On our first ABD (Viva Italia) in 2008 we stayed in the Bernini Bristol in Piazza Barberini, which is pretty much center of the city. Walking to local areas of interest was simple. On our 2018 trip we stayed in the Gran Melia which is further out. Still, we walked down the hill and enjoyed our pre-tour arrival day starting with the Camp D'Fiori. I had read about it but never visited. What a food circus! Meat & Cheese shops, small boutiques in the alleyway. This is an ancient marketplace and worth the visit. Also this Italian adventure was supposed to include Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, but we never got to either place but both of these places were left off on this last trip. This was a disappointment! Everyone should experience Piazza Navona on a Saturday evening!
I strongly suggest to everyone on this itinerary to book a pre and post night for yourself. You will not be sorry.
Do you have a list of "don't miss" for those pre & post nights? ;-)
