the elevator in the Metro station to the left of the steps all the way up.

    I wondered why we were going to see some steps! Quite amazing though, and worth a visit. Photo is from the bottom and from the top

    Too many people... So many you cannot actually see the steps. The church on the top of the hill is quite impressive so is the view from up there. Getting down to the square you reach a shopping area.

    At the foot of the steps there is a fountain built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and uses Acqua Vergine aqueduct, as the water pressure here is low, Bernini designed the fountain to be a sinking boat.

    If planning to go here, best to early morning, just like in any other tourist spots in the city. People start to flock in the area from 8:00am, onwards, until the evening.

    Day or night there is always something going on - this evening a young lady burst into song and entranced everyone for 10 minutes and then just disappeared into the crowd.

    Very croweded during the day. But its a place you must see. And the streets around the monument are beautiful.

    Not much to see or do here. Still a great place to visit If you're in Rome. Just to say that you've you've been there. It's the widest staircase in Europe.

    Always overcrowded. Sacre Coeur steps in Paris are more worth it. Coming from me, hating Paris, loving Rome.

    Called “Spanish Steps” cos the Spanish embassy was located at the base of the stairs in the 17th century. Official name is “Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti”. Source: romesite.com, Wikipedia

    If you don’t grab a gelato and sit on the steps like Audrey Hepburn, you’re doing it wrong.

    I don't know why these stairs are so popular, in any case, one is right here if one wants to see many tourists bunched together.

    A classic Roman hang-out spot. But the street traders are a menace.

    Not so crowded in the morning (before 9am). But if you come later in the day, it’s not worth it
