Here I am sitting on them! And they were... Just okay. These steps were definitely worth seeing, but I found them to be the biggest tourist trap in all of Rome. Perhaps it was just the night we were there, but the peddlers were p-u-s-h-y.
They were selling the most random of items such as... A dolphin gun that blows bubbles? What does it have to do with Rome? The peddlers would try to demonstrate their products to you and shove roses into your hands at least 12 times. In any event, we made it to the top of the steps, random souvenirs free. Amen.
