Our first stop after check in was St Peter Cathedral. We took the subway from Rome Termini to Ottaviano - San Pietro. This station is about 8 minutes' walk from St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica. It costed 1.50euro/person/trip.
St Peter's Square & St. Peter's Basilica
The queue was super long, even to visit the cathedral so we just take some photos. Afterall, we visited the interior of the cathedral before.

Piazza Navona - a place with fountains and many artists displaying their works
“Tartufo” is a chocolate ice-cream truffle whose flavours conjure memories of long ago. It is a classic dessert in the Roman tradition but was created at Tre Scalini and is therefore widely-known as the “Tartufo Tre Scalini”. This was recommended by my colleague's tour guide and my colleague told me to try it but I do not find it very special. It costed 4euro.

Tre Scalini is a full cafe with tables outside.

Tripadvisor recommended tiramisu from Two sizes which had a assortment of tiramisu so we wanted to try. The shop is hidden in one of the lanes.
We ordered the normal tiramisu but it was not as nice as those from the restaurants.
Fountains at Navona - Fontana del Moro
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
From Navona, it was a short walk to the Pantheon. We were very familiar with this area already.
