We walked through old streets and tiny piazzas in the historic centre, exploring places like the
Galleria Via del Sunari with its fine sculptures and arches.
Just across the street is the Fontana della Tartarughe.
This is one end of the Jewish Quarter where there were lots of restaurants and shops and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
At the end of this street we found Piazza B Cairoli which is surrounded by some very smart properties.
We walked up Via dei Giubbonari which has some interesting buildings and small independent shops.
This led us to Campo de Fiori with its colourful daily market.
We crossed a corner and entered Piazza Novana, the heart of the historic centre.
Musicians and street entertainers give this area a lively atmosphere.
The baroque style Neptune fountain is one of three in this piazza.
We walked up Via G Zanardella to Ponte Umberto I and took a photo of the Palazzo di Giustizia on the other side. Up river we saw boats and floating restaurants and at the next bridge we crossed to the Via de la Corso with its expensive international stores.
The final place we visited was the Piazza del Popolo before getting the metro back to our hotel.
