Is there anything that points his death place?

No one knows for sure, but the Catholic church makes assumptions as usual but this is not hard evidence or Biblical.

Under the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter healed the sick and raised the dead. He made a trip to Antioch (Galatians 2:1), and possibly Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:12). It is believed that Peter later traveled to Rome, and was martyred there by crucifixion in 64 AD. He is said to have requested that he be crucified upside down, because he said he wasn't worthy of dying in the same way as Jesus.
Peter wrote two Epistles, called Peter 1 and Peter 2, in the New Testament. Papias, a disciple of the Apostle John, wrote that Mark's Gospel was influenced by Peter's own writings.

Tradition (along with Origen and Tertullian) say: "Peter was crucified at Rome with his head downwards, as he himself had desired to suffer". As the place of execution may be accepted with great probability the Neronian Gardens on the Vatican, since there, according to Tacitus, were enacted in general the gruesome scenes of the Neronian persecution; and in this district, in the vicinity of the Via Cornelia and at the foot of the Vatican Hills, the Prince of the Apostles found his burial place. Of this grave (since the word tropaion was, as already remarked, rightly understood of the tomb) Caius already speaks in the third century. For a time the remains of Peter lay with those of Paul in a vault on the Appian Way at the place ad Catacumbas, where the Church of St. Sebastian is today.

Actually, shouldn't we be more interested in the history of the Christian church and the 2 letters that Peter wrote than just where his bones lie, no offense intended.

The deaths of Peter and Paul in Rome is well documented in many early historical documents. The fact that it isn't "biblical" is of course completely irrelevant. The Bible isn't a history book. If you want divine revelation, look in the Bible. If you want historical facts, look at historical records.

He was crucified in Rome. He was crucified upside down at his request, because he felt he wasn't worthyto die as Jesus did.
