Gianicolo to Trastevere: Bohemian Rome and Hilltop Views

Rome, Lazio, Italy

Begin above the rooftops of Rome, where Garibaldi’s monuments guard the Gianicolo ridge and fountains sparkle under pine trees. From here, drift downhill through terraces and Renaissance courtyards to the bohemian lanes of Trastevere. Along the way, discover Bramante’s Tempietto, Baroque palaces, and the golden glow of Santa Maria in Trastevere before ending beside the Tiber Island — where the city’s timeless rhythm returns to the river.
