Helpful Tips for Parents

Share Fun Stories: kids love stories, so make the visit more interesting by sharing a few fun facts! The Spanish Steps were built in the 18th century and got their name from the nearby Spanish Embassy. And the Barcaccia Fountain at the bottom is inspired by a shipwreck, representing a half-sunken boat from a historic flood.

With 135 steps, kids (and adults!) may need to take a break along the way. Remember, sitting and eating on the steps is prohibited, but you can stop at the base or top to catch your breath and take in the views.
