Amasing views at the top of this hill as well as an orange garden well worth the walk to the top. Also soon youll be able to walk from the top to the bottom on the river side.

Lovely ruins/gardens. Quiet cool easy to walk around, get great photos BUT do this last, go to Colosseum and Forum first to avoid crowds. Then visit this area last to wind down.

This is just a important historical hill, but there are great veiws all the way to St. Peter's from the Orange Park and San Saba is an unforgettable and beautiful church. Also, go see the secret key hole!! One of my favorite off beat things to visit.

You look through the hole into a hedge lined path directly at St Peters. Hard to photo the view. Stop at the hotel Aventine... More

The Basilicas of Santa Sabina and Sant'Alessio are old and beautiful, and the tree-lined park on the Aventine affords a great view of the city of Rome. The view through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta is a novelty that must not be missed while you're on the Hill--view three distinct nations and a perfect angle of Saint Peter's... More
