Dating from 125 BC, the Pantheon is today the most complete Roman building in the city. It is worth a look even though it has been a church since the Middle Ages. Admission is free and it is located in the centre of the city in Piazza della Rotonda, one of the city's most charming squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"872\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-872x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-872x1024.jpg 872w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-768x902.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-277x325.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1-600x705.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-3-1.jpg 1022w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An Aperol Spritz with a view of the Pantheon is delicious but expensive.

They can be very affordable, for example a small bar in Piazza G Belli serves prosecco for a third of the price of a bar overlooking the Pantheon. In return, you can eavesdrop on the discussions of the 'locals'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"804\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-1024x804.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-1024x804.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-768x603.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-414x325.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1-600x471.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bild-4-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Everyday life comes close to the tourist in Trastevere.
