Address

Piazza del Campidoglio, 00186 Roma

This is where Rome began. The Capitoline Hill, the Roman Forum, the Palatine — all within a single rione. Walk up to the Campidoglio at dusk and look out over the Forum as the lights come on. It is one of those views that makes everything else feel small.

Our take

Take the ramp up to Piazza del Campidoglio at sunset, not midday. The Forum below turns gold and the city quiets down. Take your time.
