Back in the day, the way back before time, Roman elites would come here to take a load off, chilax, and cool off a bit. By the way, for those who need to get their run on, this is a good option.

Better late than never! ;) This small park is known for its panoramic view of St. Peter's Basilica dome and is located on Aventine Hill, right next to the Basilica di Santa Sabina (must see!) and nearby the Aventine Keyhole (see pics & video included in this review). IMO, I wouldn't make a trip solely to see this site but would definitely check out if you're already in the area since park is a nice spot to relax for a bit because it is shaded w/ tall orange trees and there are multiple benches located around the park for guests to enjoy. Here are a few additional helpful tidbits : - - - no restrooms onsite - - - does have a water fountain - - - no fee to visit Hope this info helps! Rebecca visiting from Austin, Texas (United States)

This is a small park on a hill that over looks Rome in the direction of the Vatican. You definitely…read moreneed a car to get up here and parking has to be paid for using a City of Rome parking app. The park is enclosed by a high wall and it is so quiet. Once you enter, the city noise is all but gone. As you approach the viewing terrace you can see the Vatican Basilica in the distance. The Basilica has the optical illusion effect of getting smaller the closer to the terrace you walk so check it out from the end of the walkway and watch it shrink as you walk toward it. There is one of the potable water fountains you'll find all over Rome here in the park. You can definitely refill you water bottle at any of these water fountains around town including this one. The park is a short walk from the 'Key hole'. You might see a line of people waiting there for a look and some days there is a food truck there as well.

My boyfriend and I made quite the trek up from the Trastevere area to get the the Gianicolo Hill. On my travel research I really wanted to come here at Noon since they would shoot a blank cannon daily, a continued tradition since ancient times as a way to signal time. We missed the cannon due to other travel plans, but it was still nice to walk up and appreciate the view of the city. There is a bus stop at the top, but the route had some delays and we waited a bit for it to come. Not a necessary visit, but great if you like nature and a panoramic view.

We got to view it because we had a tour of the museums that included the gardens. I believe you can only view it by controlled guided tour! Our tour guide took us through describing all the different sculptures and their significance to the Vatican. Many were gifts from heads of state. Others were placed with significance form popes from previous times. There are so many places for the people who live in the Vatican to come and find peace or relax and reflect! There is even a helipad in the back corner so the Pope can hop in and head off to his summer villa. On our tour it was even mentioned that some Popes enjoyed hunting back in the day of different animals that roamed the garden. Awesome...ancient Pope's hunted! Maybe Phil Robinson (aka Duck Dynasty) could come hunt in the garden with uncle Psi and the current Pope! You can get some different perspectives of the different buildings of the vatican from a different vantage point and really appreciate and see a different natural outdoor beauty of the Vatican!

The grounds are very large and you could spend hours here. You very much feel like you're in an isolated nature preserve and not in Rome. There's also a stone staircase with a fountain at the top that's just lovely. Keep going up to the garden's western limits and it's a short walk away from the Garibaldi monument and Fontana dell'Acqua Paola (once you leave you can't get back in)

I saw the 'Cascata del marmore' of Terni twice, once from the summit of the precipice, and again from the valley below. The lower view is far to be preferred, if the traveller has time for one only; but from either point of view it is worth all the cascades and torrents of Switzerland put together". I totally concur!
