Gianicolo

The highest of the city’s hills offers fabulous views. Active types can tackle a walk that kicks off in Trastevere, snakes up Via Garibaldi and through Piazza Garibaldi before descending towards the Vatican, with spectacular views along the way. Make your way past the Garibaldi Monument and follow Passeggiata del Gianicolo, which eventually turns into Via del Gianicolo. The path lets out at Piazza della Rovere and takes an hour and a half.

Alternatively, you can go by taxi a half hour before sunset to the Fontanone, a monumental fountain overlooking the city. The terraced area in front of this magnificent late-17th-century fountain has one of the most romantic vistas in the world. Afterwards, dine at Antico Arco.
