Janiculum Hill

This is a must do!!! From Trastevere go up Via Garibaldi until Fontana Acqua Paola and then take the Passeggiata del Gianicolo. From the huge Piazza you'll have such an amazing view from the city. Also nice that there's much less tourists in this area. Beware of the typical scammers doing games to lure your money.

The Passeggiata del Gianicolo follows the spine of the hill in a long, shallow curve, framed by double rows of plane trees. To the inside sit walls and villa fronts; to the outside the ground drops away and the parapet gives repeated openings over the historic centre, each bend shifting the line of domes and towers. Along the verge, marble busts mark out patriots of 1849 and the wider Risorgimento, turning the walk into a linear gallery of names and dates. You pass the junction for the ossuary, the Garibaldi monuments, the lighthouse and the emplacement for the noon cannon, all plugged into the same strip of tarmac that reads as balcony road, memorial route and viewpoint at once.

I've seen many city views from scenic spots across the globe. Most not obstructed by tall trees. By comparison, this one was just ok. In a word - underwhelming. You won't miss anything if you skip it or the view a few kilometers away at Terrazza Panoramica Passeggiata del Gianicolo.

I walked here from Prati on a cool sunny day in January. I can imagine summer it might be a bit much but that day was perfect. Gorgeous view from the summit, little glimpses of the city as you head up - a cool monument from Argentina on the way and I don’t know how the Fins rate so highly but a beautiful mansion near the summit owned by Finland. A large piazza with a busker and a national hero mounted. It’s a great, low key way to spend a couple hours.

On strolling up to the top of the hill, you can visit a very old church and several spots that give you a panoramic view of Rome. St. Peter's dome is in the line of sight through the trees. A very nice place to visit while in town. Not many tourists so you can have all the time you want.

Difficult to reach on foot as it is on top of a hill. Easy to reach by car or bus. Very beautiful monument .A big garden nearby.You can take nice sunset view photos and enjoy a small snack or a soft drink sitting in the edge. ( no cafe). Cool breeze.There is usually someone playing music.

The Janiculum Hill is known as the "eighth hill of Rome". While not one of the fabled Seven Hills of ancient Rome because it sits west of the Tiber, it is one of the highest points in the modern city and offers some of the most spectacular panoramic views.

Beautiful view - worth the walk! Sunset views are amazing, spots to grab beverages, and live music at times.
