This was my favorite view of the city. The walk to the top was tiring but well worth it. It’s not located close to all the other famous attractions but I’m glad we ventured out. It’s right across...

One of my favorite days was walking up Aventine hill. It was lightly raining and very quiet. A nice change of pace from central Rome.

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 relaxed garden with great views over the city. A good long walk from the city center and back again.
