The 37 best spots to watch the sunset in Rome

This was one of my favorite places in Rome! The walk up to the castle over the bridge lined with angel statues is absolutely beautiful — every one is different and worth stopping for a photo. Once inside, it feels like stepping back through layers of history. The rooms, the artwork, and even the winding stairways are fascinating. The best part is reaching the very top terrace where you get an incredible view of the city and St. Peter’s Basilica — especially from the windows. There’s also a little café up there where you can relax with a cappuccino and just take it all in. Plan to give yourself a couple of hours — it’s much larger inside than it looks from the street. Definitely one of those places that feels magical and peaceful, even in busy Rome. Highly recommend!

We visited Castel Sant'Angelo after sunset and even without going inside, it was a breathtaking experience. The castle is dramatically lit against the night sky, creating a powerful and majestic silhouette that towers over the Tiber River. The atmosphere around the castle and on the Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge was romantic and serene. Seeing the illuminated angels on the bridge with the castle as a backdrop felt like something out of a movie. It was much less crowded than during the day, making it perfect for a peaceful evening stroll. While we're sure the interior is fascinating, the exterior alone is absolutely worth seeing at night. It's a fantastic free way to appreciate one of Rome's most iconic landmarks in a truly magical light. Highly recommend for an evening walk!

One of the most impressive historical landmarks in Rome. The architecture is absolutely stunning, and the views from the top are breathtaking you can see the Tiber River, St. Peter’s Basilica, and much of the city’s skyline. The interior is filled with fascinating history, from ancient Roman times to its use as a papal fortress. The museum inside is well-organized with informative displays and beautiful artworks. I really enjoyed walking through the corridors, courtyards, and terraces that tell the story of centuries past. It’s definitely a must-visit spot in Rome, especially around sunset when the light makes the whole place glow.

Castel Sant’Angelo impressed me with its massive structure and stunning views over Rome. Walking through the ramps, terraces, and old corridors felt like stepping between centuries of history. The rooftop panorama was the highlight, offering a beautiful look at the Tiber River and the city. A fascinating and memorable visit overall.

Time well spent in Rome, even if all you want are views of Rome! We read everything about the castles extensive history. From the outside it is very obvious where it gets added on and added on. I like that dichotomy of the sparseness in the mosaleum and then the richness of the papal apartments.. There were lots of lovely exhibits and vantage spots. You do need to watch your surroundings, we saw many people miss small exhibits that were just to the left or right if a stair. Only about 5 people we saw walked around the entire castle on the outter gates, missing some great views of the bridge below. Not really for people with mobility issues, although the castle certainly tries, there are just a lot of stairs!

Phenomenal and beautiful castle almost in the center of the Rome. I can recommend to do a tour inside where is a lot of things to see. Inside you can see for example : models of the castle from past, different soldiers armours from the different times ago, swords, axes a many other things . It is like one big museum. From the top of the castle is unbelievable view for all Rome. And you can see the statue of saint Angelo. Absolutely phenomenal !! You must see it .

An iconic symbol of Rome, and one of my favorite places in this city. They always have one or more small rotating exhibits that offer an excuse to come back over and over again. Beautiful in the daytime, even better after dark and illuminated. Don't miss the strategically located bar ristorante with breathtaking views of Rome and of St Peter's. Reservations for general admission to the castle generally not necessary unless a popular exhibit is happening. A separate ticket will be required if you're interested in a tour of the "Passetto", the Pope's secret escape passage. Advanced reservations and planning are highly recommended for this tour that may be only on limited days and times.

Beautiful place to watch the sunset! 🌅 There was some construction going on when I visited, which partly blocked the view, but I still managed to capture some lovely photos. The garden is smaller than I expected, yet absolutely charming. Peaceful atmosphere — people strolling around, a man playing the violin, birds singing, and beautiful trees all around. It felt like a little fairytale. ✨

Beautiful gardens with a beautiful view of Romes skyline great for a sunset. Unfortunately there is restoration work at the moment so ruins what could be a magical view but when it is finished it will be great again

Beautiful garden! Pity that the place to see the panoramic view is currently under construction. Everyone minds their own business whether it’s dog owners having fun with their four-legged friends, a yoga group, or a serene watercolor painter. The garden itself has a very calming atmosphere.

Cool spot for sunset, but it's under construction, so you can't go on the steps. You will need to put your phone through the fence to get a sunset Pic. Gets busy for sunset, so get there 30 min before or you won't have a spot to stick phone through the fence for the photo.

They had close the balcony. There is not enough to see. The walk to the garden is nice and the neighborhood is full of history . There is ‘ the mouth of the truth’ in the front garden door and free drinking watter

Beautiful views and gardens. Serene and stunning location. Definitely a must try when visiting Rome.

Good place to relax. But the view of Rome isn't accessible because of the reconstruction. Deep shade. Dogs can visit but they must be on the line.

A clock on a small island surrounded by water. Perfect to take a picture and see the time! Absolutely gorgeous to see!

Water clock in a working condition from the 18th century. The clock is placed a bit high in a small lake in the Borghese garden.

I just love it 😻 no tourists, finally some quiet space after day spent on sightseeing

Tucked away in the gardens of the Pincian Hill (Pincio), just above Piazza del Popolo, the Orologio ad Acqua surrounding gardens offer panoramic views of Rome, and the peaceful environment provides a welcome break from the city’s bustle. It’s a place where you can sit, reflect, and appreciate the slower rhythms of time — both literally and metaphorically. Tips: Combine it with a sunset walk through Villa Borghese or a visit to the nearby Terrazza del Pincio for a full experience. Great spot for photos, but even better for those who love quirky historical finds. There’s not a lot of signage, so read up a little before you go or bring a guide.

This is a fascinating hydrochronometer, designed and built in 1867 by Giovanni Battista Embriaco, a Dominican priest from Liguria with a passion for clockmaking and engineering. Installed in 1873 in the large park of Villa Borghese in Rome, the clock measures time from the center of an oval fountain in Viale dell'Orologio, designed by architect Gioacchino Ersoch. Presented at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, the clock created by the brilliant Embriaco immediately attracted the interest of many international experts, who bought the patent to embellish the public fountains of their cities.

There are many good view points to look out . And bicycle rent place also there.

Great to see in the park, enjoyed watching the mechanics of the water functioning clock!

Awesome and powerful!!!! The artworks and architecture leave you feeling inspired and uplifted! This place is so holy. You feel the power of God here. The building itself is an architectural marvel, and the inside is filled with incredible works of art. It’s definitely worth the trip to see it, you will be amazed. If you can handle many stairs, it is definitely worth it to go to the top of the dome. There’s an elevator to take you halfway up, but you’ll have to climb the stairs the rest of the way and it’s not an easy climb. However, the view from the top is breathtaking and you can see the entire Vatican City and Rome. Be prepared for large crowds of tourists everywhere inside and outside! I went on a weekday during off-season and it was still packed. Loved all the artwork of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ! All glory to God! Amen!

Another mind blowing historical architectural marvel! Entered via an entrance from underneath after visiting the Necropolis (did a tour, absolutely amazeballs... different review). Visited St Peter's Tomb underground (controversial but not for a google map debate ;)... thought provoking though!). Cool that I could walk 'upstairs' and see the High Alter that is situated directly above and how everything was built around the tomb after seeing the different levels below. Historically and religiously significant, beautiful, opulent. There's lots of people as expected, just like you see on YouTube lol. But its worth it, and... you're in Rome. There's lots of people. The bascillica/s were basically built to keep the remains of St Peter safe. The first bascillica was built in the 4th century and the current bascillica started in 1506 and took just over a century to build. In this timeframe 20 popes oversaw its development keeping the tomb protected. Different artistic/architectural influences over time including Michelangelo's great hand which gives you some idea of the vibe there.

Amazing basilica. Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. Amazing arhitecture, artwork, sculptures, paintings. Incredible view from the top of the dome, if you visit the basilica be sure to not miss out if you are not afraid of higts, and you are not claustrophobic because the way up tends to take you through narrow stair ways. It's an amazing place, one of a kind in the world at this magnitude. Buy tickets in advance.

The visit to Saint Peter's Basilica was a must see, especially during special religious days or events. The wait line to get in was long, but it moved fairly quickly. Security was easy to get through. Once in the Basilica you will be struck with beautiful and awe at the size, splendor, and beauty of the space. Every wall is decorated. The dome is absolutely beautiful. Even though there were many people inside there was a dedicated space for personal prayer near the front of the alter. There is so much detail and history within the walls of Saint Peter's and the Vatican. I would most definitely recommend anyone to visit Vatican City and step into the Basilica.

St. Peter’s Basilica is one of those rare places that completely exceeds expectations, no matter how many photos or documentaries you’ve seen before visiting. The moment you step through the doors, you’re struck by its sheer scale and splendor — the soaring dome, the intricate marble floors, the soft echo of footsteps, and the quiet sense of reverence that fills the air. It’s not just architecture; it’s a living masterpiece. Michelangelo’s Pietà is an emotional centerpiece — delicate, powerful, and impossibly detailed. Bernini’s grand bronze canopy rises like a sculpture of light beneath the dome, drawing your eyes upward in awe. Every inch of the basilica feels alive with centuries of devotion, artistry, and history. Climbing to the top of the dome is an experience not to be missed. The narrow stairways and spiral paths eventually open up to one of the most breathtaking views in all of Rome — the Vatican, St. Peter’s Square, and the city’s terracotta rooftops stretching out toward the horizon. Go early to avoid crowds, dress respectfully, and give yourself time to linger. St. Peter’s Basilica isn’t just a stop on a sightseeing list — it’s a place that leaves a quiet, lasting impression on your heart.

Absolutely beautiful! The moment you walk in, you can’t help but be amazed by the high ceilings, incredible paintings, and the stunning details everywhere you look. The scale and artistry are breathtaking — pictures just don’t do it justice. A truly awe-inspiring place to visit!

Saint Peter’s Basilica is an absolute must-visit in Rome and one of the most magnificent landmarks in the world. As one of the four Holy Doors during the Jubilee year, it holds deep spiritual significance. The architecture is breathtaking, and every corner is filled with masterpieces — from Michelangelo’s Pietà to the grand dome offering stunning views. The interior is both majestic and peaceful, a true testament to centuries of devotion and artistry. Whether you come for faith, history, or beauty, this basilica leaves an unforgettable impression. Truly one of the greatest treasures of Vatican City and all of Rome.

#1 photo spot overlooking the full city of Rome. Not much space compared to others, but the view has more of the city’s postcard composition in it.

When I was in Rome I stopped by here while on a run. I got beautiful fall views of the city. I think it’s a great hidden gem!

Best for a sunset view of the city besides maybe Palatine Hill and Castel Sant Angelo. You may see less than at Juniculum Hill, but it feels like you are closer to the city yet still high up

Amazing place to see the panorama of Rome from Trastevere. You can even rest for a while on a bench.

Amazing view on Vatican city

Ultimately the best view of the Rome ancient city!

Very good panoramic view of Rome under the shade of some trees.

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.

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.

Very nice overlook of Rome. Trees have grown to inhibit views from some areas. Many people enjoying the evening.

Well worth the hike and to watch the cannon fire. Loos are also €1 but they are very clean and well stocked. Very nice.

Perfect place to watch both sunrise and sunset. It does get quite busy for sunset but since it’s a large overlook there are plenty of places you can see the Sun from. My friend mentioned that the trees are a bit in the way but we were a 15 minute walk from the hill so it was the perfect location for me. Barely anyone was there for sunrise so it was a very peaceful moment for me and my friend. I recommend getting there at least 30 minutes early if you want to see all of the different sky changes. If you’re ever there for Festa della Repubblica you can also see the jets fly over with the flag colors from the hill.

Great hike to see a nice sunset and view of Rome! Highly recommend visiting this place for its views and history.

Worth the walk up there. Great views and good vibes. Grab some wine at the vendor and enjoy the view while walking around.

This park is am amazing Hidden gem in the edges of Rome, its a short, convenient ride on the metro line A, this park has incredible history, being home to the ruins of the Claudian aqueducts (aqua Claudia that were built in the 1st century CE under the rule of the emperor Calligula (Giaus Julius Caesar Germanicus) to carry water from the Apennine mountains straight to the heart of Rome. this park also has an amazing network of paths and trails weaving in and out of the aqueducts. and if you're feeling peckish there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area for you to choose from. Atmosphere: 5/5 Walkways: 5/5 History: 5/5 Facilities: 4/5 Overall: 5/5

Such a beautiful park!!! It was hard to get to from our Airbnb (bus and metro) which is probably why there weren’t many tourists here but it was so worth it. It has the most stunning views. It felt like another world. We came here for sunset and it was a highlight of my Rome trip.

We came here with the Metro orange line, getting off at Guilin Agricola according to google maps, and we left from Lucio Sestio station. On the way in, there is a small children’s playground but it is so helpful for us with our 5 years old son. The facility is well maintained. After the playground, we entered the fields through the small aqueduct. Then we reached a little stream. It was very beautiful with the willow trees and different plans. Once we crossed the stream we kept right to the biggest aqueduct. We climbed up to an old fort (maybe) to have our picnic there. From there, you can see the trains running past. It was a fun place for younger children. Locals use the well built paths to do running. Overall, if you are a bit tired of the crowds in the city, this is a great place to get some fresh air and enjoy the sun. Pack up your lunch and enjoy!

Really great and quiet park. We did go on a Monday morning at 8am so not sure if it becomes busy during the day; but at our time it was perfect, just local people walking their dogs :) It's fascinating to think that this was built to long ago with that amount of precision.

Scenic park with ruins of various Roman aqueducts. Easy to get to via metro plus some walking. Beautiful park. There's also an old road that pre-dates Roman times, "via Latina antica"

…a little quiet with sonics of trains swirling afar. It’s got a vibe not seen in the tourist center of Roma. I visited the park at the sunset, and many things in the park feel surreal, as if touched by a primordial feeling..

One of the best things I've seen to date. These are real ruins without the crowd making it actually fun and it allows you to really take in history.

If you'll be there around 12 pm be ready for the cannon shoot

Nice but needs attention, what are the Roman taxes spent on, if not keeping beautiful places like this in order to

(Translated by Google) The Gianicolo, even if it is not one of the 7 hills of Rome, nevertheless remains an unmissable place in Rome because it offers a superb view of Rome and its monuments. It’s best to go in the middle of the day or at sunset to get really nice light for photos. The gardens are lined with statues with iconic faces of some of Rome's names. (Original) Le Gianicolo, même s'il ne fait pas partie des 7 collines de Rome reste néanmoins un lieu incontournable de Rome car il offre une vue superbe sur Rome et ses monuments. Il est préférable d’y aller en milieu de journée ou au coucher du soleil pour avoir une lumière vraiment jolie pour les photos. Les jardins sont bordés de statues avec des visages emblématiques de certains noms de Rome.

(Translated by Google) Stunning view of Rome. If you arrive a little before midday you can witness the cannon being fired which warns the Romans to throw away the pasta. (Original) Splendida vista su Roma. Se arrivate un po' prima di mezzogiorno potete assistere allo sparo del cannone che avvisa i romani di buttare la pasta.

I don’t know why other reviewers say to come watch the sunset here, as you can’t actually see the sun

(Translated by Google) Historic hill with a beautiful view of Rome, but it deserves a little more cleaning. (Original) Storico colle con bella vista su Roma ma meriterebbe un po piu' di pulizia....

Was a great site to see while on tour around the Eternal City. They recently cleaned the facade of the building so the stone is now clean and bright. Its usually very crowded for most of the day unless you come early in the morning. The guides were very nice and gave us a lot of cool information about the history of the Colosseum. Definitely a great place to see at least once while visiting Rome.

This was cool. As a tourist from outside Italy this was a cool thing to do. We did a tour and our tour guide was excellent, highly recommend. Our tour guide was called Valerio and he knew so much history, for any question you had he had an answer to. Highly recommend doing a tour. This was a neat part of history to see in Italy and very cool to see it in person.

This is one of the nicest places in The world. Colosseum is indeed one of list of destinations that you simply can’t missed when you are in Rome. It was one in a lifetime worth experience for me. Our tour guide (Bogdan) was fantastic. He was very informative; felt we got a lot of additional information that you wouldn't get without a good guide. He clearly has a personal interest in learning about the history of Rome, which he shared with us. He was a lot of fun and made the experience personal and throughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you .

Been seeing photos and videos of this breathtaking piece of history my whole life, now was the time to see it in person. Don’t forget to go and visit it in both daylight and night cause it’s amazing in both. The light decoration is something that is spectacular in Rome in general, so don’t miss out!

We had a guided tour which meant we got in really quickly with no wait time. We visited 10th Nov 2025 and whilst the crowds were still quite busy, we did not get stuck in any queues. A really good experience with plenty to see and learn. Highly recommended.

Visited Colosseum with the attic ticket and climbed to the highest view point in colosseum. Absolutely stunning views and experience looking down the whole colosseum. You will be in awe of the size of it, and just imagine how it was like , 2000 years ago. Attic ticket was very exclusive as there are very few slots and tickets kept being bought immediately after a particular time slot opened up on the official site. Suggest to monitor regularly for it. Wait was minimal as the line was short and moved quickly.

Verdict: great experience! You should go! We went for a night tour of the colosseum, which I had booked in advance through AirBnB or Aviator. It was kind of difficult to find the entry point as there was some construction, but eventually we (the guests) found each other and found the way in. So if it happens to you, stay calm and find your people ☺️ It was great to hear the history of the colosseum and see how much truth there is in the movies we had seen. The kids enjoyed the visit, the mystery that the nighttime brought, and they also enjoyed seeing it the next day in the daytime. The colosseum is right next to other historical sites, the Roman Forum (for which you need a ticket to enter),good food, and fresh water (a really cool thing about Rome’s history that is tangible and useful today)

The Pantheon is an absolutely breathtaking sight from the outside. Its massive, ancient columns and the grand inscription are incredibly impressive, and it's amazing to stand in front of a structure with so much history. We unfortunately didn't get to go inside because the line was very long, wrapping around the piazza. It was a bit disappointing, but even just seeing the exterior and feeling the energy of the square was worth the visit. We'd definitely recommend seeing it, but maybe aim for an off-peak time if you want to avoid the wait and actually get inside! It's still a magnificent landmark to experience.

We didn’t go inside because the line was very long, but even just standing in front of the Pantheon was incredible. The building is so well-preserved and truly breathtaking — it instantly captures your attention. You can really feel the history and grandeur just by looking at it from the outside. A must-see in Rome!

An interesting experience. The structure and its interior are impressive. We bought the tickets as an add-on to our reservation through Booking.com. The place looks beautiful both at night and during the day. I recommend it.

An awe-inspiring masterpiece that truly lives up to its reputation. Even with the summer crowds and a rather long queue, the wait was well worth it. The moment you step inside, the cool air, gentle light from the oculus, and perfect harmony of architecture take your breath away. Every detail tells a story of centuries past, yet the space feels timeless and alive. A must-see in Rome — both humbling and unforgettable.

Incredible historic monument. The dome is completely made of concrete! There’s a hole in the top of the dome which allows rain to come into the Pantheon! When you’re inside the dome, it feels like you are standing inside of an eye, looking through the iris, or the top of the dome. This is the resting place of the incredible artist Ascended Master Raphael! His tomb is here, and you can visit him there. This Pantheon has been made to be a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, praising our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A must visit when in Rome. An architectural masterpiece. Being incredibly well maintained, One is able to see the Pantheon as the Roman’s would have seen it in their time. Pictures don’t do it justice. I would recommend getting their early morning 9am so you beat the crowds. The audio guide (most languages) is available once you are inside. At 10 euro it is fantastic value as it gives a great understanding of all things about the Pantheon. Entry is quite cheap too, you can cover it all in an hour!

The Pantheon is an absolute masterpiece,breathtaking in every sense. The moment you step inside and look up at that majestic dome with the open oculus, you’re left in pure awe. It’s incredible to think that this structure has stood strong for nearly 2,000 years! The harmony of light, space, and symmetry is simply magical. Whether you love history, architecture, or just beauty itself — the Pantheon is a must-visit. Truly one of the most inspiring places on Earth.

It's a plaza surrounded by ancient ruins of official government buildings. It was the main marketplace. It's definitely worth visiting if you are seeing colosseum. I came to know about it when we booked our colosseum tour as a package. It's a fascinating place with full of history, but lacks maps and information board. Do allow few hours to walk as it's a massive place plus some places it's bit hilly. Near the exit there is a cafe which is a bonus point.

Huge Place, where you can imagine how people lived 2000 years ago, how buildings were huge and how incredible was architecture in that times. Beautiful place with full of history. In the past area was split and dedicated to more Ceasars, like Nervo, Augustus, etc . You have to see it , it's great place to get history into mind :) Tickets you can buy together with colloseum.

Formerly the center of public life in ancient Rome. I went here as part of my coliseum tour. Not as much grandeur of the coliseum, of course, but it was fascinating to walk through the old heart of the Eternal City, not to mention the ruins of Octavian/Augustus' palace.

Amazing to see. Could easily spend all day there. We entered by "Via dei Fori Imperiali" which was a lot quieter than the entrance by the colosseum. Toilets dotted around and we found 1 cafe by our entrance. Really worth seeing.

What a place! We bought the combined ticket with the Colosseo entrance. Visited the Colosseo at 9 am and by 10:15 we were at the Forum, thankfully, because when we left at around 1pm, the line was so big that it went around the other street. The place is huge and you can easily get "lost"or not see some interesting parts. Tip: download some map so that you can undertand where you are at the moment. Very impressive and i left with my heart full!

This was the most amazing experience - we went with a tour guide so didn’t have to wait to get in, the queue was pretty long so would recommend - I would also recommend a tour so you actually get to know what is what - our guide was very Informative, but didn’t go on and on and make it boring - it was absolutely fascinating to learn the history and see what it used to be like from pictures she showed us and what is still present today. Such a great time - would love to return and spend more time here as we only had about 1hr in here - you could easily spend 1/2 -1 day here depending on the level of your interest - highly recommend!

This was so neat to see... Very large space, with ruins everywhere. There was pretty decent signage for each of the sites. Not too crowded when we visited, in the late afternoon after seeing the colosseum.

I visited the Spanish Steps and really enjoyed exploring the area around them. The atmosphere was lively and full of energy, with people sitting on the steps, taking photos, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The view from the top is amazing, and the nearby streets are filled with elegant shops, cafés, and historical buildings. It’s one of those iconic spots in Rome where you can just sit, relax, and take in the charm of the city. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited the Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna, and it's every bit as iconic as you'd imagine. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, though it was a little crowded when we were there, which is to be expected at such a famous spot. The view from the top of the steps, looking down over the piazza and the rooftops of Rome, is absolutely stunning. At the bottom, the Fontana della Barcaccia is a beautiful and unique centerpiece. It was lovely to see people gathered around the "sinking boat" sculpture to take photos. Despite the crowds, it's one of those essential Roman experiences. Finding a spot on the steps to sit and take in the scene is a moment you won't forget. Just be prepared to share it with plenty of other admirers.

We visited the Spanish Steps at night, and it was very nice. The area was calm and not very crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The steps were beautifully lit, creating a peaceful and romantic atmosphere far from the busy daytime scenes. It was the perfect time to take a quiet stroll, sit for a while, and admire the stunning architecture of the Trinità dei Monti church above and the charming Piazza di Spagna below. The view of the city lights in the distance added to the charm. I quickly realized how out of shape I was however. This is quite the climb. Everything was amazing however I ranked at a four because realistically its steps, there are a lot of amazing attractions and incredible architecture throughout the city. If you're in Rome, I do highly recommend visiting the Spanish Steps after dark—you get to enjoy one of the city's most iconic spots in a much more relaxed and intimate setting.

Magnificent piece of architecture. It has a great view from behind the pond. Try to go early in the day (before 7am) and you will find perfect views for pictures and to appreciate the beauty. Tourists necessarily sitting on the stairs just spoil the view. Dear tourists, once you have seen the view, please step aside and let others view and enjoy as well. On any time it is crowded but still manageable.

Popular location full of tourists. Lovely buildings surrounding the piazza, monument and the fountain at the bottom of the stairs. We were there during the day but I guess it would be even more spectacular at night. Especially the fountain. For best photos I think you should try shooting from bottom, behind the fountain ⛲️ From the top you can catch a good photo of that narrow street with lovely buildings on both sides.

Spanish Steps in Rome: Beautiful landmark and definitely worth visiting. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially around sunset. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy the view of the city. The surrounding area is full of good cafés, shops, and gelato spots. A must-see when in Rome.

Very nice area of Rome, but even in November thousands and thousands of tourist minute by minute . Architecture of area is incredible nice , unforgettable moments. One of the place you have to see , if you are in Rome , but my advice is go early and near to the place is Fontana di Trevi so as earlier you go the better.

We really enjoyed our time at Villa Borghese. We didn't go to the gallery or the lake, and we still had a great time just walking around. The best part was the park itself. It's full of amazing trees that are tall, old, and really beautiful. They give lots of nice shade, which makes it perfect for a relaxing walk, even on a warm day. The paths are wide and easy to follow, leading you through green lawns and pretty gardens. It's a quiet and calm place to take a break from the busy city. We just found a bench, sat down, and enjoyed the peaceful feeling. If you want a simple, nice escape in Rome, we definitely recommend coming here for a stroll.

We traveled to here twice from outside Rome. From Termini you can take bus bit can be crowded and also you can walk if you have time and ability. We explores the playground area both times. Playground is not large but has fun equipment and you can picnic on the grounds. Chairs for adults all around and large climbing structures with a slide. Playground outdoors is free to use. It is accessible with a stroller and next to the playground there is a cafe with accessible toilets which covers snacks and bathroom needs for little kids. Next to the playground you can do pony rides which cost seven euros cash. Then game machines and car course, you need to buy special coins with cash or card to play the machines. We also tried the mini movie theater with both kids. It was a long show but kids loves it. They had a snack booth for packages popcorn , candy and drinks. There is a fun train that rides around the park and also to the zoo. Then if you walk around the park you can find icecream or snack stands sparsely put. They rent out carriage bikes so you have to be careful when walking because people can go fast or avoid driving paths. Nature is lovely. If you need cash bring beforehand because ai had to walk out for 20 min or more outside to finally find an ATM available on a Sunday. A lot more to explore and nearby there is the Explora museum for kids.

Unexpected hidden gem on my Rome trip! Needed to kill a few hours and certainly did! You could spend hours exploring here. It's beautiful and vast and there's fun activities all around that you can choose to do!

Brief Summary and Disappointment from a Visit to Villa Borghese, Rome ​Villa Borghese is the largest and most famous public park in Rome, known as the city's "green lung" and the gateway to a beautiful garden (which contains the Borghese Gallery). ​Main Sources of Enjoyment: ​An Escape from the Hustle: The park is an excellent place to relax and escape the crowds and noise of the city center. ​Key Landmarks: The park contains the Terrazza del Pincio with its perfect view, the picturesque Temple of Aesculapius on the lake, various fountains, and opportunities to rent bikes or rowboats. ​The Common Disappointment (and Explanation): Disappointment often stems from the fact that: ​The Park Itself is Simple: Unlike many highly formal Italian gardens, most of Villa Borghese is designed as a large English-style park and does not feature manicured or "secret" elaborate landscaping around every corner. It is perceived by some visitors as "just a large park," which can feel too "prosaic." ​The Gallery is the Main Event: The true and monumental attraction in the area is the Borghese Gallery (Galleria Borghese), which requires booking tickets far in advance (sometimes months ahead!) and limits the visit to two hours. Visitors who failed to book a ticket in advance find themselves excluded from the main attraction and are left only with wandering the exterior park. ​In Conclusion: Villa Borghese offers a welcome break from the city. To avoid disappointment, you must book tickets for the Borghese Gallery well in advance. Without the Gallery, the park remains pleasant, tranquil, and photogenic, but it is not an extraordinary "must-see" destination on its own.

We happened on this and missed it. Looks like a beautiful gallery. Tickets were booking at least 2 weeks out. The gardens and park in front of it were lovely to walk through. On weekends there seemed to be lots of activities for families in the park. Can rent bikes etc there also.

Amazing park!! Entered through the popola piazza. We rented a motor-bicycle, since they had a drivers experience minimum to rent a golf kart. Went through the park with ease. Not very crowded when I visited (August, mid-morning). You can't access all areas with the Kart, and some areas were closed off but not shown in maps.

Very beautiful and big park for walking, relaxing, and many other options! Free entrance but we rent car with pedals to move and small boat to go around the lake! Nice experience,I suggest it!

Nothing much here except for some historical architectures. Drop by here for a quick stop and snap the photo you want. Thereafter, move on to the farmers market where lots of rare brands and local foodstuffs are on sale.

Not much to see here, just at few remains at one end, but when you walk along the bottom from one end to the other, it gives you a sense of just how big the chariot races actually were. The arena used to hold an astonishing 250,000 spectators who were all drinking and betting on the outcome of the chariot races, essentially gambling on the fate of someone's life. Maybe the Roman government should consider rebuilding it with a modern twist.

The Circus Maximus in Rome is a truly magical place. Standing there today, it’s fascinating to imagine how it must have looked 2,000 years ago — the thunder of hooves, the speed of chariots, and the roar of the crowd. From Augustus’ palace on the Palatine Hill, Rome’s nobility once enjoyed a spectacular view of these thrilling races. I highly recommend visiting this historic site!

This was another event that a private tour would have been helpful. From what I could see at a distance, it looked quite historical and interesting. It was totally overcrowded although there was plenty of land to roam. It was quite a long walk with hilly terrain.

A walk through history! 🏛️🚶‍♂️ Circus Maximus may look like just a big grassy field at first, but once you realize what happened here centuries ago — epic chariot races, roaring crowds, and Roman spectacle — it really comes to life! 🐎🔥 Great spot for a peaceful walk, picnic, or just imagining ancient glory. 🌞 Would be even better with more interactive displays or AR guides. Still, a must-see in Rome! 🇮🇹✨

Circus Maximus: It’s incredible to walk around this huge open field and imagine the chariot races that once took place here. There isn’t much left to see structurally, but the history is all around you, and the view from the top of the hill is worth the stop.

Biggest Stadion ever build 🙄🤝 620 meters long 🤟🏼✌️😍 Unimaginable crowd screaming! Even 4 this time looks unbelievable 😎🥳

Lots of walking to get up to top. We were lucky to have had good weather. Didn't spend long there though and not a busy area

Right next to the Altare Della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) is the Capitoline Hill. Outside, you’ll see a bronze statue of Marcus Aerelius. The Capitoline Hill is one of the seven hills of Rome. It’s worth climbing to the top of the hill via Michelangelo’s steps and admiring the Roman Forum for free.

One of the magnificent squares in Rome. I definitely think you should go on the road and take a tour of the square. However, for those who will stay in Rome for 2-3 nights, it would be better to be careful to spend more time. Since it is close to the Colosseum, it would be logical to stop by on the road after visiting there.

Impressive! Enjoyed all the rich history of Rome! The museum here was as good as any we visited during our entire stay. Their restaurant inside was good as well.

It's a short walk up the sloping stairs of the Capitoline Hills to reach the square designed by Michelangelo. Has the Capitoline museums, the Aurelius statue, Rome city hall and a view over the ruins like arch of Septimius, Basilica of Julia etc

Right next to the Altare Della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland), is the Capitoline Hill. Outside you will see the bronze statue of Marcus Aerelius (somewhat waving how great he is or how gracious and loving he is to his people).

Unfortunately when we visited it had scaffolding all over it so it was difficult to see any of the structure

Loved walking through the Aventine Hill area. Several interesting things to see, and without the hustle and bustle of some of other of rooms highlights. Recommend walking through this area.

A tranquil and affluent residential hill offering some of Rome's most surprising views. The famous Keyhole of the Priory of the Knights of Malta provides a perfectly framed view of St. Peter's dome, while the Orange Garden offers a sweeping sunset panorama.

Must see location in Rome. Not overrun with tourists apart from that keyhole thing. Lovely orange grove with sweeping city views, quaint basilica with friendly priest who wished me a bona sera.

This was a beautiful spot to wonder around with great views over the city. There was also the added bonus of the Aventine Keyhole. There was a line of people wanting to take their picture but it wasn't too long (but ensure your camera is ready to go when its your turn so you don't keep everyone else waiting behind you for too long).

I recommend it if you are going to be in the area and want to get a view of Rome from above. If you have limited time, or are concerned about the walking, then Castel Sant' Angelo is a much better option. I feel the view of the Vatican is better from there, and you can see Rome as well.

Also where you can see St Peter's dome through a keyhole, but having already seen it did not stop this time because of the bus loads of tourists waiting in line. It's one of the original 7 hills of Rome and well worth a visit

When in Rome do not miss to go on the Aventine Hill! You will be enchanted by the amazing panoramic views and the beautiful parks located there. The Aventine Hill is one of the seven hills on which Ancient Rome was built. We all know that St Peter's Dome is visible almost from everywhere due to its big dimension, here you also have the chance to look at the famous Dome directly from a Key Hole. Looking through the hole, you will be able to see the Cupola surrounded by trees and flowers too. How is it possible? Well, the Key Hole is in the door of thr 'secret garden': the gardens of the Priorato di Malta. Overall, its a good place where you find silence and enjoy the one of the views of Rome away from the noise of the city center.

Nice historic and centric place specifically in the day. However some dirt, too many people and in the night not that safe I guess. But its history is amazing... Some arqueological remainings like Neros temple Domum aurea, Tiberius baths, close to the Colosseum and Foro Romanum. If you have time its nice to have a walk because its also on a hill where you cam enjoy a green view towards the Colosseo. But you can also just use it to walk to Roma Termini and see some history with different layers from Antiquity till Modernity.

As we walk to the Colosseum from our hotel, navigation took us to this park. Sometimes unexpected route lead you to beautiful journey . We were blown away by the trees, ruins and beauty of this park. Someone was playing music and locals resting and taking a nap. Children were playing. It was one of the fond memories of Rome. It leads to the Colosseum which has great view!

A fantastic green oasis offering stunning views and rich history! 🇮🇹🌳 Situated directly across from the Colosseum, this expansive park provides breathtaking panoramic vistas of the amphitheatre and Palatine Hill – truly unbeatable photo opportunities! 📸🏛️ It’s also home to significant archaeological ruins, including large sections of the Baths of Trajan and an entrance to the Domus Aurea. Despite its historical depth, it's a popular spot for locals to relax, stroll, or for kids to play. A perfect blend of nature, ancient wonders, and urban tranquility. 💖🌟 Absolutely essential for any Rome visit! ✨

Very dirty and full of litter, smells like urine and is full of homeless people. Not safe during when it gets dark. Beautiful views of the Colosseum, so much lost pitential.

Not the best park in the world but surely the best way towards the Colosseum. The trees are great and the ruins are just as old. It may be a little dusty, but it's a city park, so nothing unexpected there. Personally I had just as much fun exploring it as I had for the Colosseum itself.

Great view over the Colloseum. Nice place to exit the crowds!

The park’s facilities are great, skatepark, basket ball, volleyball, soccer, calesthenics which bring a lot of people together and it is all free. However, the caretakers need to do a better job at telling people to throw their rubbish in the bins. If you go early in the morning when the cleaners have not arrived yet, the volleyball court and skatepark are full of rubbish. Also the calesthenics equipments has been broken for months. There are loads of bins on in the park and they are emptied every day.

Good walk up from the city centre but it's well worth it. The views from the top are spectacular. You have a wide viewing area that is safely separated from the traffic. Some good options for snacks, coffee ☕️, souvenirs, etc. The monument itself is grand and it's worth walking around it, depending on light during the day, for your best shot. On the side of the monument is a small garden with plenty of benches to relax on. A lot of parking slots although most of them were already occupied. The tree lined street going down is a good shot to take too.

In 1883, one year after his death at Caprera on 2 June 1882, Parliament decided to dedicate a monument to him to celebrate his libertarian impetus and courageous battles. On 14 November, therefore, a contest was announced that would lead to the choice of a project for a sculptural work consisting of a majestic plinth crowned by a bronze statue of Garibaldi portrayed standing or on horseback to be placed in the garden of San Pietro in Montorio. Among the 37 sketches exhibited in the newly inaugurated Palazzo delle Esposizioni, the judging commission, made up of Monteverde, Boito, Rosa and Morelli, some members of Parliament, and the then Prime Minister, Agostino Depretis, won that of Emilio Gallori. The only request made to the artist was to make the sculptures that would have delimited the four sides of the monument more lively and dynamic, as they were considered too static and cold. In 1885, Gallori presented the new project and the proposal to place the monument on the top of Trastevere's hill, the summit of the new promenade and the most suitable place to host the simulacrum of the Italian leader and patriot's mighty personality. The site was granted on 15 May 1892 and the foundation stone was laid on 19 March 1895 in the presence of the royal family.The monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi was unveiled with great pomp on 20 September 1895, on the occasion of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Rome, in the presence of Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia, the Prime Minister, Francesco Crispi, the Mayor of the Italian Capital, Emanuele Ruspoli, as well as some Garibaldi veterans and about 60,000 people.A bronze and granite tribute to greatness Serene, riding his horse, the Hero of Two Worlds wears the iconic Magyar cap and the American poncho adopted in the Montevideo wars, and stands on a large Baveno granite pedestal on the base of which are carved the She-wolf of Rome, the Lion of Caprera and a frieze with weapons in use in ancient Rome, as well as four bas-reliefs – the Landing at Marsala, the Resistance at Boiada, the Defence of Rome in 1849 and Liberty – surmounted by four bronze sculptural groups depicting on the long sides, the allegories of Europe (with History and Genius) and America (with Industry and Trade); on the short sides, Luciano Manara's bersaglieri defending Rome in the Battle of 1849 and the 1860 Calatafimi fighters. On the left side of the pedestal is the famous phrase ROMA O MORTE (Rome or Death), uttered by Garibaldi during his speech at the gathering of the Red Shirts in Marsala on 19 July 1862.

Beautiful Plaza. Gorgeous monument to Garibaldi. At the sunset many people goes there to hang around and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the Town.

Great view on Rome. Especially at night. Very good place to walk around. Plenty of paking.

After sunset, I visited the Garibaldi monument. The city view was breathtaking

The Giuseppe Garibaldi Monument is absolutely worth a visit! Perched high on the Janiculum Hill, it offers incredible panoramic views over Rome — you can see the domes, rooftops, and even St. Peter’s in the distance. The statue itself is impressive and a fitting tribute to Garibaldi, surrounded by history and atmosphere. I visited on a very hot day, so the climb up felt challenging, but the shady spots nearby and the rewarding view made it all worthwhile. If you go in summer, I’d recommend bringing water and taking your time. A beautiful, peaceful spot to reflect and take in the city.

Very nice monument of Giuseppe Garibaldi and the men that helped him unify Italy. It’s in the middle of the a nice roundabout on a hill, it’s very nice to check out day or night. It’s a nice place to go for a walk and sit down and relax. I enjoyed my time spent here and would definitely recommend checking it out.

I was lucky enough to be in Rome the day Bonci reopened, and I’d heard so much about it from foodie friends that I was really excited to finally try it. The pizza was good, with unique flavor combinations, though not quite the mind-blowing experience I was expecting. The meatball slice I ordered was actually served cold as it wasn’t warmed up enough, but the flavors still came through nicely. Overall, while it didn’t completely wow me, I’d still recommend a visit—especially given how highly it’s regarded by friends I trust as serious pizza lovers. Flavor

Not the typical Pizza. Located 1km walk North of Vatican. Local Rome neighborhood. Roman Pizza is different from NY or Napoli Pizza types. This Roman style ( Bonci), looks small but it's actually very thick and weighs much. I noticed that the top part is hardly heated, melted or charred at all ! You taste the ingredients that you ordered. The crust bottom skin (around 2mm) has a crispy thin bottom shell, ( photo) then normal pizza dough from middle to top. I estimate around total 10 mm thickness pizza dough bread. I could taste the high quality of the ingredients, tomato, cheese, ham , etc It's different, the first bites, then as you eat it, you appreciate the difference, you taste the high quality of the toppings. Then it becomes also very delicious !

Overall good place to try if you wanna try different types of pizzas and not your typical crust - in a good way! Service takes a bit of time due to the way they operate and there’s very little seating so make sure you plan to takeaway if you want to sit to eat. The vibe is hip and fun and the servers were kind.

This place was very hyped up for being the best pizza in Rome. Safe to say, it was very far from it. The queue ahead of us took over an hour, so we just went to get a coffee and came back. The pizza did look good, but unfortunately it lacked a bit of flavour and was not warm. The arancini was actually pretty solid, but overall not quite worth the wait. Prices are slightly steeper, but the total was 30 which was too much for 2, basically 15 a person which is very fair. Theres super limited seating, very overcrowded and loud. They do play some good music which was appreciated. Theres not much to do in the area around either. Would not recommend to trek for.

We ordered Supplì Classico and Carbonara — both were amazing! After that, we tried two different pizzas, and they were really tasty too. We also had two beers with the meal, and the total was 35.58 euros.

It’s a style of pizza unique to the area and one I’m not accustomed to, so I may not be best suited to rate it. But, in general, it seemed pricey and overhyped for what it was. I thought the suppli was good and the service excellent, but the pizza is not something I’d go back for.

I absolutely didn’t like this place. For the first time in Italy, I left my food unfinished because it was so bad. The service was unpleasant, and the staff were rude. There weren’t even any labels showing what kind of pizza it was. I strongly do not recommend this place. And it’s really expensive- one slice of pizza approximately 10 euros. And as well there is no place to sit so we had to eat outside standing. Huge disappointment.

Came here for my girlfriend's birthday after a day at the Vatican. Booked on advance and was treated to such an amazing meal, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was beautiful, a more limited menu but each option was delicious, with the service in between unbeatable. They made the evening so special and I can only thank them for the quality of the entire experience. Definitely one to visit again next time I'm in Rome

FULL of food tour groups touting "the best of Rome." Part of a new generation of trendy spots that may not actually be Italian. Host generously gifted a glass of prosecco when we couldn't be sat for our reservation due to large food tour groups doing tagliere tastings. The good: cut, chew and cook of guanciale on the carbonara Is perfect. Barolo by the glass (€15) is tasty, and the small wine list well curated. Service is a bit inattentive, though very hospitable once they have a moment for you. Zucchini "pie/tart" was actually crustless, a sformatino, delicious with Parmesan cream and pickled red onion, the paprika accent completely lost. Ricotta and porcini ravioli (€23 for five) with saffron cream had almost no taste of mushroom, came out nearly cold, and the small amount of saffron cream a bit too dry and tacky, not warm and flowing, but it was a pretty yellow color. Tagliatelle on the carbonara was overcooked, and the sauce mostly forgettable. Torta Caprese with canned whipped light cream was spot on in chocolate/almond flavor, but very dry and crumbly. The pistachio cream was a miniscule afterthought, not even a garnish. We were generously gifted a tasting of (not a Roman thing) limoncello to finish, a charming touch. Drafty room near the front sliding door on a chilly night, unkempt bathrooms, power repeatedly went out. Lots of energy and hip feeling, but certainly not a "secret." No reason to seek this place out until they figure out what really makes a place special and do away with the multiple simultaneous (at one point over 2/3 of the entire restaurant) tasting-only in-and-out food tour groups. You can do much better and more Italian/less touristy in Rome for less money with more attentive service. Still these are very friendly and charming staff, when you can get their attention. €95 for 2 people sharing 1 app, 2 pastas, 1 dolce, and three glasses of wine.

We came because of the good review and the overall experience was lovely! Sid was really friendly and gave us welcome drinks, regularly checked on us and was so attentive. Top notch service from him! We didn’t wait too long for the food, which were delicious (especially the tiramisu), and we also liked the ambience of the restaurant.

We had the best experience here after visiting the Vatican, and a huge part of that was thanks to Sid. He’s one of those servers you remember long after the meal. Funny, genuinely personable, and full of energy in a way that makes the whole place feel even more alive. He didn’t just take our order—he guided us through the menu like a friend who really wants you to try the good stuff. And the food? unreal. Fresh, full of flavor, and easily some of the best we’ve had in Rome. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after the Vatican—just a few steps away, no stress, and you instantly feel taken care of. If you come here (and you should), ask for Sid. We left smiling, happy, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend.

After a long day exploring the Colosseum and other attractions, my best friend and I were quite exhausted. Since we were also celebrating a birthday, we wanted to find a special place for dinner. After a bit of searching, we decided on Il Segreto — the restaurant looked stunning online, and the menu promised many intriguing dishes. Plus, it was conveniently close to where we were staying. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and offered a glass of prosecco. Shortly after ordering our wine, we were surprised with a complimentary dish from the chef — a true work of art on a plate. The presentation was beautiful, but what impressed me most was how harmoniously all the flavors came together. And that was just the beginning. For our starter, we ordered bruschetta — and honestly, I’ve never had one so delicious. The mozzarella and tomatoes were of outstanding quality. Then came the highlight of the evening and the reason we had chosen this place — the grilled octopus. I must say, I’ve never eaten octopus that tasted this good! Everything on the plate worked perfectly together — the texture, the balance, the flavors — simply exceptional. But what truly makes this restaurant stand out is the team behind it. They work like a perfectly tuned machine — friendly, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable about both food and wine. Their passion and professionalism made the evening truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend Il Segreto to anyone who appreciates fine cuisine and excellent service. It was a dining experience to remember — pure culinary pleasure.

We have a really great experience here! We indeed came here because it has great reviews on Google and it turns out really good! We didn’t wait for a table, and Sid really went above and beyond in his service. The food are great, we got a few welcome drinks, and the tiramisu is to die for. I will definitely recommend this place!

This restaurant was the most lovely, unexpected treat! We came here because we missed our reservation elsewhere, and it was such a happy mistake that we ended up at this brilliant restaurant. The service was so warm and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate. We had the calamari fritti and bruschetta to start which were both delicious - the calamari was tender and lightly crisp and the stracciatella on the bruschetta was unique and so indulgent. For mains we both had the bucatini alla amatriciana - one of the 4 famous Roman pastas you have to try when you're in Rome. This was a perfect example of an amatriciana and must be tried! We had my favourite Roman vegetable side dish with our pasta - chicoria. This is a bitter dark green leafy green sauteed in lots of olive oil with anchovies. Absolutely delicious. Sadly we didn't have room for dessert but the tiramisu looked delicious! We did enjoy a beautiful glass of expensive but gorgeous quality barolo - a must-try Italian grape.

This is a fantastic spot to visit, both during the day and in the evening. The sunset view over the Vatican is truly unforgettable. Additionally, it serves as one of the key thoroughfares connecting the Vatican area with the city center. I highly recommend it for a stroll at any time of day or night.

Ponte Umberto I offers one of the most beautiful views in Rome. From the bridge, I could see the Tiber River flowing calmly with Castel Sant’Angelo perfectly framed in the distance. It’s a peaceful spot to pause, take photos, and enjoy the city’s charm. Simple, scenic, and definitely worth a quick stop.

It is a place where you can get an upgraded night view of St. Peter's Basilica. Many photographers and people take pictures here.🌉🎇🌌🌃🎆

The bridge with the view..... WOW Get this one on the list guys.

A beautiful point in the Rome capital where you can view the Castel Angelo perfectly from the river and from the bridge. A lovely site seeing spot to see the river and its many buildings along the walkway.

The Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome is an architectural marvel that connects the city to the majestic Castel Sant'Angelo. This bridge, formerly known as the Pons Aelius, is adorned with beautifully sculpted angel statues, creating a magical atmosphere for visitors. It also offers breathtaking views of the Tiber River and serves as an ideal spot for a romantic stroll in the heart of the Eternal City. A must-visit in Rome for history and art lovers alike.

This bridge offers you a postcard perfect view of the river Tiber with the dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica in the background. Perfect time of the day to come here is either sunrise or sunset.

You can watch a really nice sunset from here and see the city turn from pink to purple to blue as the sun goes down. The park could use some trash clean up and additional benches.

Amazing view

The view from the hill is disappointing, overshadowed by the prevalent litter. The absence of a proper sidewalk makes access challenging. Overall, it’s not worth the effort for such an underwhelming experience.

Wonderful view.

More green cities

Wonderfull place 😊

Amazing place. ! Great food amazing history and of course Italian people!!!

The location is really close to downtown (everything is as around 5 to 15min walk) and the host were really nice and helpful. Breakfast is near the hotel and they proposing a good menu. Love the hotel, very clean, calm and comfy! And the cherry on the top, the beautiful rooftop. I highly recommend this place, you won’t regret it :)

I loved this place! No, it's not what some would consider a 5 star hotel but to me it was. I like quaint hotels and this one had a good location too. Old home turned into a hotel. They preserved the frescos! Everyone was friendly and helpful. They helped arrange transportation from the cruise port to the hotel and then to the airport at the end of our stay. We stayed in the Tango room. It was clean and had plenty of room for us 3 adults. Keep in mind this is an old building, plumbing is a bit on the loud side and doors don't work the way new ones do. If you want a place new and contemporary, this is not it. If you want a place full of charm, this is it. Oh and did I mention the view?!

Loved our stay! We initially debated between this property and another one near Roma Termini but decided to stay at Residenza instead. So happy we did!! The building retains its charm but with all modern amenities. The host was very responsive to all our needs and inquiries. The breakfast was delicious. Pastries were fresh. Bedding was comfortable. Location was close to everything. The recommendations for dining were super helpful. Have book marked this property should we ever return to Rome!!

Fabulous! Close to the palantine. We could see our rooftop terrace from the Colosseum (and vice versa)! Frederici (sp?) gave us great explanations when we got there and the other staff were very helpful. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had the pleasure of finding this gem online. It was our first trip to Rome and we had no idea where to stay, but we couldn't have been more happy with this hotel and its location. We initially had reservations near the termini station, but after looking at several maps and determining what we wanted to see on our three-day visit, we decided on this hotel. We couldn't have been more happy with our decision. We received so much help prior to our arrival with regard to transportation arrangements from FCO airport to hotel, transportation from hotel to the cruise terminal in Civitavecchia port, restaurant recommendations, arranging taxi's, etc. We stayed in the contemporary suite (4th floor) and had amazing views. Super clean, spacious, and comfortable room. And at the end of the day with lots of walking, we'd enjoy bringing our own wine to the rooftop patio for amazing views and sunset (with views of the colosseum). We also enjoyed the use of the small, shared kitchen on our floor. We were able to make fresh ice and enjoy use of the refrigerator and microwave. We loved the fact we could walk everywhere. It was a short walk to the colosseum. The only taxi we took was to Vatican City. We could have walked there (roughly an hour's walk), but we had scheduled a long tour and wanted to save our energy, so arranged a taxi there. Lastly, every single person working there was incredibly kind and helpful. Would without hesitation stay there again. Thank you to everyone at the Residenza Maritti for being so welcoming and helping us our first time in Rome. We'll be back!

Stayed in 2022 and everything was perfect. Host was kind and accommodating. Location is incredible. Rooms were just right to rest between sightseeing. We plan to stay in Rome again someday, and we’ll certainly try to stay at Residenza Martitti again!

Although the location is overlooking the forum, we were very disappointed with our accommodations. The towels and sheets were ripped and had holes and the bathroom was a glorified camp bathroom. The flooring needed to be repaired as well. Very small room and the neighborhood was sketchy and very dirty. Overall very disappointed.

La Tradizione is a true Roman gem. The selection of cheeses and cured meats is outstanding, showcasing authentic flavors from across Italy. The staff are knowledgeable and always happy to guide you with recommendations, making the experience both welcoming and educational. Whether you’re picking up delicacies to take home or enjoying something on the spot, the quality is top-notch. A must-visit for food lovers in Rome.

True to its reputation, the choice and quality of cheese and cured meats is probabaly amongst the best in the city. As a tourist who might not fully understand how the different products with Italian names translate into taste, the sales person was very open to helping out and offering slices of salami’s and cheese to taste before buying! He also spoke good English and made me feel welcome to his excellent shop and recommended products that’ll survive the journey back home. Thank you for all your help. I reckoned this place highly. Grazie.

Had an amazing time sampling different cheeses. It was great we tried cheese from all over Italy. This is not far from the Cipro metro station.

A little pricy, but great products for when you want something extra good. Super customer service

Beautiful store. Beautiful colours. Beautiful products. However, the ready-to-eat food was not good quality. - Melanzane parmigiana: aubergine row, hard and very wet - Stuffed peppers: very very salty - Vitello tonnato: too much vinegar - Couscous: no taste at all - Porchetta: veeeeery fat porchetta - and the price: €60. I didn't take the receipt with but there were 3 things with €10 cost. Probably seafood, probably porchetta and what else? €10 for a portion of aubergine or the vitello? If you are going to open a restaurant, please, have a meeting with the chef. You have a beautiful store, your foods can be improved. 😃😃

Kind staff, amazing quality meat!

Wonderful service. We arrived just after closing and the shop owners opened again for us to sample cheeses and prosciutto. Everything was delicious but it was the friendliness of the staff that made this place such a delight.

We had made reservation for our family of 4, including 2 small children. We had another family that was traveling with us as well and they had booked this same hotel. We had made our booking through Expedia. This hotel cancelled our booking about 10 days before our arrival from America. The reason provided was that the "customer had made the cancellation request" when infact i had never made such a request. We were left scrambling at the last minute to find another hotel as we had already booked local train tickets. I called this hotel repeatedly and no one picked up the phone. I contacted Expedia and they weren't able to contact the hotel either and they couldn't reinstate my original booking either. So, Expedia was of no help. I have phone and chat records yo prove this. We ended up finding another Airbnb at he last minute as most of other traditional hotels were already booked or were way out of our price range. I would advise other prospective guests to keep this in mind that they might have to scramble at the last minute as this property has already proven that they can't be trusted. And this seems to be a common practice at this hotel. Other reviewers have also noted their reservation being cancelled for no valid reasons at the last minute. The best option would be to stay away from this property.

Sadly it was nearly impossible to sleep with the housekeeping and breakfast noise right outside of our room. Starting around 6:30 am it was constant until midday. Location is great but without sleep a hotel isn’t very helpful.

We absolutely loved our stay at this B&B! It’s centrally located and just a short walk to all the major attractions in Rome. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was simple but had everything we needed—for both us and the kids. Highly recommended!

Staff is amazing. Good breakfast. Location is awesome, walkable to all the touristic points. Room is clean and comfortable.

Amazing stuff, so nice and kids-friendly! Room was clean and sufficient. Little bit noisy from outside but you are in center which make sense. The biggest advantage is location close to all famous places and bus station 50m from hotel. Minimarket next to apartment. Really enjoy time here, thank you!

The service in this hotel was incredible. The staff was super kind (especially Gaby and Merlin) and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The rooms are renovated and modern, the facilities are clean, and the location could not be better

Horrible place. The AC does not fall below 28C even though the AC says 17C. Our room was next to the kitchen so extremely loud in the morning. I asked to be moved to another room and they could not help me. I expect more from a hotel that charges $470/night. Stay away from this hotel.

I was in Roma for a short stay and came across this Oasis in the middle of the Romanian city center. And Wow wow wow , oh My God. never seen this before, Shisha plated 24k gold feel like a dream , high standard service excellent quality and tasty Shiha. Even Haven’t had the best experience in Dubai compared to Sunset Shisha lounge . Shisha-man was very professional and helpful , Even helped us pick a great flavor. Highly recommended! Don't miss out

Once you are in Rome, don’t miss to have the best experience at Sunset shisha lounge. Great service, best shisha and affordable prices versus quality and hospitality you will receive. Shisha man was exceptional. Experience to be repeated.

This was the best hookah experience I’ve ever had and I’m from Atlanta so that says a lot lol. Naho was an amazing host! We came as he was closing but he still allowed us to come in and have a good time! He made us a tasty Mojito and Japanese Slipper along with a Love 66 & Blackberry hookah!! If you visit Rome you absolutely have to come to this spot!!

Best Shisha/Hookah drinks ever in Rome, big thanks to Agostino and Issa for the great advice and service, very professional, highly recommended!

Amazing shisha and comfortable to sit and relax But one of the waiters was not professional and kindly rude . Manger and another waiter were amazing :)

I've been arround in all shisha (hookah) bars in ROME but Nothing to compare with this unique atmosphere , they raised the standards very high in ROME

I live in Germany where we have many options when it comes to Shisha but Sunset Shisha Lounge really went beyond all expectations! The quality of the Shisha, the cocktails and the elegant ambiance were top! Thank you Dalilah for recommending this place!

Amazing view and nice walkway

A beautiful park with outstanding view of Rome

👍🏻

Great

(Translated by Google) As I read, Monte Mario is probably the highest mountain in Rome. Here you have a wide view over the city and, when visibility is good, into the mountains. The site appears to be closed between 8pm-8am. The climb is difficult. The paths are uneven, dilapidated. The facility is neglected and there is a lot of excrement and dirt lying around. Part of the park burned. (Original) Der Monte Mario ist, wie ich las, wohl der höchste Berg Roms. Hier hat man einen weiten Blick über die Stadt und bei guter Sicht bis ins Gebirge. Das Gelände scheint zwischen 20-8 Uhr geschlossen zu sein. Der Aufstieg ist beschwerlich. Die Wege sind uneben, marode. Die Anlage ist vernachlässigt, teils viel Kot und Dreck herumliegend. Ein Teil des Parkes ist verbrannt.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk, with a fabulous view of the city... It's a shame that some portions are abandoned, it could all be fabulous (Original) Bellissima passeggiata, con vista sulla città favolosa... Peccato dello stato di abbandono di alcune porzioni, potrebbe essere tutto favoloso

(Translated by Google) a perfect forest for a walk, quite accessible apart from a few passages and above all it is a quite large forest (Original) un bosco perfetto per una passeggiata abbastanza accessibile apparte per alcuni passaggi e soprattutto è un bosco abbastanza grande

Nice enough. No frills. Definitely not a fancy hotel, but the beds are comfortable, the AC and wifi worked great for me. Check in/check out was smooth and easy. Only bad thing I’ll say is the carpets were quite dirty, they could use a cleaning. Overall a good experience.

The location was very good, but the room was nothing like the photos – it was completely disappointing.

Can't really fault it, we had a good stay and service, the only reason for losing a star is we actually stayed in the hotel instead and the room was small and had poor natural lighting. The breakfast is managed by the hotel and is of a good standard with lots of options and friendly staff. Housekeeping came by daily and did a fantastic job, so overall would recommend!

Arrived to the hotel to get the keys and didn't get any information about wifi. There is no phone at the room so had to go to reception to ask. Had a problem with the shower that has been fixed quickly but also had a problem with the air con. They sent one guy that said it's working fine but I said it doesn't then they just ignore it. Came the second day to complain and sent another guy that said again it's ok but clearly the air con doesn't work. They couldn't offer me an extra room but when I checked online if they have spare rooms it says they do. Not impressed!

Elegant and comfortable. In the middle of town.

Clean rooms, great breakfasts and friendly personnel, good location. But thin walls :)

very cozy and clean!

(Translated by Google) Recently opened, it sells fried foods that are perfect for their lightness and actually crunchy sliced ​​pizza that keeps the generous filling well, with some delicious variations also for vegetarians (the truffle and potatoes are notable). Lower prices than the neighborhood average, with interesting offers on Mondays and Thursdays. Tables and armchairs inside. Very kind staff. The only flaw is that, although it is located in a very central area, its location is at the end of a series of similar commercial establishments and risks going unnoticed. (Original) Inaugurato da poco, vende fritti perfetti per leggerezza e pizza al taglio effettivamente croccante che mantiene bene la generosa farcitura, con qualche variante golosa anche per vegetariani (notevole la tartufo e patate). Prezzi più bassi rispetto alla media del quartiere, con offerte interessanti il lunedì ed il giovedì. Tavolini e poltroncine all'interno. Personale gentilissimo. L'unico difetto è che, benché si trovi in una zona centralissima, la sua posizione è alla fine di una serie di esercizi commerciali simili e rischia di passare inosservato.

(Translated by Google) Excellent pizza by the slice, crunchy with traditional and gourmet flavours. Really excellent price and quality. (Original) Ottima pizza al taglio, croccante con gusti della tradizione e gourmet. Prezzo e qualità veramente ottimi.

(Translated by Google) Amazing crunch, top quality ingredients, top staff and service! After trying it, Zodiaco pizza will immediately occupy first place in your ranking! ***Be careful though, just one bite will be enough to create an irreversible addiction to that unique flavour!*** Compliments (Original) Crunch strepitoso, ingredienti di primissima qualità, personale e servizio al top! Dopo averla provata, pizza Zodiaco occuperà subito il primo posto della vostra classifica! ***Attenzione però, basterà un solo morso per crearvi irreversibile dipendenza da quel sapore unico!*** Complimenti

(Translated by Google) Really good pizza and supplies A very wide variety of pizzas by the slice with different gourmet types Very very honest prices Well done The offers based on the day of the week are also excellent (Original) Pizza e supplì veramente molto buoni Una varietà di pizze al taglio molto amplia con diverse tipologie gourmet Prezzi molto molto onesti Bravi Ottime anche le offerte che si trovano in base al giorno della settimana

(Translated by Google) Crunchy pizza by the slice and not a bad offer of fried foods! Working close by it's great for lunch break (there are several tables inside) (Original) Pizza al taglio scrocchiarella e offerta di fritti niente male! Lavorando vicino è ottimo per la pausa pranzo (ci sono diversi tavoli all'interno)

(Translated by Google) I went in by chance and was surprised. Crispy dough and very tasty filling. (Original) Entrei por um acaso e fui surpreendido. Massa crocante e recheio muito gostoso.

(Translated by Google) Exceptional place, amazing pizza and on Mondays, as if that weren't enough, the much lower prices of the competition charge half the price (Original) Posto eccezionale pizza strepitosa e il lunedì come se non bastassero i prezzi molto più bassi della concorrenza fanno pagare la metá

It's a scam. It specializes in defrauding people out of money. They say it's a team. Don't believe them. Just run away quickly.

(Translated by Google) scam. It's better to run away (Original) 詐欺。逃げた方がいい
