Orange Garden

Tucked away in the elegant Aventino neighbourhood, the idyllic Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden) offers a staggering view over Rome’s skyline. Dominated by St Peter’s dome, the entire cityscape is laid out at your feet – it’s the ideal place to take panoramic photos of the Eternal City. The garden, filled with elegant Roman pines and the eponymous orange trees, is located within a gated complex so be sure to check the opening hours. It’s usually open until dusk, so pack a picnic and watch the sun set over the city. The garden is also right next door to one of Rome’s worst-kept secrets; the Keyhole of the Knights of Malta. Peek through this keyhole and you’ll discover a perfectly-framed view of Michelangelo’s magnificent dome.
