The route also showcases the timeless beauty of Castel Sant’Angelo and its angel-lined bridge, the monumental St. Peter’s Square, and the sweeping vistas from Gianicolo Hill, one of the best panoramic terraces in the city.

Here, hidden beneath an 18th century building, lies the Fabullus Wine Cellar, a carefully restored Roman cistern dating back to the 1st century AD.
