Gianicolo Hill Rome
Welcome to the eighth hill of Rome, the Gianicolo Hill! That’s right, you did not misread. You probably have always heard about the famed “Seven Hills of Rome”. However, many people in Rome regard the Gianicolo as the eight Roman hill.
Located right above the borough of Trastevere, on the west-side of Tiber River, the Gianicolo or Janiculum Hill offers one of the most terrific view over the Eternal City. Starting from via Garibaldi you can reach the top of the Hill with a 20-minute walk across the Passeggiata del Gianicolo. It’s totally worthed!
