I can't imagine going to Rome and skipping the Spanish Steps, but the site and the surrounding shopping district of expensive stores are a disappointment. Nothing classy except the clothes and the prices.

it was awesome to the point i never wanted to leave it was like totally the party place man yeah!!

If you go to one square in Rome - go to this one. The Keats and Shelley museum by the side of the steps is also well worth a visit. Avoid Babbingtons Tea Rooms on the other side of the steps. The cheapest cups of tea are about £7 each and the chocolate cake, presumably per slice, also £8 or so.

I spent New Years Eve in the Piazza di Spagna this last year and OH MY GOD: it was like a war zone!! Those Romans have to be the craziest partiers in the world! An uncountable number of attendees, empty and full bottles of champagne and wine being thrown into the street square, fireworks being thrown into the street, all the while daring people ...
