In an Italian place known for its narrow back alleys and winding streets, Via del Corso has become popular as the only straight lane in the historic center of Rome. The iconic stretch of thin street extends from Porta del Popolo to Capitoline Hill and grants travelers access to Baroque churches and other nearby landmarks. Visitors will locate the picturesque street that once served as the circuit for Roman Carnival to be the ideal spot for people watching, as locals and travelers the same stroll along the sidewalks as a feature of a customary passeggiata—a casual, leisurely stroll.
