Panoramic views of Rome, historic cannon fire, sunset vistas
"Perched above the city, this viewpoint lays out Rome like a living tapestry, the Tiber weaving through terracotta roofs and domes; as dusk falls, golden hues bathe the scene for a perfect capture. Don’t overlook the wall itself—its detailed inscriptions and bold design tell a story—and many shots feature visitors sitting on the edge, gazing over the Eternal City for a contemporary twist on a historic panorama." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This is a leisurely stroll beginning in Trastevere and winding up via Garibaldi to the top of Janiculum Hill. The mood changes from urban at the beginning to monumental at the end; it's a bit of work, but rewards those willing to do it with a unique perspective on Roman history and some of the best views of the city. Best to do the walk during the day, or early in the morning if it's summer. If you're on a tight schedule, don't want to brave the hill in the heat, or just want to get a view, skip the hike and take a taxi directly to Piazzale Garibaldi." - Katie Parla, Maresa Manara
"A romantic hill rising behind Trastevere that rewards visitors with sweeping panoramic views across rooftops, ancient ruins, monuments and Baroque domes — a favored spot for atmospheric vistas." - SilverKris
