Is Gianicolo (Janiculum Hill) worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Gianicolo (Janiculum Hill) earns the hours.

Allow 30–60 min.

The locals' favourite panorama — a wide, free terrace above Trastevere taking in the whole tiled, domed skyline, magical at sunset. There's a daily noon cannon blast and a puppet theatre for kids. The only catch is it's a climb or a bus ride up.
