Janiculum Hill

Free public park that offers great views of central Rome. You have to go up a bit of an incline in the beginning. Wear comfortable and supportive shoes. I went alone on a weekend afternoon (young female) and felt safe.

Nice view over of the roofs of Rome, Especially at sunset time. Easy walk up, you can also drive up by taxi/car. No entrance fee.

Loved the walk up the hill and steps to this hidden gem. Busker singing, watching the sun go down. Not too crowded and no tourist buses or tour groups. Good walk along the skyline overlooking Rome.

The views up here are great of St Peters and of all of Rome it was beautiful as the sun went down. There’s a cool bar and seating area as well as a cool monument to explore.

Absolute peace in the middle of Rome's typical, beautiful chaos. For anyone staying in the Trastevere area (or even passing through), take the time for a 15-20 minute walk up the gentle hills to the Gianicolo overlook. You can see about 80% of the city from there, and the two times we visited, there were no more than 20-30 other people on the entire terrace. There are snacks and souvenirs available, and both walking trails and city streets if you want to change the scenery on the way. No entry fee and few crowds, the polar opposite of the Vatican or Colosseum -- and just as meaningful to our enjoyment of this amazing city.

Great views of the city and much quieter than the centre. A great place to chill out or just cut between the Vatican area and Trastevere. Quite a steep hill if walking.

Gorgeous views! We stayed in Trastevere just down the hill so I appreciated having places nearby for great views and food.

It was surreal! The mix of colors, the city views… it was a beautiful place to kick off our trip in Rome, my husband and I were so happy we went there and we walked down from the hill, and came across the Fontana Dell Aqua and the Mausoleo Ossario Garibaldino.
