Absolutely beautiful place. Go at sunset for views all across the city. The Architecture is stunning and you can spend ages wandering around at your leisure.
Amman citadel is one of the best historic sites in Amman. The bonus is that it is also an amazing viewpoint!

The Hashemite Plaza is a plaza spread over 20,000 sq and one of the most popular spots in Amman. Located on Al-Hashemi Street, it has pretty foundations, lovely gardens, and seating facilities across the open area. With eateries, restaurants, and cafes a visit to the Hashemite Plaza is a pleasant way to spend an eveningNamed after the Jordanian Royal family, the eastern end of the plaza is one of the best places to take a stroll and enjoy the surrounding views. Also, the Amman Book Festival is conducted here each year. The Hashemite Plaza is surrounded by a couple of landmark Roman ruins. The Roman Theatre looks splendid with its 6000 seats looming on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza. On the eastern side is Odeon, the smaller theatre. A short distance afar is Nymphaeum, the Roman public fountain. Besides, the Citadel Hill stands tall above the Hashemite Plaza and offers some great bird-eye views of it from its top.
It's worth a visit. I've been there three times. It's a really nice place.

Not too far from the Temple of Hercules is the Roman Amphitheater and one of the best examples of Roman theater that I have ever seen!
This place is actually in the local city center, on a very busy road, and suddenly this ruins appeared. There are a lot of sacred pillars in this square. It is especially suitable to go there and check in and take photos. There are also many local children who will come to guide you on how to take better photos than you can imagine, but you need to pay tips to the children.

Rainbow Street is a neighborhood where many foreign tourists live and play. It is also a good place to taste local food and enjoy the fun of life. Many bars and hotels are opened by foreigners. It is a relatively lively and safe area.
This block is near the hotel where we stayed. The street is quite wide. You can see many beautiful colorful paintings on the street. Vehicles are prohibited from passing through the street. There are many delicious restaurants and small hotels.
[Scenery] The street view is quite interesting
[Fun] Interesting visit
