Spanish Steps

A wide set of 138 steps begin their ascent from the Piazza di Spagna, leading up to the Piazza Trinità dei Monti where the eponymous church sits. A sterling example of Roman Baroque beauty, the Spanish Steps were built between 1723 and 1725 by architect Francesco de Sanctis after the city received funds from French diplomat Étienne Gueffier. The Spanish Steps are collectively known as the widest stairway in Europe and are recognized as an iconic landmark in Rome's capital, attracting locals and tourists from all occupations. The Fountain of the Old Boat greets the steps at its base, and toward the right, is located the house of English poet John Keats. While the colossal sweep of this historic stairway is enough to invite attention, it appears even more captivating when corners of the steps are intermittently adorned in colored azaleas.

Piazza di Spagna, Rome, Italy, 00187

Galeries Lafayette

This branch of the famous Parisian department store adds a touch of Mediterranean elegance to the German capital. Situated on Friedrichstraße, eastern Berlin's premier shopping street, the store offers the latest fashions from designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin. The design of the building, with its sunlit interior and glass roof, is stunning, another reason for a visit. The food hall in the basement is in the same league as KaDeWe's legendary food department and is a great place to come and sample a couple of fresh oysters.

House of Fraser

This location of the House of Fraser group was one of the 56 branches that the brand operated. Towering six floors above the city, the stylish department store beckoned shoppers with versatile products from distinctive brands. As of 2018, the brand has been taken over by Sports Direct.

Sardinia

Touted to be one of the most periodically ancient lands in the continent, Sardinia boasts of an unmatched Mediterranean charm.

Orto Botanico

The Botanical Garden was laid out in 1853 but only opened in 1866. The favorable microclimate means that tropical plants as well as those typical of Sardinia can be grown. In 1966, a section dedicated to medicinal plants was opened growing 150 different species. The gardens are home to more than 600 species of tree, including Ficus, Phytolacca, Dracena, Eucalyptus, Nolina and Casuarina. Unique to Italian gardens and perhaps throughout Europe is the Argania Sideroxylon Roem from Morocco. The gardens also enclose wells and water tanks that were built during the Roman era.

Mars Bar & Restaurant

Mars Bar & Restaurant is definitely the place for the hard-working crowd in SoMa. Do not be fooled by the stern doorman; once you get past him, it's all smiles and hospitality. Drinks are tall, strong, and served fast, even when the place is jammed. The back patio is perfect for relaxing in the shade, but don't expect to get too much personal space. Settle down in an overstuffed booth, order a basket of French fries, and groove to the Motown tunes while you people-watch. Later, shoot some pool or throw some darts. This is the kind of bar you can visit alone because you will not stay that way for long. Live music of various kinds is thoroughly enjoyable at the bar. Only the bar area is open on Saturdays.
