Is Monti worth visiting on your trip to Rome?
A while ago, I was talking to one of my close friends in Rome, and she told me that her favourite neighbourhood in the city was none other than Monti. And maybe it was the fact that I can be introverted, but my first thought was: Why? There are so many people in Monti. I just couldn’t grasp the fact that of all the neighbourhoods in Rome, she would pick Monti as her favourite.
However, over the past few months, I’ve been taking Italian classes in this area (I’m now the proud owner of an A1/A2 Italian certificate), and as a result, I’ve spent a great deal of time in the Monti neighbourhood. And I must admit, I really grew to love this part of Rome.
So, in this blog post, I’ll tell you a little more about this area, how to get there, and some places you simply can’t miss!
Top 5 Most Beautiful Viewpoints in Rome
I don’t think I’ve ever written a travel guide without mentioning that I love a good viewpoint. I just love the idea of working hard for something—climbing a lot of stairs or hiking a steep mountain—and then being rewarded with a stunning view you can’t get anywhere else. It’s always the best place to read, eat a self-brought squished sandwich, or marvel at how romantic it all is (even if you’re single like me lol).
As you might know by now, Rome is my favourite place on earth, and I wanted to combine my two loves in this blog post. In this article, I’ll share my top 5 most beautiful viewpoints in Rome. I have beautiful memories of some of them, and I hope they’ll come to mean as much to you as they do to me.
The most Romantic Park in Rome: Parco degli Acquedotti
I am a very simple woman, I love nature, I love a walk, and I love romance. I had written a blog post before about my favourite parks in Rome, and I really thought I had seen most of what the city had to offer nature wise. Turns out I was completely wrong. My roommate recently showed me pictures of the most romantic picnic location I had ever seen in my life. It turned out to be Parco degli Acquedotti, a public park located in the southeastern part of Rome. In this blog post I will tell you all about why you should visit this amazing place and how to get there easily using public transport!
