Giardino degli Aranci (Parco Savello)

A compact, fragrant garden on the Aventine Hill with one of the city’s best skyline views—perfect for short, soulful strolls. Benches and shade make it a pleasant pause on longer itineraries across Testaccio, Trastevere and the Tiber. Expect wide paths and mixed terrain that’s kind to paws, with shade pockets and benches for water breaks. Go early or at golden hour in summer to avoid heat; bring a collapsible bowl and extra bags. Leash rules vary by area—check signage at each entrance and respect protected habitats.
