Only 5 minute walk you can go to Fontana di Trevi. We went to visit a gelato shop which has over 150 different flavours. We also went to another cafe famous in espresso.

hangchoi:
Fontana di Trevi, we had been here in 2006. If you throw a coin into the fountain, your next trip to Rome will be guaranteed. We dare not to do it again as we do not expect we will visit again in near future.

There is a gelato shop next to the Fontana. Nothing special indeed, we took a picture of it just because we visited this shop in 2006.  :P

hangchoi:
We had dinner somewhere close to Fontana di Trevi. Time was in the evening and guess what, we decided to go to hotel on foot. We did a lot of walking in Rome because somehow it was quite difficult to utilize the public transport. Each spots is within walking distance, and generally you will spend almost the same length of time by public transport or on foot.

We walked a few hundreds meter from Fontana di Trevi and arrived at Altare della Patria (the so-called white cake). Then another a few hundred meter we would be at the Roman Forum, another hundred meter or so to Colosseo, then about 10 minute walk to hotel.

The night views of Roman Forum and Colosseo are a bit creepy......actually.

hangchoi:
Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore day and night.

We went back to hotel, passing by this church. This is the biggest church in Rome (except Vatican). The church was close at night and we decided to visit it tomorrow morning.

The next day we went there early but they had a ritual doing. A large group of visitors and pilgrims were waiting to enter.

hangchoi:
It was interesting that after they did the ritual at the entrance of the church, they continued the ritual inside and at the same time, allowed the visitor to enter the church. The church is huge and beautiful.

I found that they can provide counselling services with different languages.
