In this short article we tell you and we recommend you to visit 7 panoramic points (and not) of Rome where you can enjoy a special point of view on the ancient city, on the churches and on the historic buildings that enrich the city.
Here are 7 panoramic points (and not) on Rome that we recommend you visit:
- Piazzale Napoleone sul Pincio, Villa Borghese: a special point of view on the city, in one of the most loved places by both Romans and tourists. A glance that goes from Piazza San Giovanni to the dome of San Pietro and beyond.
- Dome of St. Peter: it is certainly an experience between the physical and the mystical. Reaching the top of the dome of the church of San Pietro will give you the possibility of a spectacular view of St. Peter’s square and a large part of the historic center of Rome.
- Vittoriano: the top is the best viewpoint in the historic center. Amazing 360 ° panorama over the city, with the bend of the Tiber up to the Janiculum Hill and the Vatican and, on the opposite side, over the archaeological area of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill
- Piazzale Garibaldi Sul Gianicolo: a panoramic point that gives you an unforgettable view of Rome. Especially at sunset or with the thrill of the cannon shot every day at 12 o’clock.
- Piazza Cavalieri di Malta: the most unusual and studied view of the capital opens from the portal of the monumental complex of the Order. The keyhole frames, between rows of trees, the perspective view of the dome of St. Peter.
- Monte Mario: the terrace on the hill guarantees the widest view of the city and up to the Alban Hills.
And which panoramic point (or not) of the city of Rome would you recommend adding to the list? Let us know in the comments.
