Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Italy

"Up to a third of the Vatican is covered by the perfectly manicured Vatican Gardens, which contain fortifications, grottoes, monuments, fountains, and the state's tiny heliport and train station. Visits are by guided tour only – either on foot (two hours) or by open-air bus (45 minutes) – for which you’ll need to book at least a week in advance.After the tour you're free to visit the Vatican Museums on your own; admission is included in the ticket price."

"Occupying the entire western part of the Vatican, the verdant Gardens of Vatican City are a collection of urban parks and gardens officially owned by the pope. A few buildings like the Governor’s Palace and Radio Vatican dot the gardens, as well as several sculptures and fountains. The Gardens of Vatican City are one of the top Vatican City tourist attractions."

"A post shared by Carmen Tudor (@carmen.tudorr) on Mar 4, 2019 at 2:12pm PST. Step away from the hustle and bustle of Rome city, by heading out to the Orange Garden which located on the Aventine hill, slightly away from the city centre. The garden has stellar views of the Tiber River and Rome itself and is a favourite spot for both locals and tourists."

"This is one of those magical little places in Rome and a total treat. You’ll also find this on the free things to do in Rome as it is less a full park and more of a viewpoint. The park, which is pretty small at 24000 sq ft or 7800 meters, sits on top of Rome’s famed Aventine Hill and is just a few steps from Rome’s Keyhole."

"Better known as the Orange Garden, it is in fact a small garden with a terrace that overlooks the Tiber up on the Aventine hill. This spot provides one of the best loved views of Rome. The immediate area it occupies was built in the 13th century but the gardens were only realized in 1932."

"The Janiculum Hill offers a sweeping panorama over Trastevere and the entire city, stretching across to the Castelli Romani and the Apennines in the far distance. The view over Rome is particularly attractive as the sun sets. The hill is best known for the unmissable “Fontanone”, a monumental fountain built in 1612 to mark the end of the Acqua Paola aqueduct."

"This area is not easily accessed by public transportation, but the walk up to the top on Via Giacinto Carini is well worth it. You are surrounded by lovely views of the Alban Hills. Make sure that you go to Villa Lante before you leave the area, where you can get the best view of the city."

"Piazzale Giuseppe Garibaldi00165 Rome RM, Italy(39) 338 112-8328. Nestled west of Tiber River, Gianicolo Hill, or also known as Janiculum, is the city’s second tallest hill."

"Close to Porta Pia there lies a nice place to walk, which will pose some amazing views, Villa Torlonia. The area has been transformed into a beautiful area for walking, leisure and photography. It’s a complex of monumental proportions with a vantage points that will showcase the old and new in one singular divide."

"Another one to add to your list of Rome parks is Villa Torlonia. Still today, although centuries have passed since it was first built for the banker Alessandro Torlonia and his son, it belongs to the Torlonia family. It was designed by the well known architect, Giuseppe Valadier (Neo-classic school)."

"Dimora D'Este in Tivoli provides accommodation with free WiFi, 110 metres from Villa d'Este and 4 km from Hadrian's Villa. Important Information This property will not accommodate hen, stag or similar parties.Read more"

"One of the best places to see Rome is from the banks of the River Tiber. A neat spot for photography is around the south end of Ponte Umberto I where you can look west towards the arches of the Ponte Sant’Angelo (St. Angelo Bridge) with St Peter’s Basilica standing proudly behind it. This location is great to visit after sunset when the sky lights up in pinks and reds."

"We started at Isola Tiberina, a tiny island in the middle of the Tiber river that has some lovely cafes and views down the river. Crossing over the river you can’t help by notice the Great Synagogue which is the focal point of the neighbourhood, one of the largest Jewish enclaves in Europe for centuries."

"The Hadrianeum—the circular construction designed and commissioned by the emperor Hadrian in 130 as his personal mausoleum—was completed by Antoninus Pius a year after Hadrian’s death. The adjoining bridge, Pons Aelius, another of the emperor’s projects, was begun in 136. In 270–75, Aurelian incorporated the tomb within the inner city by means of the fortified walls bearing his name."

"I love the Castel at many different times of day, but mid-morning (like the first few pics below), sunset, and nighttime are my favorites. To be fair, I’ve never been there at sunrise, so it could also be amazing then…. Part of what I love about it is how many different angles you have to play with:"
