Archaeological site, Garden, Lookout

The most important of the Seven Hills of Rome is the Palatine. It was here that the original settlement of Rome began around 1,000 BC and from here the city gradually grew to its present form. The Palatine hill is now an open archaeological jewel with many remains of ancient buildings, public spaces and sports grounds and is the best preserved of all the hills after the Capitoline Hill.

Park, Gallery

In addition, there are several attractions in the park.

Gallery, Garden, Lookout

Galleria Colonna is exactly the kind of place that looks suspiciously good on Instagram. In fact, I came here because of an Instagram video that was recommended by an algorithm.

Island, Promenade

Isola Tiberina is the only island on the Tiber River - and one of the most pleasant places for a short stopover between the centre and Trastevere. Don't expect a big Colosseum-type attraction. Rather, a place that works by atmosphere, location and by taking a break from the chaos of the city for a while.
