About Janiculum Hill
Why We Love It:
Beloved by roman guides for its views—especially at sunset—the Gianicolo offers a calm break from the city center. Don’t miss the noon cannon blast, a quirky Roman tradition since 1847.
Roman Guides Insider Tip:
Best sunset view in Rome. Local musicians sometimes play here at dusk—bring a bottle of wine and enjoy.
Local Secret:
Snag pizza al taglio at Antico Forno Roscioli (Trastevere branch), a quick stroll away.
