The Spanish Steps & Piazza di Spagna area of Central Roma
One of the main shopping streets near the Spanish Steps. Many of the major shopping streets in central Roma are closed to cars. This street specializes in high end stores. The next street over specializes in food stores.

The Baths of Caracalla
The Roma Metro. Very overcrowded. The city only has two lines, with another under construction. One of the reasons for the long construction times and the limited lines, is all the ancient foundations found while boring tunnels. A local actually came over and told me not to take photos of the graffiti covered trains. They may look dirty, but they are still cool even if locals don't like them
i was really surprised that the trains in rome were covered in graffiti. and the metro stations were so dingy. it was like visiting the 1970s new york i never got to see!
