The 37 best places to propose in Rome

Absolutely Magical — A Roman Must-See The Trevi Fountain is every bit as stunning as people say—maybe even more. The moment you turn the corner and see it, the whole scene feels like a movie. The sound of the water, the incredible sculptures, the glow of the marble… it’s pure Roman magic. Yes, it gets crowded, but the atmosphere is part of the charm. Everyone is excited, tossing coins and making little wishes. I threw my coin in too—because who doesn’t want to come back to Rome? If you want the best experience, visit early in the morning or late at night. In the evening, the fountain lights make it look even more beautiful, and the crowds are calmer. Perfect for photos and just taking in the moment. Whether you’re in Rome for a day or a week, the Trevi Fountain is a must. It’s one of those places that reminds you why people fall in love with this city.

Crowded as usual! Best time to visit is early morning. Free entry queue to walk up till the fountain and throwing the coin. The streets are cobbled and might be tough to take strollers but many can manage if you can push nicely. A lot of cafes and gelatos near by to enjoy and spend some time.

The Trevi Fountain absolutely exceeded my expectations. Its sheer size and detail are breathtaking, especially with the sound of rushing water echoing around the square. I joined everyone in tossing a coin for luck, it’s impossible not to. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere feels magical and unmistakably Roman.

Yes, it's beautiful, but unfortunately the chaos surrounding this place makes it much less attractive. There's so many people (like almost everywhere), it's impossible to relax and enjoy this beauty. The experience is more like: quick, let's try to make a picture and leave. While in Rome I went there several times and during several periods of the day and it was always packed. I even check the webcams once at 2am and there were still people there!

Absolutely beautiful, and obviously VERY busy hot-spot for tourists! The only thing that ruins it is rude, entitled influencer/ tourists that block the visit/ view for everyone else, selfishly taking photos and selfies for over 20 minutes. However, this doesn't detract from the stunning monument and it's attraction for Rome! You can queue (average 1-1.5 hours) to get closer to the fountain if you have time.

Of course it’s beautiful, the fountain is iconic and the details are incredible. But honestly, it’s almost impossible to enjoy properly because it’s always overcrowded, no matter the time or season. So many tourists push and block the view 😩 Still, worth a quick visit if you’re in Rome, just don’t expect a peaceful moment there.

Lot's of visitors around the place but still guards are keeping it in order and safe. It's another centrally located attraction, as many more around Rome city centre. You can use public transport of course but unless in a hurry you may better walk to the place for best experience of Rome spirit. Lovely architecture with lots of decorative details.

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!

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.

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)

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.

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.

Piazza Navona is a truly stunning square and one of the most beautiful spots in Rome. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, with artists painting, street musicians playing, and visitors filling the cafes. The centerpiece is the magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers. It's an absolute masterpiece of sculpture that you can just walk right up to. The other fountains complete the picture-perfect scene. It's the perfect place for a leisurely stroll, to people-watch, or to simply sit on a bench and enjoy. The energy is infectious, making it a must-visit piazza that captures the heart of Rome.

A very nice piazza. It was built over The Stadium of Domitian which was used for athletic competition. There are many nice stores and cafes. The 3 fountains, Fountain of the Moor, Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of Four Rivers are beautiful. A great area to site see and have lunch or a drink. Well worth a visit if you are in Rome.

A beautiful site that everyone must see. We arrived at 9am and the piazza was really quiet. Take some time to walk between the three fountains and take in the architecture. If you are heading on to some of the churches in Rome but are ill equipped and need a scarf to cover yourself, don’t be tempted to buy from the little shops here. They charge €10 for a small scarf and you can find them for c. €3 in other shops.

Built on the elongated perimeter of the ancient Domitian Stadium, known as “Circo Agonalis,” where gymnastic competitions took place, Piazza Navona is one of the most beautiful and famous squares in Rome with its showy fountains, baroque palazzi, and colorful cast of street artists. My partner, our friends, family member, and I visited this spot in September during our golf cart tour. Since it was refurbished by Pope Innocent X, it has been a gathering spot for people from all over Rome and all walks of life, and it continues to be so to this day. At its center stands Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi), completed in 1651. This dynamic sculpture represents the four great rivers of the known continents at the time—the Nile, the Ganges, the Danube, and the Río de la Plata—each embodied by a powerful figure surrounding an ancient Egyptian obelisk. Two other fountains adorn the piazza: the Fontana del Moro at the southern end, depicting a Moor wrestling a dolphin, and the Fontana del Nettuno at the northern end, featuring Neptune battling a sea creature. Together, these fountains create a harmonious rhythm across the square, uniting art, mythology, and the musical sound of water. The church of Sant’Agnese in Agone added so much charm to the scene. The best part was no entrance fee, no crowds, just a short line. Once one steps inside, the interior is a feast for the eyes. Rich marble work, ornate gold details, and stunning frescoes create an atmosphere of grandeur and devotion. Whether one's stopping by during the day or in the evening, the space itself feels like stepping into an open-air museum—full of charm and atmosphere.

A very pleasant place. There are many tourists here, but it still feels very spacious. I encourage you to visit the square at different times of day — the light beautifully complements and shapes the atmosphere of this place. You can sit on the benches around the square or by the fountains and simply take it all in. In the afternoon, there are more people selling things illegally. The mornings are definitely calmer…

There early morning before the crowds & it was so peaceful & quiet & allowed you time to soak up the beauty. The fountains are lovely, the buildings so classical. Lots of cafes you enjoy watching the we world go by & the ever growing crowds.

Piazza Navona instantly became one of my favorite spots in Rome. The Baroque fountains, lively cafés, and street artists create an amazing atmosphere. Walking through the square feels like stepping into a painting, with history and beauty everywhere. It’s the perfect place to relax, wander, and soak in Rome’s charm.

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.

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.

(Translated by Google) The suggestive Gianicolo Hill is located in the historic center of Rome, Rione XIII (Trastevere), it is not part of the iconic seven hills because it was far from the ancient Aurelian Walls. A PLACE RICH IN ART, HISTORY AND TRADITIONS: Walking in this place you can encounter places of art, historical testimonies, places of refreshment, the firing of the cannon at midday and even a puppet theater layers that have settled over the centuries. Due to its beauty it is also frequented by several couples for romantic walks.

Among the main points of interest are: • The Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, imposing and symbolic. • The Monument to Anita Garibaldi, where the remains of the heroine rest. • The over 80 busts of Heroes of the Risorgimento, protagonists of one of the most important phases of Italian history. • The Museum of the Roman Republic, a place to delve into the history of our Risorgimento. • The Mausoleum Ossuary Garibaldino, a place with the fallen of the Roman Republic. A JOURNEY THROUGH THE DETAILS OF ROME: If what you read was useful and enjoyable, I invite you to read my other reviews, this place is also part of a journey through the details that make the soul of the Eternal City unique. (Original) Il suggestivo Colle del Gianicolo si trova nel centro storico di Roma, Rione XIII (Trastevere), non fa parte degli iconici sette colli poiché era distante dalle antiche Mura Aureliane. UN LUOGO RICCO DI ARTE, STORIA E TRADIZIONI: Passeggiando in questo luogo si possono incontrare luoghi d’arte, testimonianze storiche, luoghi di ristoro, lo sparo del cannone a mezzogiorno e perfino un teatrino delle marionette strati che si sono sedimentati nel corso dei secoli.

VIAGGIO FRA I DETTAGLI DI ROMA: Se quanto letto ti è stato utile e piacevole, ti invito a leggere le altre mie recensioni, anche questo luogo fa parte di un viaggio tra i dettagli che rendono unica l'anima della Città Eterna.

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....

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

Kind staff. Big portions. Amazing view. Our secondi came before our primi!! The beef stew was good and the octopus also but wasn't as tender as it could have been. My primo was so salty. The porcini seem to have been soaked in salt water. Either the chef isn't tasting his food or his palate is off. The ravioli's filling was good but almost non existent. Wine by the glass isn't priced so you get a shock when you get the bill. 12.50 for a glass of red... it was nice but only certain types of places fail to be transparent with these things. So many tables in the place that it is hard to navigate. I understand maximising profit but still it ruins the experience a bit. I can't imagine the chaos of it were full. Decent over all but very pricey for the quality offered.

If you are visiting Castel Gandolfo, Pagnanelli is a must! Knowledgeable, welcoming staff, gorgeous view, and the perfect meal. Sommelier recommended the perfect regional pairings. The Prosciutto with melon, and burrata was delightful- add family goat cheese, trust me. Gnocchi with clams, calamari, and black truffle is a must and best meal in Rome. Rabbit was perfectly prepared, zucchini with pesto was delicious. The only reason this was not 5 was due to lamb with a bit more gristle and small bones in two pieces and chocolate coconut cake was dry. The wine cellar is breathtaking and was an unexpected escape.

Absolutely incredible experience. Each dish was better than the next. Exquisite tastes, large portions, very nice presentation. The staff was friendly and available. Overall one of the best places I have ever dined at. Complimenti.

I visited a wonderful restaurant overlooking the lake — the view is absolutely stunning during the day! The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!

We visited Rome for our 39th wedding anniversary and Pagnelli’s was highly recommended. The establishment is a generational owned restaurant since 1881. We placed ourselves in the hands of our waiter for his food preferences / recommendations and it was outstanding. The only thing better was the view overlooking Lago Albano. The service was perfect. I highly recommend you make reservations to try this place.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. They take you on a tour on their win cellar before they seat you. Best view ever, sunset over the lake surrounded by greenery. Prices were good too. Would 10/10 recommend

4 reasons to visit this restaurant: a wine cellar with 35,000 bottles, a view of a lake that was once a volcanic crater, authentic Roman cuisine, and the Pope’s summer residence nearby.

We recently visited the Mouth of Truth in Rome. Be prepared for a very long queue! We also found that its location is quite a distance from other major attractions. If you're on a tight schedule or have limited time for sightseeing in Rome, you might consider skipping this one. While it's an iconic spot, the time spent queuing and traveling to and from it might not be worth it if your time is precious.

It’s a free entry and surprisingly you are offered free photo shoot 😄 there is always a queue for getting closer to the monument, however, worthy to wait.

For the donation, it is ane excellent deal. It is a picture opportunity and you donate any amount you wish. I did 2 euros. Line up goes fast and you exit through the church giftshop.

The monument is well worth a visit. If you like your filmography and remember seeing Roman holiday it’s a great walk down that scenes memory lane. It’s donation only so that’s up to you. Queues can get get quite timely I’d say get there early as possible to avoid queues. But if you don’t wanna wait you can pop your camera through the bars and take a snap in between people getting ready for photos.

Wheelchair access via a gate right by the mouth of truth. A helpful member of staff opened it for us. Step to get in which was somewhat challenging. Church attached was nice for a quick visit.

It's quite a short line, you can walk from other attractions here. I recommend it if you are not in rush.

If your a fan of the movie its worth stoping by. The chuch its attached to is lovely as well.

We feel incredibly lucky to have celebrated our wedding at the breathtaking Casina Valadier. From the panoramic views of Rome to the beautiful gardens and exceptional food, every detail made the day truly unforgettable. A special thank you to Eleonora, who executed everything flawlessly – we’re so grateful for her support and expertise.

Enjoyed a well deserved aperitif time on the second floor terasse after a visit to the historical landmark gardens and Promenade at the Villa Borghese museum and park , The menu offered a lot of options in terms of quality gourmet choices and simple drinks and snacks. The panoramic view during golden hours justifies the little delays on the service considering it is more than enjoyable having a seat with friends in one of the most desirable spot of Italy. Appreciated the recommendations of the chefs on the best Roman dishes to try .

Good place to be. Beautiful by nature, it's chill and the vibe is peaceful for an Roman aperitivo. the service is ok, but nothing super exciting. We made a reservation but they never picked up the phone when we tried to call and know about the parking. Which I thought a little inconvenient. Sometimes they picked up but transferred to automatic waiting message. Tip: the tables close to the entrance have a lot of bees around. Try to change if you can. As food recommendation: Supli di caccio e peppe is amazing, and so is the pizza shown in this picture. They have this particular cheese taste that is creamy and suits very well with the rúcula and tomatoes💃🏻 Aperol Spritz is also a perfect start. Because of covid the menu can be seen through the IQ code they provide each table.

Amazing view of the city and St Peters Basilica at night. Lovely! Relaxing! 😊 $$ Aperitivo and snacks before 7:30pm are reasonable prices - afterwards expect 12 euros for glass of wine, but it goes come with olives and small snacks. Nice to just relax before going somewhere else for dinner. High prices but inside the amazing villa berghese - worth the visit! Go at sunset for the best views. Popular for events and weddings ❤️

Supercool Small Villa House on the terrace of the famous Pincio Park (Villa Borghese) with stunning view of Rome from the top!! This Small Villa is open for visit and has a nice bar and exclusive restaurant..home of big events and exclusice events!! 👍💈🎠

Amazing food , great view and fantastic service. Nice romantic restaurant overseeing all of Romes landscape

Great value for money! We had late lunch on the terrace. Exceptional staff. Lamb outstanding. Risotto to leave your husband for!

It's in the city but you don't see, hear or feel the city. Its wild, pure nature surrounding you is absolutely incredible. In summer months be prepared to take extra water as it might be a bit hot and for sure you would not want to miss all the views and the hike here. P.S. - you can find a trail here that leads you to pipes residence Castel Gandolfo it's only 18km from that park.

The bike ride took me all day as I wanted to stop off at every site along the map and see everything. So if your like me, plan for an entire day, bring lots of drinks and snacks. It’s definitely worth the trip, so much to see and do along the way. And if you make it to then end they give you a pin. It’s a long bike ride and it’s a little bumpy but lots of fun, I’ve done with people and solo. I would highly recommend taking a nice bike ride along the way. Or walk if you like but you won’t see nearly as much.

We took a tour on a golf cart. We do not usually take a tour but I highly recommend this tour because it is crowded on the road with cars, buses, bikes and pedestrians. It was nice to have someone to maneuver you efficiently around to see all the different sights along this road. This area is incredible.

First thing to know: this is more of a (free, open, no hours) national park/reserve than an actual family park, as there aren't many facilities like benches, toilets, water fountains etc. So consider this as a nature area with lots of trees, green views, paths and in some areas - also antiques and historical remains. In the Park's website you can download a detailed map of the entire area which can be useful. As mentioned, there are no cafes and restaurants in the park itself but rather closer to main/side roads - so bring you own food and drinks.

Grab a bike at the information centre. Took around 4 hours to cycle 15 miles (to the end of the park and back. Its a stunning, informative ride through history. You're following the footsteps of 2000 years of history. Highlight of this trip to Rome

Of all the places I saw in Rome, this was simply one of the most stunning. You can truly admire the results of rewilding attempts whilst in the middle of wildflowers, hares and rabbits. I rented a bicycle to see more of the park and even then could only visit a fraction of it! It's heartwarming to see families and children enjoying this green getaway from the city life. Worthy of spending an entire afternoon and maybe even a full day - I would have wanted to do just that if I had not booked for a dinner at a restaurant located at the other end of town.

I will never forget the moment when I found milky way in the cloudy night sky on Oct 12th, 2025.

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.

A hidden gem in Trastevere. The Raphael frescoes are amazing. I loved all the fruits. We visited in March and all the citrus trees in their beautiful garden were full of fruit, and parrots. The Villa is very near the Rome Botanical Garden and visiting the two makes for a lovely afternoon.

This hidden villa provides rooms filled with art dating back to the 13th century. The art is really diverse and interesting, some are disturbing, others are of beautiful landscapes! Whilst the building is huge, the visit didn’t take too long to walk through as It was only a portion of the building itself.

Nice reprieve from the usual crowded tourist sites in Rome/vatican City. Small enough ( took about an hour) to leisurely walk around w zero crowds. Garden was peaceful & on a warm day breezes felt cool sitting under the trees . Close enough to walk from St peters w many restaurants / shops nearby too.

Loved this place! Hardly any crowds, just beautiful Raphael frescoes and a calm vibe. Such a nice break from the busy tourist spots in Rome.

Stunning villa with frescos not only by Raffaelo but also Sebastiano del Piombo and Il Sodoma, as well as various other magical things and temporary exhibitions. Well worth visiting and beautiful gardens as well. Right across the street is the Galleria Corsini with an impressive collection of paintings—no Raphaels tho!

Very quiet place. Perfect for watching some art. Its not big so can be a fast tour when visiting Trastevere.

This is one of the nicest Villa’s I’ve ever visited. It’s very unique architecture and design make it a really genuine place. It can be busy at times, so check the times. There are plenty of great works of art to see, there are lots of nice, statues, paintings and artifacts. The collection is very well preserved and displayed. The grounds are very well kept and maintained, there’s lots to see and do in and around this area. I really enjoyed my time here and I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Quiet. Great to escape crowds. River lovely.

If you want to escape the crowds in the heart of Rome take a walk down the stairs to the bottom of the embankments of the the River and you’ll be surprised at how peaceful and beautiful it is down there!

Isola Tiberina is a beautiful place to visit, especially in the evening when a peaceful walk along the river feels calm and relaxing. The island is home to a hospital, a charming church, and cozy coffee shops. One of the oldest bridges in Rome, Ponte Fabrizio, connects the island to the city. In the summer, you'll also find riverside shops, along with scenic walking and cycling paths — it’s definitely worth a visit.

I visited Tiberina Island after seeing its high rating on Google, but I was disappointed by the experience. The island is extremely small and can be explored in under a minute. There are no notable attractions or activities, and the overall environment felt unkempt and filthy. I would not recommend visiting, as it does not offer much to see or do

I liked it because it was just cool. Didn't bother me that they let it get all littered and overrun with weeds. The history and the traces of the old magic were still enough to inspire. Once again, I find myself wishing Rome would not ignore the minor jewels she owns. I am here in Autumn, and I think the brisk air and changing leaves added to the magic.

The island is historical dating back to 290 BC... when a temple was built for healing...later it was a hospital and there is also a Basilica from the 10 century .....Many wonderful sights walking the banks of the River Tiber some expected and other unexpected....its not how I prefer my art but some prefer art on themselves .. venturing into the side streets....there are good places to eat....

Looks beautiful but there are no good places to sit. A perfect place to go for a run or ride bikes.

Piazza del Campidoglio (often anglicized as Capitoline Hill Square) is one of the most elegant and historically significant squares in Rome. Location & Significance • Located on Capitoline Hill (Campidoglio in Italian), one of the Seven Hills of Rome, and historically the political and religious heart of the ancient city. • Overlooks the Roman Forum and is near Piazza Venezia, making it a central point for visitors exploring ancient Rome. Designed by Michelangelo • In 1536, Michelangelo Buonarroti was commissioned by Pope Paul III to redesign the square. • The trapezoidal shape, geometric star pattern on the pavement, and the elegant symmetry were revolutionary and symbolized a shift from medieval to Renaissance urban design. Key Buildings Around the Square 1. Palazzo Senatorio – The central building at the rear, which still serves as the seat of Rome’s city government. 2. Palazzo dei Conservatori – To the right; houses part of the Capitoline Museums (sculpture and artifacts). 3. Palazzo Nuovo – To the left; also part of the Capitoline Museums (Roman busts and statuary). The Statue in the Center • A bronze equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, which symbolizes Rome’s imperial glory. • The current statue is a replica; the original is preserved inside the Capitoline Museums to protect it from the elements.

Michelangelo’s design is a stunning example of Renaissance urban planning. Great views of the Forum from the back. The Lupa Capitolina adds to the historical weight.

Amazing architecture and beautiful sights from outside and inside the square. Visited in late September at noon and the atmosphere was super lovely. Won't hesitate to come here once more as I get a chance.

🚨🚨🚨WEEDING ALERT 🚨🚨🚨 check photos Piazza del Campidoglio ("Capitoline Square") is a public square (piazza) on the top of the ancient Capitoline Hill, between the Roman Forum and the Campus Martius in Rome, Italy. The square includes three main buildings, the Palazzo Senatorio (Senatorial Palace) also known as the Comune di Roma Capitale (City Hall), and the two palaces that make up the Capitoline Museums, the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo, considered to be one of the oldest national museums, founded in 1471 when Pope Sixtus IV donated some of the museum's most impressive statues, the She-wolf, the Spinario, the Camillus and the colossal head of emperor Constantine. Over the centuries the museums' collection has grown to include many of ancient Roman's finest artworks and artifacts. If something was considered too valuable or fragile in Rome and a copy was made in its place for display, the original is likely now on display in the Capitoline Museum. The hilltop square was designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century. at the behest of Pope Paul III.

One of the most important squares in Rome both in ancient and renaissance.

Incredible architecture and beautiful sights from outside and inside the square. Visited in late March at the evening and the atmosphere was super lovely. Won't hesitate to come here once more as I get a chance.

Michelangelo redesigned the whole square to make Rome feel more like a capital and less like an ancient ruin graveyard. The result? A stunning Renaissance piazza, reached by the ceremonial Cordonata stairs and centered around a horseback Marcus Aurelius (relax, it’s a copy). Flanked by the Capitoline Museums and two elegant palaces, it's a place where history, symmetry, and tourists with selfie sticks all come together. Don’t forget to look down — the star-patterned paving is Instagram’s real MVP here.

We ordered 2 pizza slices and 2 iced teas, view from your seat is breathtaking, there was a very friendly lady serving us which was very attentive, however before she got to us I noticed a good few waiters walking around but not serving the customers waiting to order which made me give 3 stars instead of 5 for service. Overall a nice break while sightseeing the castle!

I visited the rooftop café at Castel Sant’Angelo expecting a peaceful break with a view. What I didn’t expect was to be treated with such disregard by a member of staff. The café was not busy, and I just needed a spot to have lunch and do some work. When I politely asked the waitress in black for a table, she looked at me, said nothing, and walked away. I remained patient, assuming she might be occupied. Later, my order was brought to another table by mistake. I calmly indicated it was mine. She saw me, yet again offered no acknowledgement and walked off. Meanwhile, I observed her interacting warmly and professionally with other guests. The contrast was stark and deeply disappointing. As an Asian woman, I will not speculate on motive but the difference in treatment was undeniable. It left me feeling unwelcome in a place meant for all visitors to enjoy. The café’s location is stunning. The pizza was mid. But no setting can compensate for being treated as if you don’t exist. Hospitality should be consistent for everyone.

We got to the Castle cafeteria and the gentleman who "took" our order never picked up the dirty dishes from the previous customers dispite he came to our table three times before we got our order. I noticed they did for others, my wife had to take all the dirty dishes inside the bar. Also, this person took my order and after some minutes he approached and asked me if I wanted to order anything (completely forgot our order), so, I had to go inside to the bar and confirm, this is such a bad service from this particular person. I'm referring to the person in a black shirt, in the attached picture

Beautiful views over the city. Delicious pastries. Coffee was a bit watery - it was fine, but we had much better coffee elsewhere during our stay in Rome!

La Terrazze at St. Angelo's Castle in Rome offers an unparalleled view that truly takes your breath away. The panoramic vista of the city below is nothing short of spectacular. However, the experience is marred by several drawbacks. The venue tends to be extremely crowded, which can make guests feel uncomfortable and cramped, detracting from the enjoyment of the stunning scenery. Moreover, the service leaves much to be desired, with waitstaff appearing disorganized and overwhelmed, leading to frustrating delays and inconsistencies in service. Despite the mesmerizing view, the overall experience at La Terrazze is dampened by the overcrowding and lackluster service, leaving patrons longing for a more seamless and enjoyable dining experience.

Five stars only for the view and atmosphere. The service is slow and ordering is such a hassle and the food is way way below average.

The view is beautiful and pretty much the only reason to visit this place (if you're visiting the Castle anyway). We were told to sit at the table and wait for our order to be taken. At least 20 minutes later and after they had served a lot of people who came after us, I told the waitress we've been waiting and she came right away. Sadly they were out of cornetti con crema by then even though they had a lot when we arrived. I opted for their hot thick chocolate instead of a coffee, which was good, but the portion was really small for 6€. My friend's donut was stolen by a sneaky seagull the moment she looked away, so be careful!

Interesting archaeological site -currently being worked on. You can see the scavi. Small museum (and archive and offices) of the main force behind the conservation of the area south of Rome, and the creation of the greater Via Appia area as a public park with protected status, Cerdegna.

Is a small place, there is only a visitor center with a video and the remainings of the thermas. Id not necessary to enter.

Beautiful archeological area with nice benches among the green where you can enjoy the birds singing. The enterence is free. There's also another part of the area where you can visit an exibition for additional payment.

It's a historic site in via Appia Antica... The entrance is free. For me it was a good place to take a short rest after a long walk and I was lucky enough to get to see a live music and dance there.

The gentleman at Capo di Bove was so passionate about the preservation of the appinine way, delightful.

Entry to see the foundations is free. There are also free public toilets on site.

If you're on the Via Appia Antica, it's certainly worth stopping by to see the remains of the private Roman bath there. It's *FREE, and would certainly accommodate a small school group. It's also peaceful & quiet. It was 95° this June (2022) the Sunday we were on the Via Appia, but with all the shade there, it felt a good 10 degrees cooler. The signage is good, but the main attraction there are probably the designs in the floor tiles, which pale by comparison with those at Ostia. Still, it's worth stopping by. As with all such places, you may find it closed, as we did in 2021, posted hours notwithstanding.

As a librarian, I felt compelled to visit this fountain, but I must admit I was somewhat disappointed. It appeared a bit unkempt and could benefit from a thorough cleaning. That said, it remains a charming location to visit, offering a picturesque setting despite its maintenance issues.

One of the pretty offbeat fountains in Rome. Its good to visit there and see it. I suggest when you visit Piazza Navona go and take a look at it as it's different from the regular drinking fountains in Rome.

Interesting, different, that's about it. There are so many of these "quirky" fountains that they can be formed into an overall more interesting quest.

Fontana dei Libri, Rome: A Literary Delight! 📚💦 Tucked away near Sapienza University, the charming Fountain of the Books is a whimsical gem! Featuring sculpted books, a deer head, and a scroll, it's a unique and delightful tribute to knowledge. 🤓 Less grand than others, but its intricate details and quiet location make it truly special. A lovely, unexpected find for book lovers & curious explorers! ✨🇮🇹 So enchanting!

One of the more artistic looking public water fountains in Rome. Water was coming out smoothly too and no weird iron or pee-like taste too like some other fountains. It's funny we have these free fountains everywhere in Rome, apparently more than 2,500 operating ones today, but restaurants don't give out free water.

Fountain of the Books provides drinking water. I had some water. These photos were taken on November 26, 2024.

After Pantheon, you can drink water here ❤️

Villa Wolkonsky (in Italian, the word villausually includes not only a large building but also its grounds) is the official residence of the British ambassador to Italy in Rome. It was originally owned by a Russian princess, Zenaǐde Wolkonsky (born Zenaǐde Alexandrovna Belosselsky-Belozersky), who made her home there in the 1830s. Her salon was frequented by Karl Brullov, Alexander Ivanov, Bertel Thorvaldsen, Gaetano Donizetti, Stendhal, and Sir Walter Scott. Nikolai Gogolwrote much of Dead Souls at the villa. Subsequently it passed through various ownerships until it was sold to the German government in 1920, becoming the Germanembassy and ambassador's residence. After the Liberation of Rome in 1944, the Italian government sequestrated the property, and it was placed under the Allied Control Commission. For a short time it was occupied by the Swiss legation and then the Italian Red Cross. When the British embassy at Rome's Porta Pia was blown up by members of the clandestine militant Zionist group Irgun on 31 October 1946, the Italian government made the Villa available to the British government to use as a temporary embassy and residence. The United Kingdom purchased the Villa in 1951. When the new UK Embassy was reopened at its original location in 1971, the offices moved back to Porta Pia and the Villa reverted to its role as Her Majesty's Ambassador's Residence. On the same grounds are outbuildings containing apartments for senior embassy officials. The Villa itself is frequently used for seminars and workshops, and is also rented out to appropriate academic or commercial organisations for major events. The extensive grounds are also the venue for the annual Queen's Birthday Party. They are the jewel of the Villa, still containing many features originally introduced by Princess Wolkonsky. A recent tree and plant census listed around 200 different species. The entrance to the villa is located at 4, Via Ludovico di Savoia.

A rare green space in Rome closed off to the public by the british aristocracy. Shameful.

Villa Wolkonsky (in Italian, the word villausually includes not only a large building but also its grounds) is the official residence of the British ambassador to Italy in Rome

The residence of the British ambassador to Rome. Not usually open to the public.

Very hard to access the many archeological treasures that belong to humanity. The glasshouse museum is no longer open once a month. It’s a scandal.

great to be part of the Queens bday party

One of the most lovely properties i have seen in Italy. Expansive garden with lush green lawns. Ideal for entertainment.

Absolutely Magical — A Roman Must-See The Trevi Fountain is every bit as stunning as people say—maybe even more. The moment you turn the corner and see it, the whole scene feels like a movie. The sound of the water, the incredible sculptures, the glow of the marble… it’s pure Roman magic. Yes, it gets crowded, but the atmosphere is part of the charm. Everyone is excited, tossing coins and making little wishes. I threw my coin in too—because who doesn’t want to come back to Rome? If you want the best experience, visit early in the morning or late at night. In the evening, the fountain lights make it look even more beautiful, and the crowds are calmer. Perfect for photos and just taking in the moment. Whether you’re in Rome for a day or a week, the Trevi Fountain is a must. It’s one of those places that reminds you why people fall in love with this city.

Crowded as usual! Best time to visit is early morning. Free entry queue to walk up till the fountain and throwing the coin. The streets are cobbled and might be tough to take strollers but many can manage if you can push nicely. A lot of cafes and gelatos near by to enjoy and spend some time.

Yes, it's beautiful, bit unfortunately the chaos surrounding this place makes it much less attractive. There's so many people (like almost everywhere), it's impossible to relax and enjoy this beauty. The experience is more like: quick, let's try to make a picture and leave. While in Rome I went there several times and during several periods of the day and it was always packed. I even check the webcams once at 2am and there were still people there!

The Trevi Fountain absolutely exceeded my expectations. Its sheer size and detail are breathtaking, especially with the sound of rushing water echoing around the square. I joined everyone in tossing a coin for luck, it’s impossible not to. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere feels magical and unmistakably Roman.

Absolutely beautiful, and obviously VERY busy hot-spot for tourists! The only thing that ruins it is rude, entitled influencer/ tourists that block the visit/ view for everyone else, selfishly taking photos and selfies for over 20 minutes. However, this doesn't detract from the stunning monument and it's attraction for Rome! You can queue (average 1-1.5 hours) to get closer to the fountain if you have time.

Of course it’s beautiful, the fountain is iconic and the details are incredible. But honestly, it’s almost impossible to enjoy properly because it’s always overcrowded, no matter the time or season. So many tourists push and block the view 😩 Still, worth a quick visit if you’re in Rome, just don’t expect a peaceful moment there.

Lot's of visitors around the place but still guards are keeping it in order and safe. It's another centrally located attraction, as many more around Rome city centre. You can use public transport of course but unless in a hurry you may better walk to the place for best experience of Rome spirit. Lovely architecture with lots of decorative details.

I´m leaving two stars because I´ve been tricked with an almost mandatory tip, let´s explain: this is Europe, not the USA and tips are not mandatory, in fact there should not even be the option in the POS. One may leave tip, cash or card as an add on if he feels like. So we were a group of friends, July 2025, it was not even dinner we were all sitting at the bar and we only had drinks. The bill was important, but it was only bottles... when they presented me the POS, there were the annoying 3 options: small, medium, high tip.... so I left a small. To me this is an embedded extorsion, because you are in a good mood, you don´t feel like motivating why you don´t want to leave tip ( because we are not in the USA and it was not a dinner) so I let it go and added a tip, which left a very bitter taste.

We went there for an aperitive: it's amazing! The "Old Fashioned" tastes awesome, the atmosphere on the rooftop is very cozy and the view is pretty nice. There are a lot of pigeons though and they might try to steal your food. The cocktails are a little pricy (20€), but totally worth it. We tried "Godfather" and "Espresso Martini" too - really good. We also got a free plate of crisps and nuts. Would definitely go there again.

The view is beautiful, service was great too, cocktails - looked nice and tasted good. The prices for them are high but they come with some snacks) I would recommend visiting this place

What a beautiful place to spend a romantic evening . The views are incredible , the ambiance perfect . We spent three lovely evenings on the terrace and were looked after so well by all the staff. It was lovely to be welcomed back on the second and third evenings by staff who shook our hands and remembered our drinks . It is expensive but worth every penny . We will definitely return when next in Rome .

I had dinner at the roof terrace with a local friend last month. A bit complicate to get to the terrace but quite fresh and conformable. Food was good but nothing like wow!!! We got a ordinary dish of tortelli and a risotto acqua di pomodoro. Both dishes nice but far too expensive for a non home made tortelli and a simple risotto. The hummus for start and dessert could be much better. Staff were friendly.

Best view in Rome we have seen and a beautiful terrace. We enjoyed a lovely prosecco and Italian meat. Would recommend to everybody because of the view and the great service

5/5 for the view but lost a point on my old fashioned. €20 for cocktails and my old fashioned wasnt even good. I would come again for the view for sure.

1 star because this is a scam on Google map. It’s watse of my time and 2 bus tickets

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the Rose Garden thinking of going to the Municipal Rose Garden... but it was a wonderful discovery. In the shop there are many varieties of flowers very well displayed and the added value is the owner who amazed me with his friendliness and a gesture of kindness from times gone by. I recommend him if you want to give a flower as a gift. (Original) sono arrivata al Giardino delle Rose pensando di andare al Roseto Comunale... ma e" stata una bellissima scoperta. Nel negozio ci sono tantissime varietà di fiori molto ben esposte e il valore aggiunto e' il proprietario che mi ha stupito per la simpatia e per un gesto di gentilezza di altri tempi. Lo consiglio se volete regalare un fiore .

(Translated by Google) Historic shop in the Appio Latino district, always well stocked with excellent quality plants and flowers. Great kindness and professionalism of the owner. However, I notice that lately it appears closed without an indicative sign (Original) Negozio storico del quartiere Appio Latino, sempre ben fornito di piante e fiori di ottima qualità. Grande gentilezza e professionalità del proprietario. Noto però che ultimamente appare chiuso senza un cartello indicativo

(Translated by Google) Wonderful compositions at honest prices, lots of professionalism and courtesy. Highly recommended especially for telephone orders and deliveries throughout Rome. (Original) Meravigliose composizioni a prezzi onesti, tanta professionalità e cortesia. Consigliatissimo specie per ordini telefonici e consegne in tutta roma.

(Translated by Google) ATTENTION! IT IS NOT THE MUNICIPAL ROSE GARDEN or Rose Garden but a flower shop (with the same name). Many users of maps do not check and post photos and reviews of the rose garden here and therefore confuse even more those who are looking for it, who could easily think it is in this place. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ROSE GARDEN it is next to the Circus Maximus in via di Valle Murcia. Search on maps for MUNICIPAL ROSETO and you will recognize it by the menorah-shaped plant, the 7-armed Jewish candelabra (the garden was in fact the Jewish cemetery). (Original) ATTENZIONE! NON È IL ROSETO COMUNALE o Giardino delle Rose ma un negozio di fiori (con lo stesso nome). Molti utenti di maps non controllano e postano qui foto e recensioni del roseto quindi confondono ancor piu chi lo stia cercando, che cosi potrebbe facilmente pensare sia in questo luogo. SE CERCATE IL ROSETO è di fianco al Circo Massimo in via di Valle Murcia. Cercate su maps ROSETO COMUNALE e lo riconoscerete dalla pianta a forma di menorah, il candelabro ebraico a 7 braccia (il giardino infatti era il cimitero ebraico).

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended place. It never disappoints. The flowers made here always stand out from the others. Beautiful, fresh, colorful and fragrant. Prices are low and very honest. It is difficult to find the same competence and skill in other places. It really makes you look great. I guarantee. It is good for any composition. Then the owner is really kind and has an expert hand. I also fan home deliveries. I think I've said it all. Now go and find out for yourself. (Original) Posto straconsigliato. Non delude mai. I fiori fatti quí si distinguono sempre dagli altri. Belli, freschi, colorati e profumati. I prezzi sono contenuti ed onestissimi. Difficile trovare la stessa competenza e bravura in altri posti. Veramente vi fa fare una gran figura. Garantisco. È bravo per qualsiasi composizione. Poi il proprietario è davvero gentile ed ha una mano esperta. Fanjo anche consegne a domicilio. Penso di aver detto tutto. Adesso andate e scopritelo voi stessi.
