Piazza Garibaldi on Gianicolo Hill
00153 Rome
24/7
Monteverde, Rome –
It may require a bit of a hike, but the effort will be rewarded upon reaching Piazza Garibaldi at the top of Gianicolo Hill. Sitting high above Trastevere, the tranquil square offers an incredible panoramic view of Rome, especially breathtaking at sunset.
During the day, a festive vibe dominates as families bring their children to play or take a ride on the nearby carousel, travelers pass through to admire the view or grab a snack at one of the kiosks, and local residents trek up at sunset to relax after work.
In fact, the generally welcoming and tranquil atmosphere is only interrupted by the daily noontime blast of the cannon that commemorates the formation of the Italian Republic.
By night, the popular lookout becomes a romantic destination for both teens and older couples.
Though Piazza Garibaldi is not exactly a secret, it doesn’t attract nearly as many visitors as other vantage points, so it’s a pleasant place to spend a relatively peaceful afternoon.
All types and ages during the day, younger student crowd after sunset and later.
Carousel rides and panoramic views.
Snacks and beverages available from street vendors and cafés along the road and in the square.
Food from vendors €4–€10. Beer €3, wine €3, cocktails €5.
Casual.
At noon to hear the cannon shot or in the evening to catch the sunset.
