Churches and Piazzas Route
There is so much to see in Rome and it can be tiring on the feet!
This journey is going to be so much easier than it looks as the Metro is used to get from one end to another and then the distances in between become relatively small and manageable, I assure you. Overall, there is about 2 hours of walking just between the various points, but with the metro taking some of the strain, it will be less than that. Generally every stop is about 15 minutes apart at the most from the next.
As with all of these Vincolis, my routes start out from the colosseum.
Here is what we can see on this route
Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli - best known for housing Michelangelo's statue of Moses. You will not need to spend much time here. It is about 25 minutes to and from Colosseo Metro.
Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano - The church is the oldest and highest ranking of the four major papal basilicas as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome, holding the unique title of "archbasilica". This is at most 25 minutes by Metro from Colosseo with a 5 minutes walk at the end.
Travel by metro from San Giovanni to Flamini, it takes approximately 10 minutes and then a 2 minute walk to the Piazza Del Popolo
A 10 minute walks gets you to the Sant'Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso
Museo e Cripta dei Cappuccini is a 15 minute walk.
From Piazza Barberini, home of the Museum and Crypt, you can take a 10 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain. It is then a 5 minute walk to Piazza Colonna. Alternatively, save the Trevi Fountain for the night when it is lit up and walk for 12 minutes directly to Piazza Colonna.
After Colonna, walk to the Piazza Della Rotunda and see the The Parthenon, it is only a 5 minute walk.
The The Piazza Navona is another very short walk of 5 minutes.
Now it is an 8 minutes walk to the Largo di Torre Argentine, the site where Julius Caesar was killed.
Finally, we walk 9 minutes to Basilica di San Nicola in Carcere and have a look at the crypt!
Now, to get back to your hotel, it is a 7 minute walk to the bus station at Capolinea, or a further 16 minutes back to metro at Colosseo.
