Aventine Hill

Very nice place with many gardens and amazing view of Rome. This is also where the famous key hole is located and which we did not care about as there was a huge line just to take a picture. We went until the end and then back to go down the stairs towards the river.

A tranquil and affluent residential hill offering some of Rome's most surprising views. The famous Keyhole of the Priory of the Knights of Malta provides a perfectly framed view of St. Peter's dome, while the Orange Garden offers a sweeping sunset panorama.

One of the best views in Roman. You can get a great panoramic view across the city. There is an old Roman church, which is plain but quite beautiful inside. You can also wander around the orange garden this is beautifully scented with citrus. It's also the site of the famous Avantine Keyhole. There was a long queue, but essentially you look through a tiny keyhole for an amazing view of St Peters. The best hill in the city!

This was a beautiful spot to wonder around with great views over the city. There was also the added bonus of the Aventine Keyhole. There was a line of people wanting to take their picture but it wasn't too long (but ensure your camera is ready to go when its your turn so you don't keep everyone else waiting behind you for too long).

I recommend it if you are going to be in the area and want to get a view of Rome from above. If you have limited time, or are concerned about the walking, then Castel Sant' Angelo is a much better option. I feel the view of the Vatican is better from there, and you can see Rome as well.

Must see location in Rome. Not overrun with tourists apart from that keyhole thing. Lovely orange grove with sweeping city views, quaint basilica with friendly priest who wished me a bona sera.

Also where you can see St Peter's dome through a keyhole, but having already seen it did not stop this time because of the bus loads of tourists waiting in line. It's one of the original 7 hills of Rome and well worth a visit

When in Rome do not miss to go on the Aventine Hill! You will be enchanted by the amazing panoramic views and the beautiful parks located there. The Aventine Hill is one of the seven hills on which Ancient Rome was built. We all know that St Peter's Dome is visible almost from everywhere due to its big dimension, here you also have the chance to look at the famous Dome directly from a Key Hole. Looking through the hole, you will be able to see the Cupola surrounded by trees and flowers too. How is it possible? Well, the Key Hole is in the door of thr 'secret garden': the gardens of the Priorato di Malta. Overall, its a good place where you find silence and enjoy the one of the views of Rome away from the noise of the city center.
