The first stop on this walk is Campo De' Fiori. It would be best to visit this Piazza in the morning between eight and eleven. This is when the open air market takes place. It can be an overwhelming experience if you aren't prepared to barter and argue over the price of a piece of fruit.
The second stop on the walk is Piazza Navona. This is the largest Piazza in Rome and was designed by Bernini. The focus of the Piazza are its fountains, the largest being Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi which holds a large Egyptian Obelisk. Good restaurants and artists become more prevelent as you walk from south to north.
The final stop is Piazza della Rotunda. This piazza contains one of the oldest and most visited sights in Rome, the Pantheon. The piazza is a great place to enjoy ancient art and architecture but also a bustling social scene. Each cafe has an umbrellaed patio in front of them. These provide a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine and marvel at the Catholic converted Pagan temple that dominates the space.
