Pincio Terrace
adjacent to the popular Villa Borghese and some of the most interesting museums of Rome the Pincio's garden are a must for all travellers. There are three ways you can reach the Pincio Terrace
- the first from Villa Borghese Park is probably the more evocative as it'll take you to a beautiful panoramic terrace that will make you hold your breath. The terrace appears on the Piazza del Popolo, oval shaped square with a series of marble statues on its perimeter and a Egyptian obelisk in the middle dating back to 2.000 b.C.. It was brought to Rome by Emperor Augustus and placed in the Circus Maximus to celebrate the victory on Marc-Anthony and Cleopatra and the conquest of Egypt. Two domes of the twin churches Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria di Montesanto are also well visible as well as the most famous Michelangelo's Dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Moving your eyes to the left you'll see also the Vittoriano, another panoramic spot of Rome.
- Another way to arrive is coming up from Popolo's Square, a walking that will better let you see the square from different angles.
- The last entry to Pincio is walking from Trinità dei Monti, the church on top of the Spanish Steps.
Gianicolo Hill
This is the second-tallest hill in Rome Right on top of Vatican City, and although it isn’t part of the Famous seven hills of Rome, it still offers a breathtaking view of the Eternal City. Every day at noon a cannon fires from this hill to signal the exact time. There’s a gorgeous fountain, the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, commonly known as the ‘Fontanone’ and A part of the old Acqueduct built by Emperor Trajan.
The Monument for Vittorio Emanuele II
Crowned as The Ugliest Building around in the Eyes of the Italians, the Victor Emmanuel monument has been given nicknames such as 'typewriter' ,'wedding cake' and the 'Big White'.
The monument is nevertheless well worth the visit, if only for the great views from the top. The top of the Il Vittoriano is also connected to the campidoglio square, saving you another climb of the capitoline hill.
Aventine – Orange Grove
coming from the Circus maximus going up to this unexplored poorly inhabited hill after passing by the city's rose garden you come to one of the more off the beaten track spots in rome away from the busy center in to this orange grove overlooking the city.
