#6 Castel Sant'Angelo
The most famous castle in Rome, one with a secret passage to the Vatican (shhh), Castel Sant'Angelo is a must-visit. Not only for the multiple picture-spots it provides (bang opposite it, and on the roof) but for the sheer history it carries. But also for the pictures. 😛
P.S. you can actually go up to the roof for a great view of the city.

#7 Trastevere
A neighbourhood that puts all others to shame (we're kidding), Trastevere is the place to walk around and take in the city. It's like they say, any city is best pictured on foot - get into all the nooks and the crannies, and get good pictures while you're at it!
#8 Campo de' Fiori
A market of flowers is the answer to every question in life, we think. After all, who doesn't love a beautiful bouqet of flowers - to pose with or gift. Add these colourful flowers to your pictures, and stand out on an anotherwise bland feed. 😛
#9 Arch of Constantine
The largest surviving Roman triumphal arch, and the last great monument of Imperial Rome, is worth taking a picture with, don't you think? In fact, it doesn't help that it's awe-inducing too!
#10 Forum Romanum
The Roman Forum, also known as Forum Romanum is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of ancient government buildings in the heart of Rome. Did you know that these ruins actually pose as a good photo-op once you're done learning more about them? We bet you didn't.

P.S. it's one of those places that's beautiful inside and out. That means more pictures.
