Your journey to Rome would be incomplete without experiencing the trifecta⭐⭐of Terrazza del Pincio, Piazza del Popolo, and Villa Borghese Park. These three gems, each offering a unique perspective of the Eternal City, can be effortlessly combined into a single, fulfilling excursion.

On both October 25th and 26th, 2023, we made two visits to Terrazza del Pincio, drawn by its sweeping panoramic views of Rome.
Piazza del Popolo
Upon reaching the Piazza del Popolo, visitors are greeted by a vibrant square brimming with life. The majestic Flaminio obelisk, a towering Egyptian monument that has stood sentinel since the 10th century BC, proudly stands at the center of the square, its hieroglyphics whispering tales of ancient civilizations. On either side of the obelisk, the twin churches of Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli gracefully adorn the square, their Baroque facades adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to the surroundings.
The terrace was designed by the architect Giuseppe Valadier in the 19th century. It is made of stone and has a balustrade decorated with statues and vases. The terrace is a popular spot for tourists and Romans, who come here to admire the view of the city. It is particularly beautiful at sunset, when the city is illuminated by the rays of the sun.
