Advantages: Near to other attractions, great places to get lunch and coffee Disadvantages: Out of the way a bit.
Piazza del Popolo is north east of the city centre and located just above tourist attractions such the Spanish Steps and some great streets for shopping that the Italians frequently visit themselves. It's near to the mauseleum of Hadrian and just below a fantastic park, Borghese, that's great to eat lunch and relax in. The squares name is derrived from the modern Italian for 'the peoples square'. The church that stands on one side of the square, ... ...the city.
From the Piazza you can get to Borghese Park very easily (just up some stairs to the right), which has an excellent view over the city and many other attractions. It's a beautiful place to take a lunch bought from a small side street deli and sit, eat and enjoy the lush park. It's a large space so isn't overly crowded and is nice to visit to just get out of the way of all the crowds at the Spanish Steps. It's worth walking up Via del Babuino ...
